Help! new website
Thu, 23 Feb 2006, 10:06 pmI suspect no-one is going to believe me after nearly a two year wait, but it's literally only a couple of weeks away from launching.
:-)
And I really need YOUR help to finish it!
Aside from fixing dozens of bugs that have plagued the old site for years, there is a LOT of new functionality in the new site. Inevitably this means lots of testing to be done.
So, could you please, please, please! visit the site and try the following:
*logging in, if you have an existing login and password
*registering, if you don't have an existing login and password
*edit your account and create a detailed profile
*adding and/or editing an event
*adding and/or editing a company
*post a new topic
*post a comment
*moderate a topic or comment
.... anything else you think you'd like to try!
If you're looking for ideas, check the Frequently Asked Questions about the website and look for what the various roles are capable of doing.
It may be frustrating initially, particularly if you're familiar with this site.
However, I'm not giving detailed instructions here, just tasks, as I want you to let me know whether you were able to work it out or whether I've got it completely wrong and it's just too, too hard!
Oh, the temporary address while we're testing this:
http://home.it.net.au/~gmalcolm/
Feedback please!!
Cheers
Grant
PS. Yes, I know there's no insult button yet, thou tottering boil-brained malt-worm!

Thanks very much for the feedback.
Yes! Something can be done about the colour - almost. If you login and edit your account, you'll notice that at the very bottom of the screen in your personal settings, you can select a different theme that will apply to the entire site as long as you're logged in.
Sadly, it has essentially the same colour scheme and an even more retro design than the default.
:-\
The good news is that any number of new themes can be made available, they just have to be designed. So, if you know any good web designers.... because there's ample evidence that I'm not one!!
