There’s about a million things wrong with the “New & Improved” LISNews. At this point all I can say is I have a list, it’s growing, and I’ll get things fixed when I can. BUT, please feel free to add to my list below; I’ll get your bug fixed right away if it’s important, and sooner or later if it’s not.

Re:RSS Feed
Thanks, many of the feeds are going to be a bit messy for a bit.
Not quite a bug…
more of a comment. I like the new color scheme.
When the bugs have flown
I can see that it will look nice. Much cleaner and nice colors. At the moment, I get no Discussion list, which was a favorite feature because it listed both stories and journal entries and I could select. The FAQ isn’t working. Journals list only my “friends” which is a pretty short list! Also, the e-mail address for LISNews to which I sent a long list, bounced.
Re:When the bugs have flown
Discussion list is on my list, so is FAQ and the other pages like that. I think I fixed the journals list link now, and the email should work now as well, assuming you sent it to blake at lisnews the org domain, but the com domain works as well.
Thanks!
Re:Not quite a bug…
Thanks, I still can’t decide if we should keep it or go back to orange.
RSS Problems
all the <link>s in the RSS feed point to lisnews.com and not lisnews.org. And also, the story <link>s don’t actually point to the story. they are all “http://www.lisnews.com/article.pl?sid=”.
also, don’t go back to orange! i like these colors more.
Re:RSS Problems
oh damn it. Thanks, I missed that one it was so obvious.
1.5 cheers for the colors
Overall, I like the new aesthetic, and I prefer the maroon to the old orange.
I’m not so wild about the dark gray background for comments; reduced contrast for text is rarely wonderful. But I can live with it.
THANKS!
For fixing the rolling journals box!
And for being so patient with our whining!
as long as there’s no spiders…
…I won’t run screaming from the room!
I still don’t get anything on the discussions page nor is the faq page there for me. I do get the journals page correctly now.
One thing I’ve noticed: if I go to http://www.lisnews.org/ –every time I load the page it wants me to log in…but if I click on journals or messages, when it takes me to that page, I AM logged in (even if I don’t log in on the main page. Now, if I go to http://lisnews.org/ I’m shown as being logged in on the main page. Probably not a big issue in the long run (LISNews is my homepage at work and I just set it to http://lisnews.org./ I don’t know if the fact I use Opera is making a difference or not.

Re:1.5 cheers for the colors
Agreed on the maroon, its very nice. Also you raise a point on the Grey background. While nice it could have some contrast issues. All in all, I like the idea of a “new look” for the site. When I do a major site redesign I like to mix things up a bit with colors. New site, new colors. This site here from wickline.org allows users to simulate different colorblindness issues for legibility.
Re:as long as there’s no spiders…
Yeah, I’m seeing some cookie issues too, I’m not sure what’s going on. I reset a few cookiw things, I’m hoping that’ll fix it.
Colours
Why not do a poll on the front page? New colors/old colors/doesn’t matter could be the choices…maybe let it run for a week.
Just a thought.

problem commenting on story
I just tried to reply to the news item “Books by kids to coarse for kids”. When I went in and clicked the reply button, I got this page telling me I’m not subscribed and/or that I’m trying to access a discussion scheduled for the future, instead of the “post comment” box.
I was logged in and I’m not getting it with any other article I’ve tried to post to.

time problem??
It’s working now. But I just noticed something, it says I posted my previous comment at 4:13pm on Sat. It was closer to 10:30 (Atlantic Standard time). I just looked at the story I was trying to comment on and it was posted at 7:36 pm. Perhaps this is the issue? Journal posting time is as it usually is.
Seems like it’s a time issue. I’m posting this comment at 8:30 am AST…I
just previewed this and it says I’m posting it at 2:30 am.
