[08:27] <@djpretzel> hmm [08:28] <@djpretzel> www.ocremix.org now redirects to ocremix.org, instead of vice versa [08:28] <@djpretzel> remix list now groups by game [08:28] <@djpretzel> general remix list reformatting [08:29] <@djpretzel> data tables now have certain links deemphasized w/ gray to help reduce clutter/ambiguity about what the list is presenting [08:29] <@djpretzel> sidebar has been removed from all major list pages and quicksearch [08:31] <Shariq> alas, poor sidebar [08:31] <@djpretzel> all major list pages and quicksearch now centered and set for max-width=1300px to prevent columns from getting too far apart In general, these are gradual changes, and other pages will follow suit as time allows. You may need to clear your cache, and certain pages may remain cached server-side for several hours before refreshing. Quote
Level 99 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Well, if you had to be sleep-deprived, you were, at least productive. As always, thanks for the improvements. Also, may want to change the www.ocremix.org in your sig to reflect the redirect. Thanks again, Dave! Quote
KyleJCrb Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Changing the URL broke all of Rama's custom userstyles. My eyes, they burn from the white! EDIT: Fixed. Quote

SoulinEther Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Whoa, way nicer. The lists look much more presentable, but the pages are a little jarring without the sidebar - I think it is just a matter of acclimation, and if you're taking out the sidebar on the main site pages, then it'll probably appear more cohesive. About those lists: the orange row highlighting looks nice, but in Chrome and Firefox, when one game has more than one remix associated with it (as in FFVII on the Newest remix list), the game name column is only highlighted when you hover over the first remix associated with it. Considering it's present in both of those browsers, I'm sure you're aware of it. Is that stylistic, or something needing to be ironed out? Quote
Gollgagh Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 08:28] <@djpretzel> remix list now groups by game this is most excellent I love it Quote
Platonist Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 yes! it looks great, as long as you don't sort the lists in release order. because they are no longer in release order when they group like that. what's the point in having a release order list if it's not in release order? this is my only opinion/complaint. the rest is nice, very nice Quote

Also, a pretty significant design revision is now imminent... it will be more dramatic, so I'll probably create another thread for it and ice this one. Quote
Subz1987 Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Interesting changes. I'm guessing you're still rolling them out, because it keeps changing. However, I do have one complaint about the music page. I don't know if you plan on implementing it, but I miss being able to click on a letter and seeing remixes from games that begin with that letter. Hope you put that back in. Same thing with the artists list. Quote
Conrose Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Does that include the removal of the letters at the top that linked to alpha lists of games? Quote
neminem Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Hahaha... the sidebar. I never really cared one way or the other, but if I say it sucked, will you ban me? I totally missed out on that, back when I was active here. Also, that's an awesome site, Xerol. Quote
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I'm going to add the sidebar to my sig. Quote
FireSlash Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Out of random curiousity, why kill the www. domain? Is there some kind of deep dark SEO reason, or was it just a stylistic change? Quote
djpretzel Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 Out of random curiousity, why kill the www. domain? Is there some kind of deep dark SEO reason, or was it just a stylistic change? No deep dark SEO, just shorter printed URLs & bookmarks... that simple. Although, I'm also finding the URL more legible now, personally, when I'm switching between windows... Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Since we're asking, how come I never get to see "Welcome, meteo xavier., private messages:" on the home page, even after the redesign? I just wondered if there was a reason behind it. Quote
Gollgagh Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 because the main site isn't part of the forums and when you login, you login to the forums, and not the main site Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 That's fine, I was just wondering why. Quote
