Has anyone seen the redesigned Kink.com look yet? I’m not sure when Kink.com redesigned all their sites, but I joined one of them about a month ago and probably wouldn’t have if it had the new site design, so I assume either I inadvertently logged into the ‘classic’ version of the site or they rolled out the new look in the past few weeks. I’m not opposed to a site being redesigned to make it more usable, but the Kink redesign looks like a redesign just to make it look new. In my opinion it doesn’t add anything and I think it really detracts from their sites because it is less user-friendly and less intuitive. If you’re familiar with how Kink sites looked, you had an option to display either a ‘brief’ or ‘full’ view of the scenes. If you chose full you got six scenes listed per page and for each scene you started with the upload date, the scene title and the stars. Below that you got two large screencaps and eight smaller ones underneath. Then below that you got a written description of the scene. Kink provided you with a lot of information – visual and written. The new look offers 20 thumbnails per page. Each of these thumbnails is about the size of one of the eight smaller ones you could get before. That’s the only visual clue you get as to what’s in the scene. The only written description you get is by holding your mouse over the scene to get a pop-up. And I find getting rid of the pop-up to be a pain in the ass. Mouse over to the upper-left scene thumbnail and the pop-up will obscure the next scene thumbnail to the right. And it doesn’t necessarily go away when you move the mouse. On many occasions I’ve had to mouse over to the third scene over, wait for the pop-up for that scene to appear and then move my mouse back to the left to the second scene thumbnail to get that description to pop up. I know I’m not doing a great job of describing this, but trust me; the old setup was much easier to use. There are two other important things to note: 1. I accidentally stumbled on a way to get the ‘classic view back but I don’t know if it will work unless you have a membership there. If you go to the pulldown menu (which is hidden under your username in the upper right of the screen) and select ‘manage subscriptions’ you are given an option to do so using the ‘classic’ site. Clicking that seems to bring you completely back into the classic site, including accessing any specific site you’ve joined. I have no idea if this loophole will be closed. 2. One advantage to having a membership to a Kink site is it then gave you a discount price to any other Kink site. But that discount is only available if you manage to get into the classic site. I tried joining another Kink site through the new site and there was no discount offered, but joining through the classic site gave me a discount. (On a related note, it took me a long time to even figure out how I could subscribe to the new site. There is a “Buy” button under a large screenshot / streaming trailer for the latest scene. But if I click that am I buying that scene, which is an option with Kink? I took a risk and it turned out to be a pull-down menu where buying a subscription – at full price – was an option. I probably shouldn’t complain about this one issue though, since trying to find a way to give Kink my money revealed a way to get to the classic version. One huge caveat here: I might be way off base. It is possible that hidden somewhere is a way to expand and improve things. I’m currently a member to two sites and apart from the way I mentioned above, if such a fix exists I haven’t found it. I emailed them to tell them that I didn’t like the new look. On cancelling a membership I said the same thing. Maybe enough people will dislike it and complain to convince Kink that change just for the sake of changing isn't a good idea. Anyone else have any experience with the new Kink look? | |

I'm sure I'll join again at some point, and I'll let you know. Are the photo zips still available in the classic view? I heard they took their zips down in January, so while the photos are all still online, they have to be downloaded individually. Glad I downloaded all the zips for a number of kink sites including fuckingachines.com. I can't imagine the time to download all of those photos individually. Better to be pissed on, than to be pissed off. | |

I have a link to the classic site and that's the one I always use so wasn't even aware that they redesigned the site. I do know that they more or less are concentrating all of their efforts on making videos and therefore the pic option is now significantly smaller than it was in the past. I also know that they have significantly toned down the misogynist stuff in theirs gang bang site. Long live the Brown Coats. | |
