Poor Claudio... - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

This site is turning into a big mess. If you click on the poll once or twice the screen shows double and triple instances of pages. Example: Scroll down a bit and the page starts all over again. Scroll down a little farther and a fresh page starts again. Hmmmmm.....

The fonts have changed for me. They are very difficult to read. If it gets any worse I'm outta here.

Actually I'm only offering feedback at this point. I hope it gets better.

Just checked the site with the I.E. browser. Things look much better using that vehicle. I guess we just need to have some patience. Not picking on you Claudio. I know getting things just right on multiple browsers can be a real headache. Hang in there.

All I can say is I'm extremely sad about the site change. I have tried setting my resolution to 1024 x 768 and then "zooming" the pages and I struggle to see any other applications, etc on my computer. And even by "zooming the words are still small. If I get them big enough to be comfortable then I'm scrolling back and forth to read things!!! When I'm at 800 x 600 then I have to scroll back and forth across the pages to read stuff. Really takes all the joy out of it for me as it is annoying as hell!! So I have a choice of STRAINING my eyes to read the small print or CONSTANTLY going back and forth..... hhhmm, let me see. Whatever happened to IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!! Yes I know I'm shouting, but at least I can see that. Can you tell me why you changed everything in the first place??

Haven't had any problem with resolution or anything else, (using Safari) but still miss the ability to access the Fox Chapel Home page easily. However, the potential of this new design seems pretty good, and I appreciate Claudio's staying on top of things.

It appears to be working pretty good for me now in firefox.
I just wish it wasn't so slooooooow.

I have been doing a complete overhaul on my website so i know how frustrating getting things to work tight can be...& I have been teaching myself xhtml at the same time.I'm actually getting pages to validate...Yippeeeee!

Carole,

A good Web site design works well with all mainstream browser platforms. That would include Safari for the MAC, as well as Internet Explorer and Firefox for the PC. I use Netscape, which is a Mozilla product and is identical to Firefox.

It's all kind of a shame that there are so many problems with the new roll out. Usually these problems are worked out before hand.

My problem with the font size is that it is a little too small. Yes, that can be fixed with Ctrl +, BUT I like to switch back and forth to other Web sites and using Ctrl + makes those Web sites too big. Obviously I don't want to continually change Ctrl + to Ctrl - cycling back and forth to suit the page viewed.

Unfortunately, the new fixed font is causing some of us difficulties. When a Web site becomes difficult to navigate or view the Web site will lose customers (I am one) and business. After all that is the purpose of this forum - to create interest in scrolling, while building magazine sales.

Rick,

Some things just can't be anticipated for a new roll out. I assume you don't work anymore. Everytime they do a slightest change at work it always attects something else. Give it time and the GODS working on this will get most of the bugs out of it and we will live with the ones that cure.
