See the old template again

Postby Deleted User » Mon Jan 28, 2013 7:45 am

Josh and Chad love playing around but there are so many small mistakes in this template that I would love to go back to the old one :cry:
I might be the only one so Josh ... can you please write me an old-style template again :oops:

The changes seem to have done in a quick way with trying to keep the whole old style in place and just replacing it by fancy gradients and fancy boxes.

This is still an old-style website, when you open it on a smartphone it is just one crap website ... Why has there not been chosen for HTML5 which is almost out? (still beta i think)

That is actually what Matt is working on right now. A special SP template just for Stef.

Everything else is on hold until you sign off.

If you make a list of them, with URLs to the pages and a clear description of the problem, they will get fixed.

Not true. Lots of changes to the HTML occurred too, not just CSS. But we intentionally didn't move things around because we didn't feel that was needed. The layout of SP is actually fairly good already. We just wanted to make it easier to read and find your way around on a page, while also making it look more like something that was done within the last decade.

I vote that you & Josh create a "Shut the hell up" button...for others' benefit.

Great work.

Because of compatibility issues, I decided to make him an entire website: http://www.alpinestef.com/ :wink:
But in all seriousness I'm trying to make the new SP as flawless as possible. Even the frontpage has a few small glitches in it. So I have to ask, what browser do you use? Unfortunately I've never owned a working cell phone so I don't know how SP looks like on one.

I finally broke down and got one in July. I don't use it much though, so I haven't seen what SP looks like on my phone.

It was a great chance to move to HTML5 and CSS3 - keep the whole website as strict and straight forward as it was and go for a faster - more dynamic version with HTML5

Matt I know you are working on the API and this would have helped you a lot as well ...

Frontpage has an extremely ugly android robot on the front. There are too many shades (impossible to read orange on blue with a black shade)
