Thanks Raj. Guess I should have thought to look at the footer!

There is a text menu at the very bottom of every page. There’s a link there to Perf Metrics.

Unless I’m missing it, there is no easy way to access Metrics now. I finally tried adding /metrics to the homepage URL. Fortunately it worked!

I know I should have my metrics page bookmarked, but I usually come to the homepage first and then check my stats. Where have you hidden the link? It used to be in the user panel and the top menu but I can’t see it there now.

So if we have a member blog, we need to go on and copy and save our entries, no? I assume y’all will be deleting them?

Also, the titlebar is a mess at 800×600 resolution. My big monitor burned-out and I am using a smaller one, so I switched res to avoid headaches and at the lower res, all the titles are jumbled one on the other.

Just a quick note: I know we’re missing a couple of key items being linked now. I’ll get this sorted first thing in the morning, we had to roll some code to fix a small but a little earlier than expected adn got caught with a half done nav

sorry for any confusion, it’ll be fixed shortly.

Oh right, no. Im talking about our products…

By: Raj Dash

Raj Dash — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 10:15:15 +0000

Well, I have no clue what you mean by “company/product” blogging. Not critical that you explain; just curious. Are you talking about company profiles and product reviews?

Im not sure how much more i could elaborate, what would you like to know?

By: Raj Dash

Raj Dash — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 06:36:03 +0000

the homepage from now on will be 99% company/product blogging

Care to elaborate, Nick? Or is this a secret

I got the theme working fine in Firefox 2, Safari, and Opera.

Nav is playing nicely in Safari now. Can someone confirm it’s good to go in Opera?

@Anni – Firefox is usually pretty good with images – it’s just not so good with CSS files

I like the brighter colour on the header, but I don’t remember the comment boxes being so stark. I’d be interested to see how your design changes pan out, because I’ve always been concerned that your Drupal system is a bit confusing as to where the main content is!

so my browser is being lazy and ignoring the “no cache”, Firefox and I will have a serious talk!

If anyone is seeing the performancing logo with scattered pixels around it on top of a light blue background, just refresh your browser. That is happening because the images in the nav have changed, but their file names haven’t, so the browser is serving up the cached (old) graphics.

Thanks for the heads-up Anni

No, the banner has changed again. The one I was commenting on earlier had the logo against a light-blue background, and it looked as if someone had tried to clear a white background on the logo, but not done a very good job, so there was white pixels scattered about the Performancing bit of the logo. But nevermind, it’s not there anymore, must have caught it in between changes. and no I haven’t been drinking!

Anni what are these rogue white pixels of which you speak?

I’m assuming you mean the 1 pixel stroke around the “p” which is there to make the drop-shadow more defined?

It’s the same effect which is applied to the speech bubble in the “Earn” graphic below the nav…

Ah, but I should say that it all sounds wonderful and exciting.

By: DianeV

DianeV — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 03:42:57 +0000

I’d been wondering. There are also display issues in Opera (top menu is jammed to the left over the tagline) and FireFox (logo/top menu bar are about 300 pixels below the top menu). CSS fun, eh?

The top menu system is spazzed in Safari

By: travel cooler

travel cooler — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 03:17:25 +0000

In my humble opinion your planned direction makes perfect sense.

Just one small “critique” of your new logo at the top. It needs to be cleaned up, it has rogue white pixels everywhere. (yes I’m a nerd about these things).
