blondepoker goes all posh........

Im in favour of the new look home page, although whenever i log in and the kids are watching, they look at the "reclining lovely" at the top of the page and say ... Dads looking at porn on the computer  ... as if !! . If it wasnt for ironside telling me that such stuff was readily available online, i wouldnt even know it existed

Who's the bird er...reclining on top ?

Looks like one of Laliques models, very tasteful.

 

I thought that was Tikay in silhouette?

Together with the name "blonde poker" it's easy to see how someone could get the wrong idea.

The disabling of the right click is really annoying though.

[Newportlad]

Cant say that im impressed with the new front page look.

Also now seem to be having problems in the forum with the 'show unread post since last visit'
When i click on this, i get no new updates.  Anyone else having this problem?

[Robert HM]

Yes. I've got the same problem with the "Show unread posts...... etc", been like that ever since the upgrade. However if you go down the page and click on "No unread topics found since your last visit. Click here to try all unread topics." It will show all unread topics with the latest at the top, not as neat but gets the job done.

Sorry but I have to agree with others about the grid lines, it is acting like some form of illusion and difficult to look at for long. In addition I thik I have the same habit as Bongo, I like to open different pages in a new window but the right click is disabled, as there is not much with copyright issues on that page can it be re-enabled (is that a word!?!?)

[Bongo]

I can middle click to open links a new window (well tab), but that's just the joys of Firefox for you.

I really don't get why right clicks are disabled, it does nothing useful to anyone and just annoys your user. Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do in my browser?

[ifm]

you can sort the open in new window malarchy by using tabrowser.
It open all links in a new tab but if like the blonde homepage it won't you just left click, hold it for a sec and move the mouse a fraction and release.
Also a really handy feature for the live updates is an autorefresh button, very handy.

Well you could argue, why should you have to install additional software on your machine to view a website the way you want to.

On the other hand if you're going to change your browser in anyway I can heartily recommend the excellent Mozilla FireFox.

I really don't like the new front page.

The grid lines are quite garish and go for my eyes. The colour scheme looks awfully old fashioned too. It's a matter of taste, but I tend to prefer a less cluttered screen, and less colour.

As a poker related example, I looked at the Gutshot site for the first time recently, and I thought they had a good layout and colour scheme.

[ifm]

erm, wouldn't that be installing extra software?
i'll have a quick look but to tell the truth i've had terrible times with other browsers, the simple fact is despite everything microsoft are the best and so everybody writes their software to enable full compatability with them.

Internet Explorer is really, really bad though, it's not he best it's just the most used (the reason for this was the subject of several court cases i believe).

And yes, it is installing extra software but i'd recommend it over IE anyway, but this is not really the thread to discuss such things.

[wsopin07]

please, just remember, you are the first of many, lets make this the best, to hell w/ the rest!!

If you have ever dealt w/ something new, this is an experiment in progress, and I know it is a winner

[Ironside]

the poker on tv section is the buisness now if i want to see what my poker options are for the evening i just need to click on on page and not scroll thru 100s of different tv channels

not sure if the 226 and 265 listings should be there or not people know the channels are total poker but and all in one shop might be good too

This is First-Class Feedback, and is EXACTLY why we posted it - do please keep the responses coming.

As I suggested, the site layout and design is a work-in-progress, & certain changes are in train, but your feeback so far will help us enormously.

It falls, largely, to Rhow & Dave to look after the design & tech side, so you will be doing them, & blondepoker, a big favour if you keep this stuff coming.

Thanks. Together, we can make this site the business!

I remember someone i think Tikay posting concerning the fact a lot of forum members never went near the site and others just used its as  a conduit to the forum.

Would it be an idea to have a highly visible  ask the questions type thing on the main site so that first time players/users who come a cross the site have a reason to visit the site rather than come straight to the forum.
Questions could be answered by the senior members etc.


it could be called "poker doctor" or something and deal with speciifc pokier related problems/questions
other than that the site is great apart from photos of loads of ugly blokes.....and tikay
