Patchday II

Hi There!

I'll be applying various updates to the software running this site today. Don't panic if the site goes down for a minute or two, it's all under control :)

Cheers!
Paul.

New site needs page with podcast links

ext237's picture
Anyone know where the rss xml feed can be found for Ancestor? I found the podshow page, but it only provides hyperlinks to download individual files. It seems like each book has a different way to download the files. There should be a page that lists the location of all of the XML feeds for those of us who aren't addicted to iTunes for podcasts. This is pretty easy to do in Drupal, let me know if you need help.

Podiobooks.com

Don't forget that Podiobooks.com also has the feeds. Ancestor can be found on this page. ___________________ $DO || ! $DO ; try try: command not found

ya know we love ya fantastic work on the site (and thanks for the links and help with coding) but, the color could ya mute it a bit?? the brightness bothers the voices sensibilities doesn't need to be as dark as the previous incarnation, but a little darker..... okok but the look and navigation and menus..........OUTSTANDING * Murder at Avedon Hill - http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/ * Numbers are the keys that unlock the universe...

The light hurts my eye's!

You two spend too much time in the dark

SynapticJam's picture
I suppose it could be a little bit darker, but not too much... It's legible without highlighting... I like that. Do what you must, I trust you. Unlike our dark overlord (sometimes).... This missive brought to you by SynapticJam - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken

not dark, just not so bright

treed's picture
a light grey instead of BRIGHT WHITE the comment boxes are fine, its the page background that's too bright * Murder at Avedon Hill - http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/ * Numbers are the keys that unlock the universe...

Is it the right "feel"?

ext237's picture
Seems like for a Sci-fi/horror novelist, the mood would be more dark and creepy. Nothing wrong with a dark background as long as the text is a bright enough color that it can be read.

Excellent point

SynapticJam's picture
I just hated having to drag my mouse across text to read it... drove me nuts. This missive brought to you by SynapticJam - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken

just the webpage background

the boxes are fine just TOO MUCH BRIGHT WHITE * Murder at Avedon Hill - http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/ * Numbers are the keys that unlock the universe...

It looks so much better the new layout. Yes, I am an agent of satan but my duties are largely ceremonial.

New Theme

pulsar's picture

Ok, this time I have tested it with IE7, IE6, Safari for Windows and the Firefox 2.something. After rebuilding the 3 pane layout from the scratch (because of the crappy IE6 rendering engine) all looks good again.

Let me know if you notice something ugly. Don't forget to include a screenshot please.

Cheers!
Paul.


New Layout

pulsar's picture

[img_assist|nid=960|title=New Layout|desc=|link=node|align=right|width=100|height=90]Hey There,

Sorry for the mess with the side boxes. We were working on a new default theme for scottsigler.com this weekend. After I've installed it on the server the sideblocks got messed up for the old default theme. The new one is almost finished but right now I have to fix an ie6 issue before we can make the switch.

For the brave one - head over to "My Profile", switch to the Edit-Mode and pick "scottsigler" as your default theme.

I'll try to sort things out within the next 48 hours.

Cheers!
Paul.


Thank God!

It'll be so nice to actually be able to read everything on the screen without having to highlight it with a mouse... This missive brought to you by SynapticJam - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken

Like before, whatever it takes, oh great Tech God......

ogreoregon's picture
I liked that live thingy,( notice the savy tech talk), over on Yahoo, it was really interesting. fun to stop by and see what was happening. *** I am Renfield to Sigler's Dracula ***

ya, i did that too

treed's picture
just couldn't access the chat part of that page * Murder at Avedon Hill - http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/ * Numbers are the keys that unlock the universe...

not really an issue, more an.. Inconvenience..

freakazoid101's picture
Am i blind or has the side menu saying Forum, irc, my inbox etc disappeared? It was just really handy and i can't seem to find it. *~* My thoughts this week: Waiting is an essential part of junkie life. I was a hamster with a bazooka in a past life. Don't doubt me. I own 3 swords... Which I sharpen regularly, and I know how to use.

In my case...

When using IE, I see the upcoming events as black on an almost black background... have to mouse over and highlight just to read it... This missive brought to you by SynapticJam - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken

YEAH, i noticed that

treed's picture
same in foxfire and the stuff that is missing in IE is there in foxfire the sigler community links to your profile, account, crack hits, etc * Murder at Avedon Hill - http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/ * Numbers are the keys that unlock the universe...

most of that is in the pull downs

treed's picture
if you get a private message, click private message in the white box to get there as for as your own profile, click on your screen name in any comment box you have made damn irritating though, liked it better in it's own little area there easy to access * Murder at Avedon Hill - http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/ * Numbers are the keys that unlock the universe...

exactly. The inconvenience of it all.

Layout Issues

pulsar's picture

Please send me (pulsar@highteq.net) screenshots among a short description of the browser version you use. I'll try to fix all issues later today then.

Cheers!
Paul.


By the time I saw this post

SynapticJam's picture
You'd already fixed it all up. Nice work my friend... We owe you a debt of gratitude... Be strong.... This missive brought to you by SynapticJam - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken

It works

The Flawed's picture
it working except for the dead ends my opinion is that it needs less white and more black and red

yeppers...

SynapticJam's picture
Looks alright in Firefox... lost the background image though... It's all white... but IE is all kinds of messed up... lost it's mind in the paging. All elements are totally left justified... One long stream... about 20 characters wide... images overlayed over text too... This missive brought to you by SynapticJam - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken

Same procedure as every year - let me know if you notice something odd. Give crack hits still does not work - despite the module update. Sorry :(

Cheers!
