I'm gonna be honest, for the sources tab/pop-up, I feel that there needs to be some sort of way to tell if you own it or not before clicking it. Doesn't need to be that extravagant, grey or red text or something of the like should do. Otherwise I'm liking the updates.
Agreed, even if the purchased sources are a brighter grey than the others.
So I like the mega menus a lot better than the old drop downs, BUT I did prefer it when Monsters, Spells, and items were their own tab, and weren't collected under an umbrella.
To be honest, I wish there was a single button to press from any page to get to the search function for monsters, spells, or magic items. No menus needed, just straight there. Those are the three sections I use way more than any other.

Maybe check out my thread on setting up Chrome for DDB :-) You can add custom search engines to Chrome for monsters, spells and items. You could even make the main search the default in Chrome, so you can open a new tab and start the search right away.
Very minor, but the brightness contrast on the 'coming soon' next to Saltmarsh, versus the black background, is really low. I'd suggest bumping it up several points - maybe use the on-hover color as the base color.
The list view seems to be way more functional. If I can go straight to the class or race I`m looking for, it will be perfect! Keep up the good work! =)
The mega menu is terrible. It blocks way too much of the screen, especially on smaller window sizes. It takes way too many clicks for me to get from looking at my character sheet to looking at a specific class, for example.
Having to click on the "classes" button, then to wait for the "classes" page to load, only to then have to scroll down to wherever Sorcerer might be, then click on the sorcerer class, then wait for THAT page to load... Instead of just mouse-over "Classes --> Sorcerer" and click. No need to burden my internet connection with pointless visits to pages I have no intention of staying on.
A compact list view, or even better, the old drop-down menu is much more usable and easier on the eyes.

I think you might have missed the original post that describes our in-progress response to similar feedback where I mention that the Game Rules and Creations menus will be updated soon to utilize the list view described in that post.
Once those changes are released, you will be able to mouse-over Game Rules, Sorcerer, and click.
Happier with this new itteration! Thanks
Yay! Sources is SO much better now! Thank you for listening to the feedback!
Agreed, even if the purchased sources are a brighter grey than the others.
Worth it for the Dev Updates button alone! 😂
I like the sources menu update, I can't say I'm a fan of the images as menu items on the rest of the menus. I found it jarring.

I assume that someone is playing with the mega menus? All the pretty pictures have gone and I just have text lists now
How to add Tooltips
It's not exactly the same as the old UI, but I hope we get to keep this version. It's much more functional.
Yup. I'd be psyched if it stayed like this, but I suspect it's just temporary while they add more to the mega menus.
That's what happens when you wear a helmet your whole life!

Someone broke the menus. Come on, own up, we promise not to hurt you... much.

I would prefer something in the middle. I like everything at the top and not scrolling down beyond my screen size.
But I would also like homebrew spells, for example, to be, at least also, under spells and not just general homebrew.

Glad to see the new menu back!

Really enjoy the new setup. Feels friendly and inspires creation! Great job guys.
Please at least bring back the option to use the lists.

As a DM, can we get an option for My Campaigns to at least be the same size as My Characters?
