Author Topic: New Site Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi. WNW of Rockwall, TX but it seems much, much longer) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-03-2011 01:38 PM                        How come I don't get a slice of cherry pie that comes out of my DVD port when I log on like it used to? No cherry pie, no fun!  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-03-2011 05:39 PM                     quote: Mark J. Marshall But you don't see anything and you're kind of stuck in the "Community" category until you go to the "Forum" link at the top like you said. Or click "back" like I said.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 01-03-2011 10:10 PM                    Or if you just go into a forum under the category then all of the bread crumbs come back, but why should you have to do either of those things?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-04-2011 12:46 AM                        The Film-Tech Forums logo is right above where your "bread crumbs" would usually be. Just click it.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-04-2011 03:45 AM                        New Year.. New look... :-) Thought for a second I had typed the site in incorrectly in my browser... but alas, it is just the "digital upgrade".. LOL.. Good work fellas!  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 01-04-2011 07:59 AM                    Look, I'm not saying "Help! I'm Stuck!!!" I'm saying that the bread crumbs are currently broken when you get to a certain level. If you guys don't like the bread crumbs or the way they're supposed to work then you should probably get rid of them. Or else they should be fixed. That's all I'm going to say on it because it's silly to argue about it. I like the new design. It's a welcomed improvement! For those unfamiliar with the term "bread crumb" here's a link to the definition for you, although Wikipedia has it as one word. I've seen it used both ways.

This narrow column in a sea of blue is a waste of screen space.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-04-2011 02:12 PM                     Mark, please give me a specific example. All appears to be working here. Also are you using Firefox? If not, we throw the complaint out.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-04-2011 04:06 PM                     Firefox 3.6.13 on both Windows 7 AND Windows XP. Nothing wrong per se, but wasting lots of screen space.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-04-2011 07:47 PM                     How about if we fill those blue sides with ads, then?  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 01-04-2011 11:38 PM                     This web page is not displaying correctly on my computer, I do not understand, I have upgraded to the latest version of Mosaic.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-05-2011 07:25 PM                        I'm using Firefox here. On my machines you can press CTRL and then roll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, so it's an easy thing to make Film Tech fill the screen.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-05-2011 08:13 PM                        If you are on a Mac (which means you are an a-hole), you can zoom the entire screen no matter what browser you are using by holding CONTROL and playing with the mouse wheel. Top image is normal, bottom is zoomed in:  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 01-05-2011 08:42 PM                    When I'm in this thread, this is what I see: There are links all the way back up from where I came from, and a final entry on the line that's not a link that tells me where I am. In fact, when I'm here replying the bread crumbs go even further: The thread itself became a link and "Post A Reply" is where I am now. So as I go back up those links, if I go to the "Film-Yak" forum, I should see the link for the "Film-Tech Forum" followed by a link for "Community" and a non-link for "Film-Yak" which is what I see. If I click on "Community" then I should see a link for the "Film-Tech Forum" followed by a non-link for "Community" - but I don't see anything there. This effectively leaves you stuck there with no way to get back up without starting over with the "Forum" link at the top, or by going deeper into "Community" by selecting a forum under it. Also, just because you CAN use the browser's back button to eventually get back up, that doesn't mean the user should have to rely on that to get back where they came from. It's not the end of the world, but from a design perspective it's not right. And yes, of course I use Fire Fox!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-05-2011 09:08 PM                     The new site does not do as good a job of letting one know there is a "chat" going on. Since the side-bar is now gone...so is the chat status. Only if one is on the "home" screen does one get the status. Perhaps, it would be a good idea to have the "chat room" button change color or indicate a "chat in progress" would help annunciate the chat better. Of course, with the passing of Phil, I suspect chats will be less frequent. -Steve  |  IP: Logged
