New Layout

<3 love love love - although we do need a main page button

Mark

Yes, I was literally just looking for one! That's one of the things that's definitely missing!

Jellyka

For sure lol.

Steve

Question: the border around the content (the black-ish one) is there a way in the CSS to hide that? Doesn't exactly go with my frontpage!

Jellyka

Yeah, there will be methods added in.

Steve

I like it, though I really will miss the side menu.

holdtehpickles

I noticed that when I click "switch" while on the mainpage, it takes me to the switch page, but my name (in the top left, next to my picture) says "Jellyka/stars/"

and right now there's a broken image icon next to my name.

Jellyka

Should be fixed now, I was just adding it in

Steve

Well, aren't you on top of things

Jellyka

It's definitely a cleaner look...and will take some getting used to, but I rather like it!

This is cool - very nice and clean. =) I am always for customisation, so taskbar css customisation would be beyond amazing (eventually). xD

It's still doing that thing though where the Home, Explore, Comments etc. tabs are overlapping the shadow beneath the taskbar, just so you know! (Chrome)

Loving the new layout.

I really love the new layout. It's very clean looking. I just had one question, is there (or will there be) a way that when you are looking at someone's entry that will bring you to their main page?

photobooth.

I am wondering the same thing.
♥

I love the new layout, but I have a question- and it could be a stupid one that has an answer glaring me in the face, but- how do I edit an entry once I've published it?

that's a good question

MoreThanEnough

Is there going to be a "log out" button on the taskbar? Or will we have to go to the home page to log out all the time? LOL. Random, but I just noticed that.

Alex's Momma

If you hover on your profile pic at the top left, a logout link appears. =)

Ooooooh...yeah, TOTALLY did NOT think to do that! LOL. Thanks!

Alex's Momma

Not a big fan of "faves" not showing up in the toolbar consistently.

MoreThanEnough

another suggestion for the toolbar, you don't have a link to the forums under the "explore" option. that would be nice to have, i think.

MoreThanEnough

Forums should appear under explore... and faves should be appearing on the toolbar constantly... try refreshing your page, perhaps the scripting hasn't updated

Steve

forums still don't show up even after refresh (both clicking refresh and hitting F5). also, when reading someone else's entry, devisualize appears which is fine, but that means that "write" goes away. I have to leave someone's diary in order to get the option to write.

MoreThanEnough

oh, and one more thing. when i'm in the "new layout" i can't click the "submit" button when i'm writing an entry. I don't know if it's because of my screen resolution or what, but the toolbar at the top completely covers the bloop logo and the submit button area.

MoreThanEnough

What resolution are you using?

Steve

its not a resolution issue because i use 2 screens at work, set to 2 diff resolutions and it doesn't work on it. but i tried in IE and it worked fine on both. it's because i'm in chrome i guess.

MoreThanEnough

I'm in Chrome and don't have a prob. Very weird. Can you take a screenshot?

Steve

screen shot is in the comment above. wanted to comment, that you'll notice that the bloop toolbar isn't at the tip top of my browser. it's always a 1/2 inch or so below it. (notice my swag bucks toolbar in relation to the bloop toolbar)

MoreThanEnough

Aahhh, I bet it's the swagbucks toolbar that is incompatible with it. Can you try turning that off temporarily to see if it makes any difference? I am going to be adding some code soon that will position the toolbar differently, so that might help.

Steve

yep. it works fine now.

MoreThanEnough

though, now it's doing this:

see how the menu options are actually below your gray bar area?

MoreThanEnough

Weeeirrrrdddd lol. Looks like there's still some bugs to fix.

Steve

Is your chrome zoom setting different to 100%?

To check click the spanner icon - and it should be there!

Mark

Or 'wrench' icon lol

Steve

it's set exactly at 100%

MoreThanEnough

ok, so i see now that it "shows uo" in the explore menu but i can't click it because it's up behind the toolbar. i noticed it while moving my mouse around.

MoreThanEnough

pps. i thought it would help if i add that i use chrome

MoreThanEnough

Maybe I just don't see it (and please tell me if I'm dumb and it's right in front of me, lol), but when I'm reading an entry in someone's diary, but want to go to their front page (like where their entry list is)...how do I do that? With the old one, I'd just click frontpage, but I don't see a way to get to it now with the new layout.

BTW, I do love the new look!

ThatDarnMiranda

There is no link for that yet, but it's comin

Steve

Yo - if I am using the new layout, and viewing someone's diary, how do I see their comments??

[pingu|0 likes] [|reply]

You can't yet

Steve

And also, where is 'manage my diary'?

[pingu|0 likes] [|reply]

Click your profile icon and manage my diary will be on the drop down menu

Steve

Aha - thanks, yo!

BTW, when I use this site on my iPad, the taskbar scrolls down and stays in the middle of the page, and is generally very annoying! Not on my laptop - just on my iPad.

Hey! How do we edit entries in the new layout version? I can't find anything.

Otherwise I didn't like it at first but I am slowly getting used to it and I think I like it better now!

I_Am_Potassium

Right now, you have to click the 'New Layout' button again to switch back to the old layout, click edit entry from there. New functionality will be added this weekend.

Steve

I actually really like the new layout! It's very clean! Thanks Good Sir!

[Beautiful Lies|0 likes] [|reply]

Thank you!

Steve

Dunno if it's just me and me being stupid, but is there a way to get to ppl's profiles from their most recent entry? I can't seem to find it in the new layout....

[love♥nik|0 likes] [|reply]

There isn't yet, but there will be soon!

Steve

There is no difference for me between the old layout and the new layout, except for two wide strips on either side of the "old layout", making it squashed and skinnier - and making everything smaller.
Maybe I'm a bit dumb - I have to press the New Layout tab at the top, right?
<3 Sarah

Major difference is that middle column is a fixed width, and side menu is gone.

Steve

I still have the side menu though. Nothing has changed. /: It's just shmooshed lol. Want me to take a screenshot? I'll take a screenshot. Maybe I'm missing something.

Or wait, is the New Layout option ONLY going for entries? I thought it went for the front page also.
I love how the entries look in the new layout.
<3 Sarah

The new layout will be everywhere.

Steve

Will be, or is already? From the other comments, everyone's has changed.

This is what I see, when I go to the new layout.

Someone said the new layout is very clean and everything - but I don't see a difference.

So, the new layout is in reference to removing the side bar and consolidating everything to the top menu.

But there is also a new main page layout at http://www.bloopdiary.com/main2.php

Steve

How you add a diary to your friends/faves from their entry now?

[.Blue Bella.|0 likes] [|reply]

So for now, you'll have to click the 'New Layout' button to switch back to the old layout and add faves from the side menu. I'm working on adding all the options to the taskbar though.

Steve

LOL cool, as long as its comin I can wait lol. Wow my comment layout looks ugly, time for that to go haha

[.Blue Bella.|0 likes] [|reply]

Need an edit entry option too!

[.Blue Bella.|0 likes] [|reply]

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but there's no longer an edit button for entries on the new layout.
/unless I'm totally not seeing it.
