RSS feed links are incorrect and all point to the database entry feed.
Thanks for spotting this. Fixed!

@tproli: I have updated the local CSS/JS with your minified versions (as per your PM), and restore the hrefs in the template to point to the local files in preparation for the cutover. If there are no major problems, I will make the cutover in about 24 hours.

I gu(inn)ess you look like this then: :shock:

@Andrew
Could you wrap the "Icon" and the "Screenshot" previews with a label, like this:

Code: Select all

<label for="icon">
  <img src="icons/ico18VwpP.gif" class="iconUpload" alt="">
</label>

and

Code: Select all

<label for="screenshot">
  <img src="screenshots/scrQFXJNv.gif" class="iconUpload screenshot" alt="">
</label>
This would make the previews clickable. Make sure not to mess up the "for" attribute values, otherwise the wrong input fields are triggered :)

A minor issue:

When submitting an empty comment to an entry, an error message shows but there is no element with "comment0" ID so the page cannot jump to that section. Adding that ID to the message div would solve it. Otherwise the page reloads and the top of the page is shown, one have to scroll down and may have not a clue what's happening.

This is also valid for the Post comment action.

Staring at the screen + F5 a couple of times = No change :shock:

@Andrew
Do you require a portable project time management tool? :lol: :P

Fixed and verified.

Working on the cutover now...

I haven't visited this site in weeks and I come back to see this new design, awesome! You guys did an excellent job. Looks spectacular.

There's a few minor nitpicks / kinks

1)
Display X entrees is not remembered. it defaults back to 5 entrees.

2)
A thumbnail would be preferred over a full screenshot on the app description page.

That's not a bad idea but there is a catch: there is no thumbnail for entries. So bandwidth saving is not available.

The screenshot can be downsized and displayed in a smaller size with the help of css. The downside is that browsers usually don't scale images nicely so screenshots would be blurry or jagged.

As a workaround the screenshot height could be cropped at a fixed value, e.g. 150 pixels, and clicking on it would toggle the actual height. This would eliminate some scrolling.

This would be great for small screens... :!:

@ tproli: A little wish from me :wink:
Can you make the "What's new?" (aka "Checker-field" :lol: ) wider. It would be easier for me to work within.

You mean higher? I made it 250px high (100px added) on the test site. Latest browsers have a resize feature for textareas so you can make it as large as you like it.
(Opera has this feature only in its latest snapshot)
