On my custom Google
July 17, 2007 - 12:10 ET by S POn my custom Google homepage, it looks like the "NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias" feed ( http://newsbusters.org/ ) is dead (no updates since last night, ie "MSM Mum while blogosphere boils") whereas the "NewsBusters.org blog" feed ( http://newsbusters.org/blog ) is still running. Those two feeds are somewhat redundant, but I liked the content on the main site a bit more than the "blog" feed so that's the one I had displayed. Intentional or not, looks like that first one is dead at the moment. :-/

July 17, 2007 - 12:47 ET by NetizenCainNo problems like that with Firefox 2.0. But with so many people having widescreen or even monitors larger than 13", perhaps there's just too much whitespace on NB.com? Need scalable margins that adjust to larger screen sizes. At full screen, NB takes up just 1/2 of my screen. Arg!

Perceived bugs on new site.
July 17, 2007 - 12:41 ET by Dave RMatthew,
As I mentioned on the OT, the stray comment problem I was having earlier seems to have worked itself out.
As far as FF (my prefferred browser for NB) goes, the site seems to work just fine.
However, I have had problems in IE-7 regenerating the current page and moving to other pages. On six occasions I have clicked on the "blogs" button and three times was sent the the Drubal loading page, and the other three times that same operation blew me off the site completely. Also, I can copy and paste from anywhere except the rich text editor.

LOL-Actually, I mistyped. Drupal is the support software Matthew uses for the site itself. I freaked the first time, because when I first logged in this morning and hit the button, that was where I wound up.
It has happened to me several times, but only in IE-7. Haven't had it happen in FF as yet.

July 17, 2007 - 13:29 ET by motherbeltWhen I type in the comment box, the font is really tiny...I mean REALLY tiny....I'm guessing 6 point....there is no option for that, only bold and Italic. Can anything be done to remedy that? When it posts, the font is fine.

July 17, 2007 - 13:32 ET by Mean Gene Dr. LoveMaybe it's because you're still trying to incrementally get everything up and running and operational, but the Forums page tells me I cannot post a new Forum Topic. I don't need to post one now, but I do post them from time to time. Just want to make sure I have the option when I need it.
And like others have said, the layout is too narrow. I miss the optional layout that was in the old setup...it would be nice to have that option again.

July 17, 2007 - 13:50 ET by dscottOn the "Recent posts" feature, which btw is very excellent, can you have the default tab to "my recent posts" instead of "all recent posts". You may find people clicking less this way and thus free up some server processing. I really like this feature as it saves me lots of time scrolling pages to see who posted on a thread that I am interested.

Leon's New Issues
July 17, 2007 - 17:00 ET by LeonMatthew,
1) How can I change the font alignment? I'm stuck in center & there doesn't appear to be any other available option. (although it looks like it may only be aligned center when I'm writing, not when I actually post the comment)
2) The threads are way too busy in my opinion. I think you should eliminate the borders around postings (not sure what purpose they serve but to distract my eyes) & I think you should restrict the photos to the person's profile. I don't need to see a picture of somebody's grill piece every time they post. It muddles the thread and makes it difficult to focus on the actual content. Call me old fashioned, but I thought the old format was just fine. The system just needed some fine tuning, not a design overhaul.
Leon, although we normally
July 17, 2007 - 17:05 ET by vrwc13Leon, although we normally agree, I think the pictures are great for finding posts/posters. Wouldn't you agree?

LOL-Betty Boop?
I love it!
Actually, everything seems to be okay for me now, but I'm staying out of IE-7, as I think my overkill security software may be causing the problems I was having. I got hit with a nasty virus last week through that hideous browser, and it took a little time to get rid of it.
Ironically, it was a free scan available on the net that actually got rid of it, as my usually reliable virus protection failed miserably.

Didn't get it, and I cannot create content in the Forums, either, but other than that, things are working pretty well.
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your setup, though. Matt & Noel's suggestion to use FF should help a great deal. I have had to reinstall IE-7 four times in the last couple of weeks, plus the virus I got hit with really wreaked havoc with it. For some reason, it never affected FF.
They should re-name IE to Virus Magnet.

July 18, 2007 - 02:13 ET by BritcomFirst, don't move, you'll scare it and it will fly up and get tangled in your hair, (assuming that you have some) and that will freak you out.
Second, slooooowly reach for that old copy of US News that you haven't thrown out yet, and roll it up tightly.
Third, all of a sudden give it a good WHACK!! as it runs across your computer screen. Then run outside while screaming and try to shake it loose from your hair because you missed it.
Thats what my ex used to do. :)

Like some others,
July 17, 2007 - 20:35 ET by m4ster chiefLike some others, everything is off my screen to the right; every time I open the site, click on an article, etc., I have to slooooowly scroll back. I'll do this for awhile but then I'll tire of it and just leave. Why the heck are those huge ads there anyway...does anybody really look at them? (I know, I know...they are why the site is free.) Also, I'm with the posters below who say the new screen is too "busy;" my eyes aren't drawn to one point, but wander around. I like the old format better...AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M OLD AND CRANKY AND SET IN MY WAYS. I'm actually a very nice man...when I'm on my meds and can find my spectacles.
Changes
July 17, 2007 - 21:27 ET by steve2526The changes look good-- but why does clicking on the back button take me to the top of the home page?

Thanks, JR... that works
July 18, 2007 - 05:33 ET by BricklayerStill getting used to the new format, but I appreciate the improvements, e.g. avatars.
Some of my thoughts:
1) More HTML or bbcode options, such as offered in phpbb or vbulletin, would be greatly appreciated, but that would probably require a major revamp, so...
2) Ability to add comments through the original blog page (without having to link out, then back in) would be nice. For example, when you click the "reply" button, it could dynamically create the Comment box on the page, and you could edit and submit your reply right there.
3) Not sure if the default subject line is needed.
4) I guess formatting all depends on how you want to organize the information. I find it a bit hard to find the name of the user who posted each comment (the username font is much smaller than the subject font). Avatars help with this.
4a) I don't necessarily like the way comments start to the right of the avatar (sometimes), and wrap to the left margin on the next line. It's a bit disconcerting, particularly when people often like to start their posts with a very short first line, sometimes just the name of the person they're responding to.
5) The boxes/frames around every other comment can make it appear that non-boxed comments are responses to boxed comments, when actually they are at the same level.
6) As I'm concluding this comment, I'm already starting to get used to the way the names are placed in each comment... I suppose what once seemed "messy" is now beginning to be pre-processed by my brain, so now things don't seem quite so bad.
7) Smaller, cleaner font would be appreciated in the comments. Not sure if this is definable in our user settings?
Edit:
8) It would be nice to have boxes/frames around all of the comments. Otherwise, the unboxed comments look unorganized.
