Delicious friends, thanks to your excellent bug tracking and build kicking abilities we are now at a stage where we’d like to put the Fallen London redesign back up!
On 1st October, we’ll be putting the redesign live on www.fallenlondon.com and then shortly after we’ll point fallenlondon.storynexus.com to redirect to www.fallenlondon.com too. We may stagger these a bit because it helps our servers (and programmers!) to do these one at a time.
Our testing has been going smoothly, and we’re incredibly thrilled to put the redesign back up as we’ve had so much positive feedback over the course of the two betas.
If for any reason though you run into trouble, please email support@failbettergames.com directly. And, if you haven’t seen the new site yet, the beta will remain open at https://beta.fallenlondon.com until the 1st October.
Once it’s live we’ll continue to monitor performance to make sure everything’s working as intended. Thank you for going on this journey with us, we’re so pleased to bring a new shiny exterior to the same dark, exquisite underground city we’ve been building for over eight years!

Welp, I suppose it was unavoidable. Here's my main feedback so far. I'm going to be keeping all concerns about aesthetics out of this - yes, I still think the bleached flat beige design is soulless, and the blue buttons and progress bars look like something out of a stock bootstrap.js theme, but that's neither here nor there. I can get used to aesthetic changes. But these are some severe usability issues that make interacting with the game much more painful that it used to be, for no good reason: and these I consider almost game-breaking, because a player will spend an action probably more than a hundred times every single day. Even a small inconvenience that makes it less straightforward to do so add up extremely quickly, and that's why I consider the following issues to be far more important than the aesthetic choices or really almost anything else.
1. On mobile, it is now impossible to see relevant information at a glance. I have a large phone as far as phones go (it's, what, 5 inches or something? I don't remember, but I know that going much further than mine lands you in phablet territory), with a 1440p screen, so there's absolutely no reason whatsoever I shouldn't be able to see my actions and opportunity cards (and echoes, stats, etc. while I'm at it) at the same time. However, I'm forced to use the "app" layout that throws the opportunity cards over into another tab (which isn't loaded by default, so whenever I open the page I have to manually switch over to it to see my cards) - seeing as cards are one of those things you check back very, very often, that's extremely jarring. Forcing "show desktop site" on my mobile browser loads a layout I simply cannot comprehend - it's desktop-style, but the sidebar is in a drawer that's hidden by default, so you cannot see your actions unless you explicitly expand the left hand side menu to check. Action are something you're probably going to be looking at all the time, so the fact that that layout exists at all is mind-boggling.
2. Visual separation is severely lacking between various components. Worst offender is the storylet "title card" (containing the storylet title and description), which is barely distinguishable at a glance from storylet options. Dear Failbetter, realise that anyone who plays your game for more than a week or so will end up playing storylets over and over and over and over again, and having an easy to use UI at a glance is supremely important since the last thing you want your players concentrating on is what's what on their screen and how they can interact with it - rather, you want them to either be reading the story if they're going through new content, or efficiently using their actions with as little pain and tedium as feasible if they're grinding. The UI is there to help the players and should be as easy to use as possible - if I have to spend mental energy figuring out what's what on a page that I'm going to see tens of thousands of times, it's bad design and I'm quickly going to get tired of fighting against it to do what I'm trying.
3. Echoing the eternal complaint of everything taking up too much space. I know Failbetter have listened to some feedback and made some good changes already, but the vertical space complaint has been around for ages with no effect. Again, this isn't an aesthetic taste issue, but pure usability: many grinds now take significantly more scrolling, and scrolling is tedious. Compare clicking two buttons on the same screenful, to clicking one button - scrolling down - clicking another - scrolling up. Now imagine doing this 40 times in a row, 3-4 times a day, every day, and realise how tedious and infuriating the new scrolling requirements are. It's serious enough that some grinds I feel like I just wouldn't have the patience for anymore.
I realise that these all can be fixed with custom CSS scripts, and yes, I'm definitely going to either make or use some myself, so this isn't going to make me quit the game. But people shouldn't be forced to use custom, community-made hacks to make the official layout usable. New players won't know to go look for userscripts/userstyles; they'll stick to what they have, because they don't know any better, and they're going to experience the game as being much more tedious and less pleasant to interact with than is in any way necessary. And even old players shouldn't have to fix, on their own, the official layout, just to get back to a level of user-friendliness for grinding that always existed before.
I'll send this, along with a couple of bug reports (on my laptop, the equipment on the Myself tab downright overflows way to the left), and some more aesthetic suggestions (why in blazes can't we see the Bazaar shop icons without hovering/tapping? Other than making the new design look even more soulless, of course) to the appropriate email addresses when I have some extra time to do a more coherent writeup, so FB can look at it internally if they wish, but I figured I'd put down my initial thoughts here for now to see if anyone has anything to add or refute. Could also be useful as a start to a comprehensive "fixing the new layout" userstyle/-script.
And a closing remark - I really don't want to be too negative. Really, the redesign brought in a lot of good things, like proper HTTPS (finally!) or the search bar. And some design decisions I can actually agree with - the three rectangular spaces template that were used for stat display was really quite useless, the more detailed banners are great, and a few things were indeed awkward to tap on mobile. But it's really hard to try to have a positive tone when I find myself with a strong distaste for almost everything else that got changed, from the in my opinion utterly uninspired and bland new aesthetic theme (and the square icons cutting out a bunch of good art for many items), to the minor hiccups in usability introduced for no good reason (why the heck to I have to pan the map on mobile? It used to fit just fine. Or why do I have to scroll five miles to sell an Enigma - I knew exactly the page it was on, and it hadn't moved pages in ages (pun mildly intended), so it takes measurably longer for me to sell expensive stuff like that now), to the downright nearly game-breaking annoyances that would probably be enough to make me give up the game completely if there wasn't the option to fix them through community styles.

I'm not entirely sure what to think of this, to be honest. For the look, I adore the new header images, giant fuzzy kitty in the Labyrinth of Tigers and all, but it really does feel like using a phone app on the desktop overall - call me old-fashioned, but that feels surreal to me. (It does feel like a relief on the phone, less pinching and zooming and squinting, but I play on the phone pretty rarely for fear of losing outcomes to a shoddy connection.)
About the removal of "who else is here" and suggested contacts... on the one hand, I definitely get the privacy side of profiles being essentially private by default now and social actions being sort of opt-in by having to actively seek them out off-site. On the other hand, if I just started playing now, I'm not sure I'd know where I'd even go for seeking out players to interact/RP/whatever with, which feels like a shame given how much social actions enriched the game for me. If this aspect is staying, could a link to the forums be added somewhere on the main site, maybe when you're initiating some social action, so new players have an idea of where to look?

First off, there are functional improvements and even some visual ones that I highly appreciate.
The search function both for qualities and items are great, separating possessions from the myself tab seems like a good idea, and all the card slots are finally neatly lined up next to each other for 5 card lodgings. But..
..I'm not overly fond of the new aesthetic, since it looks -at least to me- far too sterile and modern for a victorian themed game like Fallen London. I guess tastes differ and it is also simply a matter of me being used to the old design so much.
It will be probably only take some time until it will grow on me.
I just wish some things would stand out a bit more and look less unobtrusive. Somehow it is harder for me to read because nothing really seems to demand my attention and catches my eye at first glance. Overall it reminds me more of an informational spreadsheet or some working interface than a game.
Maybe its just me, but I find it more straining to my eye, since I have to focus harder.
Apart from that I don't seem to have any of the problems mentioned by others. I use Firefox as a browser and everything is working fine so far:
Texts are were they should be, I can see my remaining actions with ease,
not much scrolling and the Sidebar Snippets are visible as well.

It's pretty, but now that I must actually use it for normal play, I find that I hate that storylets are just huge. All the padding and increased borders means that in the same vertical space I can see much fewer options (it feels like it takes about about half as much space, but I don't have hard numbers), which leads to endless scrolling. Sadly, this part is not sensitive to window size, so I can't help it. And in places like the Empress' Court, that really kills the mood

I know that, like most people, I am resistant to change, but this new layout, at least to my aesthetic, is blocky, less stylized, and unattractive. It feels like I am on my phone, but on my laptop. It is certainly nice, and I am sure a lot of people worked really hard on it, but I just don't like it and I don't even feel like playing right now. I guess I will get adjusted. I wonder if there was any user feedback and if there was some sort of Hawthorne Effect that led beta testers to give the socially desirable responses. Anyway, thank you failbetter for your efforts. I just strongly dislike it. Please don't consider this complaining, it is meant only as feedback.

Same, I usually play on my desktop and only occasionally log in on my phone, and I logged in on my phone to check and it does seem much nicer there, but on my desktop I feel like someone's just stretched out a phone app to fit my screen, so much empty padding around options.

It's attractive, and I can see that some aspects are an improvement, but like others I find the white (beige) space requires an excessive amount of scrolling. And on mobile, the number of clicks required has notably increased, which makes my morning routine take nearly twice as long, which is unsustainable. I might have to give up playing except on desktop.
I also miss being able to see randomiser values, and I can't even find the Airs of London to put in my scrapbook. I'd taken them out of my profile since the randomiser values became visible, so this is an unwelcome discovery.
Edit: Another thing I miss is being able to see at a glance how many second-chance items I have, so I know whether I have to go farm some. Anyone found an easy way to see them, other than clicking into a storylet of the applicable quality?

Sorry, but it hasn't grown on me any since last time it was rolled out. I still hate it. This may well be it for me and Fallen London. The profile page especially, is a shadow of its former self. I can't see how anyone could say that is an improvement. I hate being such a negative nancy, but I am really, really unhappy with this change.
As an aside, I normally use Firefox, and while I don't like the new version of FL, it does appear to be functioning correctly as far as the layout is concerned. But I just had a look at it on Internet Explorer and it seems to be a right dog's breakfast on that particular browser. Text not fitting in boxes, things in the wrong place, etc.

I'm... Okay with it, I agree that the bizarre phobia of corners that has infected all modern app design doesn't suit a Victorian era setting, but I can get used to it, the real thing that bothers me though is that the smaller icons cut off a bit of the artwork in some cases.

If you mean the little bits of lore on the right-hand side, they haven't actually been flushed away. If you aren't getting them I think that is some sort of error, perhaps, because I'm still getting those. "Who else is here?" really needs to come back, and sharpish, mind. Without that there is no in-game way of making contacts, and you have to resort to outside means, which is less than desirable. And not being able to see what other people are up to in an area makes FL feel much more of a single-player experience.

I'd like to say that I kind of miss having the "Who Else is Here" section - I met a lot of other players by seeing them there, and not having it makes the world feel a lot less...populated.
I mean, I haven't the foggiest of where I'd meet new players now, other than on the forums.

I agree with Daedalus Falk about the "Who Else is Here" section. One of its primary virtues as that, by following it, you can quickly get an idea of who is still playing FL (as opposed to the many who opened accounts, played for a while, and quietly left).

I've been playing on the beta site since FBG opened it up to all players some weeks ago, and I've grown accustomed to it, though I think the old site had more of an underground London flavor. I also see that allowing the old site to remain in use puts a burden on them, as they end up maintaining two separate sites--not a good idea for a small company.
What I am learning now is how the new site plays on my smallish Android smartphone. Mechanically it seems fine, if a bit slow. So far, the biggest issue I have is that I have to hit the "menu" icon to see how many Echoes I have while I'm looking at items to sell in the Bazaar (all that information is on the same screen in tesktop mode, of course).
It continues to be a vast improvement, for smartphone playing, over the late, non-lamented app. The search bar on the inventory page/s is something that the game has badly needed for a while, and I'm glad we finally have it.
Thanks to Failbetter for staying the course and getting this done right.

It took me a few minutes to realize that this new "Responsive" (i.e., phone-friendly) interface is (as is standard for "Responsiveness") screen-width dependent. So if you have it in a window on your desktop and don't see the bit of lore on the right, or even the current stats on the left, try maximizing the window to see those.

Not a fan. The opp cards are frequently hanging on me - I'll be able to play a couple, and then on the third or fourth I'll click to load a card or play a card or select an option, and it'll just load indefinitely.
I suppose I'll try and file a bug report when I'm home and on my laptop instead of my phone, but I wish that a bug report wasn't necessary at all. The old site worked fine.
Also mourning the loss of the sidebar snippets. Those were a joy to read. And count me for another who doesn't like how large all the options are - there is a lot more scrolling to see options, even though they've actually been divided up into more tabs (so there's more loading of different tabs, too).
It does seem easier to farm orphans to the tigers based on how the tabs refresh after an action is taken, I'll give it that. And the search function for items will be useful, hopefully. But overall I dislike it.
Edit: Oh, and not a fan of having to drag the map around. It was easier to navigate when I could see all of it at once, now I can barely see a third at one time. Maybe a quarter?

I thought it might be hard too, but it's already position-able, and this seems to do it for me:

There's no longer an option to put the Airs of London in the scrapbook. Furthermore, I have it there and the icon no longer loads or has a mouseover text.

I'm just going to get this out of the way: It looks prettier. There's no disputing that. But DANG IT I am not a fan of the vastly increased card loading times, and the increased loading times in general. Nor the way all the locations have been swapped around such that my Flit grinding was thrown off.

Not getting the difficulty loading opp cards on laptop so far, either. Unfortunately for me, I do most of my playing on my phone while I'm out and about during the day.

Yey! It's here!
I've been using the beta site on my phone for a while now and it's nice to see it making it's way to the main version. Finally the Bazaar has search boxes, finally the Possesions are all on their own separate tab!
I do have a few nitpicks with some things, I'm more then happy to wait and let FB squash any remaining bugs before thinking about changing things.

I've been using the new design as much as possible and am very happy to have it. It makes the game much more enjoyable on my phone, and the desktop is a bit smoother. I really really hope who else is here returns asap though.

For anyone else who thinks the new design takes up a bit too much vertical space on desktop, here is my quick & dirty attempt at compacting things a bit:
(the top bar with logout is still available, just overlayed on the shrunken header image)

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne?hl=en
If you want the "subscription days remaining" count back, just delete the line that starts with.js-item.item .item__desc

Hello! We'll be focused first and foremost on making sure the redesign is working smoothly and as intended, before we examine adding in any new/previous features

Glad to finally see the new site go live! It is a lot easier to use on my phone, and a lot of my routine activities go smoother on desktop. The search bars are enormously useful.

In Opera I only get a backwards F slowly pulsating on the screen. But in Firefox I can play as usual.
EDIT: Turns out that was because I had yet to update my Javascript settings in Opera so that the new domain name is allowed to run those things.

re. Jolanda: refresh the page and try again; the same thing happened to me. Something to with a holdover from the first launch that doesn't go away until a refresh? I'm not a computer person.

Maybe you can't put them in the scrapbook from the new site, but clicking on the thing that's there and then selecting the Airs of London worked just fine now when I tried.
EDIT: Okay, now that I bothered going to my profile from the new site I see that there's a new version of the profile which does not include the Airs of London, nor the Airs of the Forgotten Quarter. But so far the old fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile still seems to be working, where Airs are available. And while the Airs won't show up in the new Myself tab, they still show up in the new profile page, if set by the old one.

Or why do I have to scroll five miles to sell an Enigma
If it's really just for one sellable, there's a search box. Type "eni" and there it is.
Doesn't help if you want to clean out your inventory just want to *start* at enigmas.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean, the cursor does start in the box? I can click sell and immediately type the number I want to sell & press enter to sell 'em without having to do/click anything else.

Not in Mozilla. You have to move the cursor to the amoutn box every time. If you are cleaning inventory and do that for 50 items, it gets very annoying.
Huh, I generally use Firefox as well. A quick test confirms that Chrome behaves the way Barse describes (and the way it *used* to work in Firefox).
"esc" to dismiss the "transaction completed" dialog no longer works in either, though.
