new site layout

Author: Michael (63.175.186.---) Date:   12-09-06 10:21 I just changed the layout of the whole site - I hope most people won't notice, but if you find a bug - please let me know. From now on you will be able to: - Link directly to forum posts, bookmark them etc. - Same goes for regular pages. Some pages are not updated yest and the 'frames' will still show up - patience :) If you find new windows opening, or see the left navigation twice, stuff like that, please let me know! Thanks! Hope this is an improvement for navigability! Enjoy Culebra! Michael

Author: Debbie (---.asm.bellsouth.net) Date:   12-09-06 21:55 I'm glad to see linkage directly to a post. I can't tell you how many times I've been frustrated trying to refer someone to something previously posted, but been unable to figure out how to get a person DIRECTLY to that post. - How about live html? rather than having to use <> to have a link show up. - How about links opening in a new page, so you don't have to go back, back, back to get to where you were before you hit the link? Thanks for the improvements. Happy Diving! Debbie

Author: Michael (63.175.186.---) Date:   12-10-06 02:00 Debbie, you don't have to go back back back .. there's a little arrow next to the back button where you can jump to where you want to go IF the titles are well done and you can recognize the page. I personally don't like to brake the back button = opening a new browser window, since it (the back button) is the one single most used tool on the web! Enjoy Culebra! Michael

Author: Michael (63.175.186.---) Date:   12-10-06 02:05 Abe, which browser are you using? And where are you 'coming' from - the Spanish version I am still working on .. Enjoy Culebra! Michael

Re: new site layout

Author: Arroz (216.110.97.---) Date:   12-10-06 09:08 Michael (and indirectly Debbie) I am using IE 7 and the English version. It has several things I don't like but one which I do like (and which they "borrowed" from Firefox) is the ability to open a new tab instead of a new window. Before the Forum revisions I could not do that - if I right clicked and indicated "Open in new tab" I would just get the same window a second time, i.e., the list of posts. With the revisions I can now see an individual posting in a new tab. BTW, this morning (Sunday 10:10) I no longer seem to be getting the double left column. Abe

Author: Michael (63.175.186.---) Date:   12-10-06 09:13 Abe, I am so glad you said that about links. I hate when a website is dictating my open windows, since I exclusively use tabbed browsing and if I want something open in a new window or tab, I do it myself, thank you very much .. (I must admit I am guilty myself and still have places in my sites where I open new windows, but am working on delimiting them) Enjoy Culebra! Michael

Re: new site layout

Author: Debbie (---.asm.bellsouth.net) Date:   12-10-06 10:44 I guess what I meant about the new window links is that I don' t like the links opening in a smaller window within this site. For me (on a Safari browser), I used to get a very small window within the greater blue section of this website. Hard to read, and harder to navigate. Safari supports tabbed browsing; I know how to open in a new tab/window, but I don't always take the time to do so. Putting a link here to see what happens now. <http://web.mac.com/debalew/iWeb/Scuba/Culebra%20Jan%202006.html> Happy Diving! Debbie

Author: Michael (63.175.186.---) Date:   12-10-06 10:55 Debbie, links only work without special characters - sorry. I went into it once and it's a minor nightmare to find out all the characters people now use for URLs .. next time try to make the URL without spaces and it will work just fine :) http://mivido.com/culebra-dakity.php Enjoy Culebra!

Author: Debbie (---.asm.bellsouth.net) Date:   12-10-06 14:07 I don't have any control over the naming convention of URLs on my website - once I publish to .mac, everything else is done in the background. Happy Diving! Debbie

Re: new site layout

Author: Michael (63.175.186.---) Date:   12-11-06 14:34 you can put a hyphen or other 'standard' character in the titles, or whatever gets used to create the URL.

Author: Arroz (72.22.139.---) Date:   12-14-06 13:32 Hi Michael, When I first visit the site I'm still getting the left hand column twice. If I click on "Forum" in the left had column, the second column disappears. It doesn't show up again until I visit the site again. Abe

Author: Michael (63.175.186.---) Date:   12-14-06 15:28 Abe - do you have a bookmark, that has a kind of 'weird' URL? - that might be it. Thanks for your feedback Enjoy Culebra! Michael
