NEW WEBSITE COMING!

[Doc B]

There is indeed some issue there. Try refreshing, that seems to work on my iPad.

Don't know if this has been reported (didn't read the whole thread) but Valve archives are mia.

 

[Doc B]

Thanks. I have that archive and I will get it back up on the site soon.

Nice job, Doc and all! I'm always nervous when people say they're launching a new site as more than often it means either I can't use it anymore or, it is much more cumbersome to use. In this case the new site "looks and feels"pretty much identical to the old one from the point of a screen reader user.

Thanks much to you and your web guys!

Great Jim, glad it is working for you. The forum should be pretty much unchanged and if anything the web site should be more consistent for the screen reader.

It looks like sticky note called Paramount 1.1 Voltages  needs to be fixed after website upgrade.

Also, is there any way to zoom-in main BH web site somehow (not the forum site) while reading on tablet or cell phone? Before upgrade that was possible. I dbl. checked my browser settings to make sure that I use 'desktop' mode and even tried different browser but with no luck.
It's really helpful if you can zoom-in text when reading on small, portable device.

Bump ???

 

[Doc B]

I don't think the zoom feature is available, as the site has been designed to scale for each kind of screen. I'm suspect it has to be set up one way or the other.

 

[Doc B]

We are having a few stability issues, that are being addressed. So if the site is down please try again in a little while.

 

[Yoder]

The site looks fantastic. It is much cleaner looking, easy to navigate, and well organized. In the old site I especially dis-liked the fact that the text was centered which made it harder to read. All in all, well done.

 

[galyons]

I realize that this was mentioned very early on, but the "Mark All Messages Read" still doesn't work.  It generates this error message:


  Bottlehead Forum

An Error Has Occurred!
Unable to verify referring url. Please go back and try again.
Back

To clear the  "Show unread posts", I have to open each one.

My system config: PC=>Windows 8.1  ! => Firefox

Otherwise really liking everything.  I may have missed it, but I still don't see a direct link to the BH home page.

Cheers,
Geary

Some of these smaller issues may take a little while to get to. We are going to move to more stable hosting and then we will get back to the forum fixes.

Are we to assume that the Paramount + BeePre package deal is no more? Cus damn, I was saving up for that one.

 

[Molly]

Nice site!  Congrats to everyone on a big effort.

Very nice!  Where's the buy button for the bottlehead DAC? 

I know, I know.  It will be ready when it is ready.

You should sail across the sound and come have a listen?

I think I will!

One odd thing, I don't know if you can fix it, the tab on my browser no longer has a Bottlehead badge on it.  There is a dashed box that is empty.

Just asking!

Thats the favicon.ico file i mentioned, part of the missing images issue.

A Ha, I got it now.  I'm not much with computers.

When I load the forum login page my Firefox "NoScript" plugin reports that it wants to run scripts from 198.101.157.109.  This seems a bit hinkey, is it part of the login programming?
Also, the Firefox feature for remembering login names and passwords does not recognise the "Username" and "Password" fields as such, and so does not pre-fill them as normal.  I have to manually enter these values each time.  Is this related to the script on 198.101.157.109?
If 198.101.157.109 is genuinely part of the Bottlehead site, then I suppose I could add it to NoScript's white-list.  However, all other websites and forums I deal with do not have this quirk.

These are not major issues for me but may highlight things for your web developer to look into.
