This website has always been a nightmare on mobile but the new updated layout has made it a lot worse. I'm on android and the complete loss of the clock is a bit of a downgrade as the ximboland timeframe isn't an exact match for GMT - it's hard to suss out deadlines/competition closures etc. without the presence of the clock.

There are a few overlapping banners on mobile as well (voting for PXFC is buried under the prime ximbo banner for instance).

Apparently I have 1700 unread xeets. After being inactive for a year and returning, I don't really understand how the xitter feed works in terms of function and I have no idea how I dictate whose xeets I do and don't see. (Lads, if there's an all site feed, can somebody hit me up and tell me as such, I'm very perplexed by it). We could really use a "mark all as read" button to wipe those notifications.

I concur with the above user's recommendation for a dark mode. This new one is very intense on the eyes which can be a bit much when people come on here to unwind. It's also a shame that people's avatar's faces are being obscured by their state information in the little panels showing users. It would be nice if the state symbols were a little smaller?

Finally, I've been begging for this my entire time here but the create an outfit function is basically unuseable on mobile as the scroll button is impossible to click on in android. Rectifying this would be a huge QoL improvement for the site and would probably encourage more casual players to take part in the game.

Hoping this is taken as the constructive feedback you are seeking when you ask us to raise bugs with the new layout. It's hard to know if we're permitted to actually give honest feedback when a lot of people got jailed last week for doing just that. There's a chance there's a lot more user feedback which people are holding back on because they don't want the temp ban that may come with it. Some reassurance that feedback is genuinely wanted might help with this.

okay i'm home and using my computer. this is way, way too white. SAN i really really want you to scroll here for an hour or two and tell me if you don't feel your eyes burning afterwards. it's 2025, we spend all in front of our screens- there's a reason so many websites and social media apps come with a dark mode. the purple shade at the very bottom on the page is a little easier on the eyes.
like crevette said:

those last three icons are practically invisible. just because it's a gradient doesn't mean its better.

and this is the one that hurt me the most: scrolling on some profiles makes me feel like sisyphus running up that hill. it's pain. i don't know what went behind that choice. just why? you just made profiles look messier and like they take up more space than before. some people worked on the profiles to fit better on the older sizes, a lot of images now look weirdly placed. just because everything is in different squares doesn't mean it looks better! scrolling to leave a comment for a daily task shouldn't feel like torture

Hi, mobile pop ups are not scaling for mobile at all on android, unsure if other people on other phones have the same issue.

Hello,

I have some feedback as well.
Please add dark mode, for some of us who work on pc's all day this white is killing us. 
Also we need some tweaks, some text are way too big and look out of place. 
What is the point of adding senators on the bottom of the page where you can't see all of them if you aren't a senator yourself, but you can check the full list on the Pink H tab? 

Also maybe edit the state icons a little, update them to look more modern.
Seeing my avatar in the forum with the ugly state icon makes me cringe a little.

Overall I think it's a good change, it was needed 10 years ago. But thank you for the work.

I'll leave my two cents here.

It will definitely take a bit of time for everyone to get used to the new design. Personally, I find it nice overall—though a few tweaks here and there would really help improve the user experience.

I also appreciate the addition of new banners, but the use of AI-generated visuals slightly kills the mood. It feels a bit less personal and creative. I understand the connection between a more 'mature' website and more 'realistic' photos and how easy that connection can be made, but I think visuals that stay true to the site's identity and blend well with the content would make the experience feel more fluid and visually cohesive. Also, excesive use of banners with no real reason only crowds the website.

Below, I’ve listed a few smaller things I noticed—they should be quick to fix.

>>The text is too big and not consistent - and in some instances the text gets out of the field. Like in this SS from the closet/shop. In some places, the text isn’t very visible—for example, in the 'New Message' page (see screenshot) or the text on the banners. The text is bold, which might make someone think it’s going to be visible. However, the placement on top of a gradient overlaying a picture isn’t the most ideal choice for readability. It can be hard to see clearly.
>>There’s currently no clear way to access your profile from the menu. Most pages have a back button, but for example, when you're in the city section, you don't have it. Relying on clicking the logo to get back isn't very intuitive—it's not something everyone will think to do. A visible, consistent profile button in the main menu (on the right, where all the other icons are) would really help with navigation.
>>When accessed from mobile, the first screen doesn’t show anything useful, and it takes way too many scrolls to reach your profile. Usually, a mobile version is designed separately, since it needs more tailored adjustments. For example, the xeets - you can collapse them using that little arrow - but they could easily sit under the profile section or not be there at all, as they can already be accessed from other places. Also, the banners could be hidden or minimised to make navigation faster and more user-friendly.
>>The senators/pink house carousels take soo much space and the bottom part of the website design is repetitive. A much better option would be to make an improved Pink House page.
>>Related to dark mode - personally I don't think its a good idea for an website that highly depends on visuals and how they are seen. Having to take into consideration that some use dark mode, others use light mode is not something players will do easily, adds a big extra step. Phones have some settings to adjust the warmth of the screen, to be easier on the eyes + it can be solved in other ways, aka less white more greys.
>>I am curious if there was a reason for moving around the profile items, they were much more balanced before than they are now.

Overall, I think a few tweaks and a mix of 70% modern and 30% nostalgia should keep everyone quite happy. And being able to make outfits on mobile, ofc - but this one is not related tot his update - its simply in need of AN update.

Thanks again for all the work so far—from everyone involved! I also want to mention that user feedback is so important for any website, because users are the ones who spend every second of the day here. I think there is quite a useful list of feedbacks that can be taken into consideration.

Leter edit: maybe we can also leave nullplayer in the old version of the website and remove the user from the tops - it's a reminder of something that went wrong - more so for the website, than for the players.

The update is fine but please for the love of xod change the white background. It's too intense on the eyes.
It would seem a lot of the user base would like dark mode. Is this something we will get in the future?

It's basically impossible for me to upload an image from mobile now but I have now got a screenshot of what I mean about the overlapping banners.
