If we were to do a complete and utter overhaul of the Spring's layout, while keeping the Yapp software, what should we change?
340 responses total.

first, I guess, we would have to decide if we didn't like the current
design enough for us to change it, and second, I guess to a point it
doesn't matter as I can change my topics to look however I want...
So, does everyone want a re-design?

this is a hypothetical. but, from comments i've had from people "in the know" i.e. in the web trade (http://www.ntd.co.uk), i think it could do with a bit of work.
the interface can be a little clumsy at times, i find. also, it can be difficult to navigate through the topics that i read in particular conferences, without manually going through my conference list page every time. a catchup function would be nice, so that i can just catchup all the old responses in a topic at will.

It's fine with me, I just have limited time so if folks want more system
wide design power, it can be arranged. Myretta and Nan have system wide
design change power and there are directions for making system wide

hheeee cool thing. i've created my own startup page for the spring, which lives here locally on my machine. it's got the main spring page in one frame, and my conference hotlist in a small top frame. that way, i can go to any conference i like without having to go through the main page every time. it works quite well, although it has the disadvantages associated with all frame sites (no bookmarking, url not filled in etc.).
but, i'm trying it out. if anyone else would like to try it out, then please let me know.

well. it has to be set up for each individual person at the moment; you need to cut and paste your own conf. list, until can find a way to access the one the spring produces. is that a cgi script that i can just call, or haven't you any idea?

well, i tried it in Babes, and to be honest, it doesn't look as good as i expected it to. it looks lovely in Engaged apps, but for some reason not here. i don't think the <hr> tag goes particularly well with plain white.
how about something plain, but with a distant "spring.net" in it? that's what i've tried out here, and the first results are OK. dunno if that's the best solution, though. try the white. see what it looks like. i'll try it here, too.

two things.
firstly, the white looks nasty, imho. how about a light blue? i've dialed up #22ccdd here, and it looks quite nice - restrained, and compliments the darker blue links to confs etc.
secondly, can anyone supply me with a decent fixedwidth font? the standard one i have is courier, and it's bloody horrible. i'm now using typewriter something or other, which is better, but a bit spaceage and weird looking.

i've found the code which produces the main page. or rather, the template. however, it's a bit CGI-ey and scarey, so adding the "shortcut" box may be a little difficult. or at least tricky.

Just thought I'd put in a couple of comments about colors and fonts on the web. Both of these are browser dependent so there are some real limititations to what you can do with them. The only fonts that will appear on a web page are the ones that are supported by your browser when you look at the options selection for fonts. And what is supported by your browser may not be supported by the rest of the people looking at the page. If you want to be sure everyone is seeing the same thing, it is best to l
ok for something that is universal (Times New Roman - boring but everyone has it - for example). The way to get around this is to put the font you want to use into a graphic (a .gif or .jpg) and then put the graphic on your page. Colors, too, vary from browser to browser. The colors which are consistent across all platforms can be found on the web. One such site is:
http://www2.jens.com/~selkirk/courses/toolbox/style/colors2.html
Hope you don't mind my butting in, but I thought a couple of tips might be helpful if you are just starting off.

let me know if I can help. the way to change the non-prop font globally is to use the Options in your browser (e.g. Netscape. Options menu/General Preferences/Fonts).
i can't remember how to change the non-prop font with an HTML tag, although I do remember it's possible. might be worth looking that one up (time I got myself a list of all the HTML tags and options, I think)

as a conference host? if you're a conference host, you need to edit the rc file - i think the additions needed are in "Creating a host help-pack", so look in there. if you mean in general, then you can't - it's fixed in the software until we can convince terry to change it for us :)

hmmm...a thought. some people seem to have worked out the rather intricate URLs needed to link to another conference/topic/posting, while others haven't. how about something in the HTML interpreter commandy thing which allows easy linking to another conf/topic/posting? something like :
Well, if you look in [topic::23] you'll find the info, with [topic::23] being turned into an HTML link to that topic?
that one's probably better passed onto the YAPP people themselves, i guess.

I pay for it all, but hopefully we'll figure out a better model than
that! Suggestions??? Should we have a pledge drive? I could clearly
explain what it costs to run this place and we could try and raise some
funds that way. Or we could expand our web business with volunteer help
form our users.

I've got an idea how we can have fun and raise a bit of money for the spring as the spring people. There's going to be that big spring party next year, right? What if we all came a day or so in advance, have a huge cake baking, popcorn popping get together the first day. Sell these at a huge stall with lots of music and colourful ribbons and baloons, and at a 100% profit the next day and have the party on the third day! You know, like in school, but alot bigger! Popcorn put me through four years of s
udy at a conservatorium when I was in school, so it's the only practical idea I can come up with - sorry if it sounds childish.
And the rest of the time, why don't you just ask us for donations, Terry? I'd be willing to, because the spring is important.

about the main index page where you want the last responses to go:
how does everyone feel about splash pages?
it's the easiest way to do it (frames would be next easiest)
as I have to write a template and script for the page
to include the last response thang...I'm also gonna put
the last response pages over in public for more universal
access...

Just had a bit of a thought whilst I was playing around in the web interface. If you run in 640*256 then the slide on the main page is pretty big. It would be easy to tailor the main page so that the image was scaled to fit screen resolutions - just a tiny bit of javascript does it. Also, we could implement an option whereby each user could choose whether they wanted the slide on their main page or not (I, for example, don't particularly). Again, easy to do with a web browser cookie. I'd be happy to
o both of these things.

because of monitor sizes, and using minimized windows, Wolf, I can't
get rid of all the scrollbars without loosing some info that's up...
just like the yellow line which is below the springcam for me, but
beside it for you...I can make it a different color and I think I'll
go with the green of the background on the cam info frame...should I
go with the different fonts for the conference names?

oh, thanks for explaining wer *hugs* um, the green would work, methinks....and the conf names, hmmmm...maybe a size bigger...i dunno, it's obvious you worked hard on it and i hope you don't think i'm being critical *smooch*

no, go ahead and be critical...if it doesn't appeal to as many as
possible, there's no need to change it, right?
anyway, the green is done, and I've started playing with the fonts,
so go check it again...

It's good, wer, but the font in the lower left box (with Spring's address) needs to be much larger so folks will know where to send their checks! I see you like the black box. Oh well, can't win 'um all...

Looks good, much better without the big borders between frames. I like
the way only the picture refreshes.

The left-most one with the green plain typing in it. It is not the screen part waiting for the picture to come on - it is the slightly larger one to the far left. (It really does not bother me as I do not come in that way!)It is really quite fine.

Hmh. It looks nice, but I *liked* the old one with the musical notes... plus the blue of the writing and the greenish stripes hurts my eyes a bit.
You also made the "clear"-button vanish from under the field to write in?

Hmh. Eyes are cool, notes are musical - perhaps a different hue for a change?
I hate sinking other people's boats, so - any suggestion?
What about the "clear"-button?

OK, lemme guess - Moonbeam?
I never had this problem, but found it very useful when I pasted some copied text in there, but wanted to take it out again for some reason (wrong topic, etc.).
How about putting it ABOVE the window? No clumsy fingers can mistake it there...
(What always happened to me was, I hit the redisplay button. Took me a month to get over this...)

Any way you can make those eyes and notes less intense - or the stripes more muted would be welcome to these eyes.

No, Not Moonbeam...I was the one who requested its removal - but I am not alone. Until you have written an opus worthy of binding and hit the wrong button (btw, I could handle it if it were far to the right of the submit button), you do not appreciate how infernal that clear button can really be.

Compromise is a good thing about the Clear button. I made a location change request in Drool and the magicians there put it to the far right of the box in which I am now writing...opposite corner from the submit button. That is great. BTW, when I do want to delete the whole mess I highlight one line, hit the control+A and it is all highlighted. Then I hit the delete button on the computer and it is gone! Just a thought. I spent two days looking for good wallpaper for music but came up empty. I canno
read through those same-color-as-the-post eyes and notes. Oh well...it is not my conference...=)

The Front Page - http://www.spring.net - looks incredible with the black background. Really stands out. Wolf said she can see the pictures in the table on the right but I cannot see them. I dumped cache, closed out the computer, rebooted and the whole nine yards. I still cannot see them, though I can see the globe at the bottom of the middle table. I know, get rid of Netscape! Must I purge my hotlist again to get any of the graphics I am supposed to be seeing?
I need help - what else is new?! Anyway, it looks sensational. Just thought you should know...*smile*

And, if the black wallpaper is the intended one, would Ree's artwork not be exquisite on such a background in that large empty square in the middle table?
The type colors chosen would be exactly right with the "painting", as well. We would have the classiest front page on the entire web!
