YOUR SUGGESTIONS FOR THE NEW DiS SITE!!!

sean [Edit] [Delete] 35 replies 19:41, 30 July '07

HELLO!

Right, that's about enough capital letters. As some of you know, we're redesigning DiS at the moment and planning to relaunch in a couple of months. Some sexy.. well, actually very clean, sharp and functional designs, are well underway.

HOWEVER, we know that the site, as is, has things that you'd never want to see changed and things which are actually quite useful but poorly executed... So, we'd like to know, what would you like to keep and what suggestions do you have for tweaks to the site as it currently is. I'll start a separate thread to keep this focused on evoluting what we've already got and make a new one for NEW suggestions/ideas here: http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/2254712

Before you ask, yes, one day you will be able to add pictures to your user profiles.

Sean

    • awww

      i miss that design. was so easy to see what was new and get led into reading things you didnt already know about.

      sean @ThingsThatFly | 30 Jul '07, 19:57 | X
      • yes I definately think the having the

        three albums singles and live sections all without having to scroll down did draw me into the content more, I rarely even read the reviews these days

        ThingsThatFly @sean | 30 Jul '07, 20:22 | X
  • you need to have

    a much better listings database. i really like the ideas for being able to list what records you own and what gigs you've been to, but as it stands there's just too much missing for it to be that much use.

    guntrip | 30 Jul '07, 19:44 | X
    • ^

      the gig listings really need some help...
      i'll volunteer my adding listings services right here, right now.

    A search facility that actually works. You might even put a little bit of cash you have left over towards this.

      • BOARD SEARCH

        please make it more focussed on community threads rather than age-old DiS articles. Maybe separate searches for articles and forum threads

        i'm sick of scrolling through 3 pages of ancient news stories and interviews with unknowns before i can get to the stuff i want. So sick that i don't even bother any more

        smezzer | 30 Jul '07, 20:04 | X
        • request

          sean @smezzer | 31 Jul '07, 14:39 | X
        • Yeah, I think what might also work is a 'thread' version

          so you just saw thread titles from he returns.

          TheoGB @smezzer | 31 Jul '07, 16:54 | X
      • Bring back: , and HTML tags on the forum

      • Is it technologically possible

        for the threads to "remember" when I last checked it, highlight already read posts, and have new posts marked.. so that if they're not at the bottom of the page I can find the new one?
