I wondered when the SOTM-suggested redesign would surface :) For me (regarding the redesigned version): - The mobile website looks better (menus hidden in the typical menu section), though the top "title" bar could be shrunk a little IMO. - The regular website is better on my little netbook screen a) the wider/shorter search/welcome piece is an improvement, even if simply due to the absence of a vertical scroll bar due to the height of the previous left-hand sidebar. b) I would second (third?) the comment re the ability to 'X' or drop down/up the welcome piece, though when to have it (re)display by default (new window/tab, new session, cookie/duration) isn't clear. c) Another thing is that the Edit box requires log-in, so... is there a reason that the 'log in' isn't the main route to editing, or should it really be greyed out until the user is logged-in (with a hover-tip)? I suppose this is about making people aware that it can be edited (online)? d) Lastly, the same point applies as per the mobile website, that the top white bar is higher/deeper now; it may be more aesthetically pleasing, but for those of us with tiny screens it's a little frustrating?
Do we need to forward our comments to the talk list, or is there some other official channel to make comments to? -- Neil On 16 November 2013 18:01, ael <law_ence....@ntlworld.com> wrote: > On Sat, Nov 16, 2013 at 01:36:40PM +0000, David Earl wrote: >> On 15/11/2013 20:15, Rob Nickerson wrote: >> >(The aim of this email is to provide prior knowledge of an upcoming change >> >to the >> >OSM website and to give you an opportunity to provide constructive feedback) >> >> >> Would it be possible to have a dismiss button on the Welcome to >> OpenStreetMap box (including Learn More and Sign Up, but not >> including search)?
