Re: New Website - Fixes needed, omissions, suggestions, ...

paulch2

That’s odd. I can change the number of results per page on my tablet. There’s an Items per page box at the bottom left of the page, under the final result name. What sort of tablet/browser are you using?

Re: New Website - Fixes needed, omissions, suggestions, ...

Any reason why in the homepage the Forum button has been moved to the bottom of the website?
I would expect to find it on the topbar, at least under the Community section. Instead I had to scroll down, down to the center of the Earth to find it.

And to fix: in the login page move the "Forgot password" link to the bottom, it is weird having it between the email and the password spaces.

This is exactly where I expected it to be. The forums are the primary channel for social interaction and detailed dissemination of information among the WCG community.

It deserves to be at the top.

Re: New Website - Fixes needed, omissions, suggestions, ...

Ditto here about the forum link. Did no one think of this?

I use to login every day to get a screenshot of the overview page where everything I wanted to know was. It was part of my morning like my cup of coffee. No more! There is nothing there of interest to me. It's "cool", trendy, fresh, and pretty but not functional. Oh did I mention? too much white space for the little info it gives.

Hence I changed my bookmark to the forums page and, unless there is something I want to comment on like now, there is no need to login then scroll to the bottom the page.

So I will now login every 12-14 days to get my stats and update my own spreadsheet.

Also missed:

"Community" at the bottom is not bold-faced like the other topic headings...

"Community" is a link like other entries, not a heading.
Looks out of place but correct if following that pattern.

Unfortunately, it looks like we can wish for things as long as we want, but no one cares right now because they want to focus on operations first.

Community is not the focus, see here

Yeah, I got the same impression. They don't seem to care at all about our opinions or preferences, only about our cycles.

I understand those sentiments and share some of them but isn't that what we (our computers) are here for? Cycles.
Your may not like the colour of this and that badge or whatever but your computer(s) couldn't care less.
Well mine don't. I asked them.

In the last few days the menu item from the account icon in the top right hand corner for 'profile and settings' has linked to 'https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewNewsPreference.action'. The same is true for the settings link at the bottom of every page.
