New Design - Observations and Notes

The top line now shows your points.

Accumulated Points: 95600028

I might suggest some commas in the number for readability

Not sure if many people care, but the Widget Builder doesn't display the preview on 2 different systems I tested

Re: New Design - Observations and Notes

hmmm, above this thread my handle appears as one of the viewers, yet I'm not signed in, at least, left top it says: Sign In.

This Ulitily Bar right top says while on the Forums, Forums, maybe just to make sure we're on the forum.

And having written this in the Quick Reply box, then Preview to get the full writing screen, it still says left top "Sigh In". On the View Online Users it says: SekeRob View all online users.

Lots more typing... My Grid was nice and short... My Contributions is trice as long, then when going to MC (to keep it short) > Forums, the Sign In changed to Sign Out.

Then, when navigating to MC > Settings, I'm asked to sign in again. To be or not to be, that's the question.

Re: New Design - Observations and Notes

Pirouges stats collector software WCGDAWS doesn't seem to like the changes either.

It'd have been nice if the changes could have been previewed on a beta site e.g. beta.worldcommunitygrid.org and commented upon before it went live. It'd also give time for anything that needed fixing to happen before it went live.

I wonder why it is that the sciences are felt to need betas to iron out the bugs so contributors don't get annoyed, but WCG itself doesn't need any beta testing so contributors don't get annoyed? If that sounds harsh or ungrateful it isn't meant to be.

I really do appreciate all the WCG staff do and all the hard work they put in, it's just an observation that struck me because I was trying to log in with WCGDAWS to pull down the latest stats on the Beta units I've returned.

Re: New Design - Observations and Notes

With the stats I've been keeping for years, the WCGDAWS program was saving me massive amounts of time every day. I'm really sorry to see it not working. crying

Re: New Design - Observations and Notes

It looks that the incorrect Results Status reporting of User and Server aborts for version 7.x clients has been corrected, thanks!

There is no longer a Forums drop down list, so to access "Recent Threads" requires going to forums and then selecting "Recent Threads", or setting a bookmark. crying

Re: New Design - Observations and Notes

Unless I'm missing something there's no way to access my device profiles and settings, just the selected projects.

Also the page does not auto-correct across the screen width as the old one did, leaving it all shoved hard to the left hand side.

The old page design was fully functional and consistent with many how-to explanations across many contributors web pages. May we have it back please?
