How can I link to a specific commentary? Link to the forum page?
That's the best solution for now. We'll have something better as soon as possible. The file names haven't changed for any episode, and the naming convention won't be changing.
Sorry, dude. I know this screws you up a bit.
Each episode now has its own page.
For the rest of history, navigating to downinfront.net/episode/33 will bring you to Revenge of the Sith. (Our 33rd episode.) 32 to Hulk, and so on, all the way back to The Phantom Menace, at 1.
In the meantime, to make things easier, I'll add a thread in this forum indicating hard links to each movie we've done.
This is great, but are you going to eventually put the direct links in the front page listings themselves?
Imagine the Star Trek fan who wants to tell others about your Star Trek 6 commentary:
"Go to downinfront.net and click on Archive and then scroll thru the thumbnails in the little box until you find the one that looks like the poster for Star Trek 6, and click on that."
"Is that the one with the Enterprise coming out of Kirk and Spock's heads?"
"No, no, no. You're thinking of the poster for Star Trek 5. The Star Trek 6 poster has the Enterprise about to teabag a Klingon."
"I thought that was Star Trek 7."
"NO! Star Trek 7 was Generations! That had the Enterprise coming out of Kirk and Picard's heads!"
"Found it. Oh, crap. The link's broken."
Aaaaaaaand scene.
By the way, the download link actually IS broken on the Star Trek 6 listing. The file name is missing the 3 at the end.
So just a couple things I've run into:
1) All the text on the site in important places is the same color as the background (Write message:, all the register stuff as well as the login stuff)
2)The streaming file for Hook just leads to a file not working
3)On some of the movies the streaming player gets bumped down so that it's overlayed on top of the scrolling bar. (I think it just depends on how long winded Teague is in the description.) But yah it kinda gets lost amongst the movie posters.
And that's all I've found so far. If I find any more I'll let you know.
For #1, you're specifically talking about the forum, correct? Fixing #2 as we speak, and #3 will be toyed with all week. What resolution are you working with so that I can test it?
I agree with Chris(maul2) about the colors. The cyan-blue fields have the same color font on them, which makes them impossible to see.
Also, you need a favicon. That way, I can bookmark this site, and remove the header text, to just have the icon. Way more bookmarks in the same place, and not so cluttered.
Yes I am talking about just the forum, sorry.
I've tried it on all of my monitors: running 1920x1200, 1024x786, and 1440x900.
And it happens on all of them.
Yeah, at this point, the only text that should be shittily colored is unimportant stuff that you can highlight to read if absolutely necessary. Is the forum usable for you guys, or is it completely impossible to navigate?
Oh yah, it's navigable, it just might be a little confusing for new people cause all you can see is these white boxes with no instructions. But yah unless they're complete morons we can figure it out.
and besides, we don't want complete morons here anyway, do we? ![]()
Does everyone currently see Princess Bride on the homepage? We're still tweaking the way caching works on the site, and it's possible in some cases a person's browser held on to the Revenge of the Sith data.
Yep I'm good. Great commentary too!
And the streaming thing looks right too.
Can't post a comment on the blog because the preview pops up a Captcha in a non-scrolling box that's too small for it, so I can't see the Captcha text entry field or Submit button.
Wow, zombie thread. Minor thing, but there is apparently a timeout somewhere that marks all new threads read automatically after a set period of time, regardless of whether you've actually viewed them. Is this something I can edit, or is it inherent to the system? I'd love to be able to settle in, write a nice long post, and still be able to see the unread posts from last time I logged in.
Oh, and what are the chances of getting Flash / HTML5 (YouTube / Vimeo / etc.) embedding functionality?
Apparently all the text on the site is black now...which needless to say makes it somewhat hard to read.
