There are add-ons for FF that will help, but even so it's more effort than most people can be bothered with for areas they don't spend much time in.  

For the front page the colours aren't really the problem, for that it's the content and layout.
The situation for the RMP is similar, but the colours will have some effect, the consequences of which the merchants will bear.

"Hi Stacey

I notice a little thing in the Gallery, where the page numbers are, there is no maker anymore to what page you are on. Kind of makes it hard when your going though the pages not knowing what page you are on when you want to go to the next page.
Kim"

I agree with Kim.  It is nearly impossible to tell what page you are on.  The slightly lighter colored font is not enough when it is being displayed over a gradiant background.

Has anyone written a hack, similar to those the last change prompted, to change that distractive blue background to a more muted tone? 

Blue is fine in the forum pages and home page but please consider that a person walking into a real world gallery would never see bright blue walls behind displayed art.  It tricks the eyes and makes color discernment within the image very unfair to the art.

Programmers need to be aware of color wheel basics better, imho.

Stacey,

I have a question.  Did the programmers talk to any artists before they made the decision to change these colors?  Honestly, I'm just curious. lol (:

If they didn't, they should have.

The beta site was shown to vendors first before we released the beta link to the general membership.

Oh good.  I don't suppose we could just change the parts where the vendors are! roflmao!  I'm kidding!  Couldn't help myself.  The devil made me say it.(snicker)

i see these all the time :

MySQL error: Duplicate entry '2221695-687978' for key 2, occured in query: "INSERT INTO gallery_view SET section_id = 8, image_id = 2221695, artist_id = 199333, user_id = 687978, count = 1, full = 'N', date_first = now(), date_last = now();".

Chris

Thanks I'll pass this on

it seems to be going very slow since the change.I like the new look but it takes a long time to browse the galleries

Thanks for the feedback Richard,  I will alert the techs so we can see what is going on with speed

The width of the table cell that contains the user avatar, and some other user info, seems to have changed to a ridiculous width of about 273 pixels (viewed in FireFox at 1024x768 screen res).

Sometime when I click a link to open a thread or go to another page in a thread I'm reading, It just sits there "Waiting on Renderosity".

Les, I just contacted the programmer about this issue.

This is a link.

Before the changes, a link like the above would have been underlined, which is a standard HTML way to make it obvious that it is a link. Since the changes, links are no longer underlined. In my opinion this is bad praxis an can create unnecessary confusion.

dunno if this is a bug or not but in the past I could use a bookmark to go to rendo forums page and be logged in magically. Now it doesnt do that , and when I do log in I get the home page, not the forum page I was at.  Thats 1 extra click after logging in , so two clicks (TWO) that I now have to deal with.

I'll check on this Monday Mark and I'll also see about the link thing Les

Regarding what Les is talking about, you can see this in the galleries, when someone links to a product they used.  Only the vendor's name is underlined like it is clickable, the product itself looks as if we can not click to go to the product.  I didnt no try clicking it however because it was not underlined.  I should go try that to see.

may be my imagination but posts does not seem very clear/focus unless full screen is selected

the link for email, will it flash as it did before when you have new mail?

Yes. It's now at the top right of the page.

This front page announcement is not working

Policy Change now live for Renderosity Vendor advertising Galleries

Gives a error that : only Coordinators can participate in this forum.

AND after you get back to the MAIN page the announcement is gone like it should but the member saw nothing..

Chris 

BTW and this is not a BUG but a TIP !

Make a LINK turn RED in post by default .. that way we can spot SPAM post more easy ..

Now they are white but a bit bold.. so they sneak in easy ..

There is a lot of strange links in post these days... so.. 

Kill Spam make em RED

"who still does not like the blue's"

If the timers for changing the main banner and the article section has been recently adjusted, then it now far too fast, i.e the switches between items are too frequent.

Regarding the left hand table cell width. After my post pointing out that it was too wide, the width of this cell has decreased from about 273 to about 223 pixels. Are the programmers blind? I'm not certain but I though the maximum avatar width was 130 pixels. So why is the cell taking up so much realestate that could be better used for the posts? Surely a cell width of the maximum avatar width plus 10 pixels would be adequate! If the maximum avatar is 130, then the cell width could be 140 pixels, this would also allow a user name of 18 characters without wrapping, which is surely enough. Even if the maximum avatar was 150, that would only need a cell of 160 pixels.

Probably not, but they are something else when it comes to HTML layout and use of CSS.

Well the cell is sytled with a width of 150 pixels.  

The problem is that for some reason (which I haven't completely figured out yet) FF is expanding that cell.
It would appear to be something to do with the message cell not being wide enough.
I had to set it's width to 90% in my stylesheet to stop the avatar cell growing beyond what's necessary, as no variation of sizing the avatar cell itself would work.

Has anyone posted any codes to set up the colors the way they want someplace at the site?  Will they work or have the programmers overrode them all with their new programming?

No, they work. Check the CSS forum.

Sorry Chris that was an error on my part as I didn't select the correct role.  This was a thread discussion for team members

I don't think they've been adjusted but I'll check with the person that does the front page when I get in the office on Monday morning

Thanks

When the page loads everything is ok, but as soon as I hover the top navigation or the "What's hot today" sidebar the height (length) of the page goes infinite.

I'll pass this on to the techs on Monday morning

Thanks

Are you using FF or another browser? The techs are aware of this as it has been reported and they are looking into it

Thanks

Does not keep logged in.

Nice looking but like the old site better

Stacey did you even look at the SS's you requested? I still have the same issues. And if RO was not aware of this, there is big gaps of space between every section.... really a pain to scroll halfway down to the bottom to hit 'post reply'.

The gadgets on the right (calendar, etc) are overlapping the item list in Account ! Item List.

You cannot seen anymore what has been updated

Also the download links are not set to "visited" when you download an item from your account page.

It did on the old site and was very convenient to see what you already downloaded. Now you cannot.

Not sure is Bug or not but I log in then go to another Website and return I have to relog in ,same sort of thing  happens when I sign off of browser,used to be that I  would stay logged in till I physically logged out .

What is this site getting from ajax.googleapis.com ?  my browser just started spitting out alerts about this site as a security problem and I have allowed it to block the site. I dont know if thats going to allow renderosity site to run or not.

There are two other sites as well but they seem to be advertising sources. The ajax.googleapis.com seems to be loading scripts :(

Are you using FF or another browser?

FireFox v3.6.18

Everything seems to work fine for me and I've gotten used to the color change. I go to so many sites that different looks stopped bothering me ages ago, unless they are just too awful to take, which this certainly is not.

I'm having more or less the same issue as lesgraham, though, in that I keep getting signed off. usually after just a few minutes of no clicking, i.e., as little as 5-7 minutes, but seems to be more around 8-10 (I know, big difference). I use tabs a lot, so jumping from site to site doesn't "take me away" from Rosity per se, but this is kind of annoying, having to continuously re-log in.

I'm on Win 7 Pro, Firefox latest and find no provisions in My Profile to effect a change to "stay logged on". This issue did not exist for me before the new change.

And . . . I can live with it, LOL!

But now you know.

Thanks.

I found the "keep me logged in " option but its in the Login panel and I am not sure how I got to it.

~A~

okay the font size problem when typing in this reply box has been fixed but you need to make sure you clear your cache.

Also the item list issue is being worked on and will be resolved by later today.

Okay, I've been looking for it but concluded it didn't exist!

Where, exactly does it lie?  Thanks in advance.

(Of course, asking just means I'll find it before getting an answer, LOL!)

I think the "Keep Me Logged In" checkbox is on the login form. Log out and log back in and you should see it.
