Eric Aitala Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi Folks, The new IPMS/USA Reviews web site is now up and running. Currently there are about 12 new reviews on the site and more will be added soon. We wanted everyone to take a look at it - I have a few more features that I will be adding in based on a few suggestions but they can wait for the moment. I'd like to thank Patti Walden for taking over the role of assistant webmaster and editor of the site. She's done an excellent job getting the new reviews in this past week or so. I will be updating her info on the EBoard / Web Team page tonight. I'd also like to thank Jim Pearsall, Perry Downen, Rob Folden, Jack Wade, and David Goudie for volunteering to be the guinea pigs on testing the site and who will also be adding new reviews. If anyone has any suggestions, spots any bugs, or has comments, please post them here. The site is located at: http://web.ipmsusa3.org Thanks, Eric Aitala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Aitala Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm hoping I can flesh out the indexing a little, but given that the site wide search works pretty well, I think most folks will take advantage of that. Eric Nice work. Much more efficient organization. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewahl Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 It looks great! One difficulty I have: The screen page is too wide for my monitor's screen. I have to scroll left/right to read every line of text and view each picture. That will be time-consuming and annoying as I try to read posted reviews. Is there something I have to do at my end to correct the image size to fit my monitor? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Aitala Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 The width is something I need to look at... but from looking at our Google Analytics stats, I would say that 80% of the Forum visitors have screen resolutions over 800x600. I may see about having an alternative theme... E Eric It looks great! One difficulty I have: The screen page is too wide for my monitor's screen.

Mark Aldrich Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 ERIC, You absolutely effin ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! The link to a review actually goes to THAT review instead of the review page and having to find a review!!!!! IS there a plan to redo the old ones the same way?

Eric Aitala Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Now that the new space is built - we even have a 'secret' testing version of the site - I am going to see if I can import the old reviews into the new site. I am not sure this is possible, but the way John R redid the HTML template for the reviews was pretty smart and may allow for an automated import. I think we'd probably have to re-insert the images by hand, but just getting the text in would be really useful. Eric ERIC, You absolutely effin ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
