New site layout

Ken Wang

Does the slide show on the new home page randomly pick a slide show and then cycle through just the first six slides? If so, I'm re-arranging some of my slideshows.

Precisely.

On the home page the log in link takes you to the forum's login instead of the member's login. That's not helpful since the Members login is the one that actually works.

Both works and both authenticates against same user database. Only difference is Member section use email address as log in while member section use username. Either one should work.

If you prefer member section log in, simply click on "Member section" link. If you are not logg in already, you will be redirected to member section log in page.

In the new layout there seems to be type font quirk with an unusual capital letter J in photo N numbers and in Airport Identifiers that appears strange. The FAA wants N numbers to be in block letters, slanted OK; but that capital J dipping down below the sight line looks strange and seems harder to read at a glance. And, any capital J in airport identifiers stands out. I have not as yet seen any other quirks in the new type font....See N512JJ and GJT for examples.

I experienced a Log In problem on the new format. I tried logging in today per usual to the Members Section by using my email address which was automatically filled in with password also automatically filled in-after typing just two characters, yet the site did not recognize me and wouldn't let me enter as a Member.

I then tried using my name for logging in as to the Forum. That also filled in name and password automatically after entering just two characters. This did get me on the site. There seems to be a Log In glitch, perhaps like Timothy experienced? I want my Log In with email address and password to take me directly to the photos/articles uploading choice page rather than not recognizing me as a Member. Please fix it.

The File size in Bytes and the Photo pixel count have disappeared from all my Airport photos, apparently. Another new format "glitch"?

The same data for Aircraft photos are still shown OK in my Member Section.

Fixed. Thanks for spotting the bug.

Re. font issue. The J does stand out. I really like the current font we are using. I will try to change the font just for the IDs.

Re. member log in. That was not changed during the recent layout change. I did a quick test, and I can log in with email and password no problem. Could you please try to log in through member section, without auto-fill function? Just delete anything auto-populated, and type in manually, see how it goes.

Thank you, Ken.

I went to Home Page, clicked on Member Section and entered first two characters of my email address. It no longer autofilled, which is strange. I backspaced and re-entered my email address and it then did autofill after the third character was entered along with autofill password. It then brought me to the Member selection page. I can live with this quirk, no biggie.

As to the J in the font, a change would certainly look better and be more legible on the photo captions; same for airport IDs.
