artistQN5 said on May 05, 2011:

Even better… Chris redid the entire STORE section. Smile

THANK YOU, CHRIS!

 

Epic Aesthetic said on May 06, 2011:

Looks awesome. The Store is so well organised!

Love the graphic at the top showing the chronology of releases.

Hey Chrissy! Smile

If you’re doing some work on the sight, my suggestion for something super cool and easy to do would be… For each artist forum, they can have their own banner placed at the top of the page. Like… when I click on the artists page, the banner changes to their own personal picture along the top. May as well be the exact same for each of their forums too! You can make some new ones for the General forum and the CATM forum.

Thank you for taking this into consideration.

Phil

p.s Your mum keeps calling me and won’t stop! Please tell her we had our fun, but I cannot continue to see her… as I’m in the UK. Thanks! Razz

The store is fresh! Not liking the new comment buttons, they seem a little ‘bitty’, if you get me. May be the res on my laptop though.

Wow. That has to be one of the best online stores I’ve ever seen.

 

SoFly said on May 06, 2011:

Eesh, not a fan of the new buttons. Too garish. Store looks nice though.

 

Nitroxide said on May 06, 2011:

Store looks great

I wanted to include some history (and nostalgia for us long-time fans), hopefully giving one extra reason to support indie music. I could (and should) write an essay on why supporting indie artists of all kinds is important.

Coincidentally, the label revealed a history/evolution theme for the 2011 Megashow the day before. Something must be in the air.

@Osiris: Thanks for the suggestion.

@SoFly: Thanks for the feedback. We’ll see — the previous button styles tended to get lost within the page, weren’t obviously clickable, weren’t consistent from section-to-section and didn’t get as much attention as I would’ve liked when the site first launched.

Thanks everyone. Next up is the 2011 Megafans blog. It was fun the first time around — Gonna make it even better this year. I hope you all join up and I look forward to your stories.

I’d like to point out I just used the “Forums” and “Recent Comments” buttons above. Some sweet CSS action going on!

All my QN5.com searches as of late result in the above quotation.

Is it just me or.. ?

 

staffchris said on Jun 27, 2011:

Weird. Happening for me, too. Thanks, I’ll look into it.

 

staffchris said on Jun 28, 2011:

Fixed. Google switched some things around, had to update our search code.

 

jinx8402 said on Jun 28, 2011:

Ah don’t you hate that? I’m building a site that relies on google maps and they pushed an update that killed half my map’s functionality.

Sucks when you have to rely on some other web service.

 

staffchris said on Jun 28, 2011:

Better than building your own map service Wink

This bug has been verified on Firefox 5. When you click on your login at the top and then the ‘Change Photo’ link it just reloads the page and nothing else happens.

You can still click Settings > Photo tab and change your photo that way. I just did so.

 

staffchris said on Jun 30, 2011:

Thanks for the tip, I fixed the “Change photo” link on profiles. It was just a really dumb oversight on my part.

 

PretendGirl said on Jun 30, 2011:

woot. white women love tone.

staffchris said on Jul 14, 2011:

Will have something new for you guys soon…

 

staffchris said on Jul 14, 2011:

http://qn5.com/megafans2011 — Ha, it’s here! It hit the blog quicker than I thought it would. Come join the fun and I’ll see you guys in NY.

Adding that link to the megafans page next to recent comments was a good touch Wink
