Updates
 

I'm working on updating the site. Can someone tell me: can you see the front page properly still (I've just made some changes that could break it if I've got them wrong.) And can you see http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tripplan/bike/

Thanks,

Jeff

I just checked it briefly and the front page and http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tripplan/bike/ look good to me.

Front page looks okay. So does the link you posted.

Thank you
 

Thanks for the feedback.

Jeff

At this moment, there is a missing image on the frontpage
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...s/misc/rss.jpg(if you see an image, it's fixed)
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...s/misc/rss.jpg

small point:
I see lot's of the fonts are changed now (from Times to Verdana), I like it, but some of the headlines still popup in Times, probaply some inconsequence (sp?) in the ccs or templates, I guess H1,H2 and so on, are still unasigned or wrong, same goes for some fontsizes (different sizes in one article or chapter makes it little difficult to read).

Thanks, Keep up the good work

BTW: windowsXP-IE7

Image fixed
 

Bart,

That image is fixed.

Thanks for letting us know. If you see anything else that's broken, give me or Grant a shout.

Jeff

Apologies if you were affected by the changes this evening.
 

We made some major changes behind the scenes today, and you might have seen some of the glitches along the way. Sorry if you followed a broken link this evening. Those should all be fixed now.

If you'd like a preview of what we are working towards for the first stage of changes www.horizonsunlimited.com/tripplan/bike is a page which is handled by the new backend.

If you see problems with that page, or any others, leave a note in this thread.

Thanks,

Jeff

Updates finished for tonight
 

You should see, a new menu structure in the HUBB, and on other pages that are handled by the new backend. A cleaner top section, updated breadcrumb that works properly on any page handled by the new backend, fewer options on the navbar, and some tidying.

If you see strangeness, please leave us a note.

Thanks,

Jeff

New layout...
 

....looks much better than before. Easier to navigate, clear, keep it up!!!

Just one more thing - on the technical tips site the following links are out:

Air Filter Testing Result
Race Tech Gold Valve
Idler Shaft Lever aka "doohickey"

Just since you are working on the URL already - why not fix this stuff, too.

Thanks Klaus! Anyone know the correct links? We haven't time to search for it right now, still lots to do to the system.

Klaus is talking about this page:

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tech/

thanks! We're getting there!

If you see problems with that page Thanks,
Hope this helps.

Thanks Patrick. :(

What browser / operating system are you using? I'm not seeing it with IE7 or Firefox.

I'm running an ancient version

No problems...
 

...here! The page looks just fine! Using Internet Explorer with Windows XP..

Gonna send you the links for the above mentioned broken links some time this weekend...sorry, also over here a little busy!

Keep on going! :thumbup1:

Ancient IE on Mac
 

Patrick,

We'll look at that old version of IE, and see if there's anything to be done about the layout, but don't get your hopes too high; we've upgraded the HTML so that newer browsers get a better experience.

There's an old version of Mozilla Firefox, which might do better, somewhere on the net. It runs on MacOS 9.2. It's not entirely Mac-like, but it may be better than IE. It may take some fiddling to install.

Try these two links:
Unofficial Mozilla for Mac OS 9 (Mac OS Classic)
Mozilla 1.2.1 – Mac OS – VersionTracker

You probably know this: all browsers have security holes. Older ones have problems that lots of people know about. Don't keep anything you wouldn't want someone knowing, on a computer with a browser that is wide open.

"You are not authorized to access this page".
 

Jeff,
The AAANavigate under hubb: links still show

"You are not authorized to access this page".

Is this intended?

Regards,
Norman

Whoops!!!
 

Sorry: that menu item should be showing up for you at all; it's a working area for content that's in the new backend but hasn't been made public. Thanks for telling us about it. Hopefully by the time you see this, it will have disappeared.

I'll distract your attention by pointing out a couple of small new features...

1. The menus in HUBB and other pages where the new backend is in place can be rolled up by clicking on the little down arrows on the right hand side of the menu title.

2. Menus open and close - try ones in Planning with triangle arrows next to them.

3. Some backend pages have an automatically generated print-friendly version. See www.horizonsunlimited.com/tripplan/bike/. It has a link at the bottom of the page.

Page loading time
 

Jeff and Grant (or should it be vice versa??),

I know that I can really bother people sometimes....but just a recomendation since/while you are at it. It is not unacceptable - however, it takes quite some time until the HU website can be seen. I always thought it might be a problem with my computer (upload/download speed) until I ran the HU page on a free page-checker......:( . Maybe (when or if you have the time) someone should work on the pics, gifs and so on. And here is the URL for the page checker...

Web Page Speed Report - WebSiteOptimization.com.

As I said, it's completely free and gives you in my opinion some valuable information. If you want to, maybe I can help you a little during the upcoming spring vacation in March/April. :thumbup1:

Klaus, thanks and understood - and agreed! We're working on it, as fast as we can! That pic you mention wasn't supposed to be so big - not sure how that happened unless it didn't get the optimised version uploaded in the first place. my mistake...nothing new there!

Jeff,
Thanks so much for the Mozilla tip.

Excellent!
 

Mail: there's probably a setting in the configuration pages that tells it what program to use to mailto links. Not 100% sure about this.
