New Website - Things that bug me — Theatre Australia Forums

Na started a thread to list any bugs or technical errors in the new website. THIS thread is more an opportunity to list things that bug YOU. Not for technical glitches and problems with access to functions, but for more conceptual gripes and suggestions. (I don't know that this belongs in Billboard Bulletins, but I wanted it alongside Na's other thread, where they can be seen together. Really they both ought to be in Tech Talk?) This thread is for you to say 'this thing works but I would prefer this', or 'I miss this thing', or 'why do we need this'..? The other thread is for specific, technical fixes. Use this one for more general, conceptual suggestions. This will A) draw it to Grant's attention for future design modifications, B) give feedback as to what users of the site prefer, and C) keep it from cluttering up the priority list of bug fixes. For example, to start with, I was going to suggest people might prefer the poll to appear on the front page, because unless it's in your face I doubt it would get many hits, hidden in submenus. Since sorting out my own problem with getting my posts to stick, I notice that's already been done. Any thing else that's bugging you..? Cheers, Craig

Hi Na > Is there any way to do a search for a member, company or link? > Or any kind of search for that matter? Not sure if you missed the search box, top right of every page? It's a little slow (what isn't at the moment) but produces some useful results. Or, you could try the advanced search link that will appear: http://www.theatre.asn.au/trip_search/advanced There's also a search tool for companies at the top of each list of companies; try the companies menu/view companies then optionally select by state. User search could use some work as there really isn't any way to currently search by name, but then there is the casting couch: http://www.theatre.asn.au/casting_couch Oh, and if all else fails, try browsing the site by categories http://www.theatre.asn.au/taxonomy_browser :-) Hope this helps! Although I expect it may leave people spoilt for choice! Cheers Grant
