Site UI gripes by ralesk
Holy crap, every time I try to browse my updates I get 1) disoriented 2) generally upset by this site...
For submission updates, you have the paintbrush icon that will bring you to a page that allows you to nuke all kinds of stuff or maybe go further to just submissions or just collections. Unneeded, confusing second click.
For anything else, there are multiple icons (watches, comments, what have you), that bring you to the same page however — so the exact opposite is happening.
To top that off, invert selection is on the right, remove selected on the left, at least on the submission pages — whereas the action button is on the right in the other page. Total inconsistency here.
And then there's also the issue of the site having a lot of mystery meat operation especially when it comes to replying to comments. And the fact that depending on the mouse cursor position, the submission grid will try to put the title under your cursor rather than to avoid it (with left/right text alignment).
The forced cropped thumbnails make the browser grid completely useless too.
Yeah, so nice-looking and flashy site, except quite on the unusable side. Blegh.

Mystery Meat interface = you have to hover to see what it does (even worse if to see that it does anything, or there is anything there that does anything — you get the idea)
The 'reply' link in the comment box is an example of that — I (being used to FA) didn't even think about being able to reply to Shouts, only after I shouted at my shout page did I see that if I hover the comment I get a reply link that changes my comment box into a reply box. You could try to just fade that text out so it's always visible what can be done with the item, and when hovering it can get a bigger contrast.

much aknowledge -
More than a year later, the buttons are still reversed and cropped previews still make it uncomfortable to browse the art :(

And now the submission update management buttons have switched place o.o!

Could you expand on that, please?
