Hey Folks,
Just a quick announce telling everyone about the major site updates I did for round 3. I've been sick this last week, which is why you haven't heard much from me. I managed to get better in time to run Round 3 and implement suggested changes from everyone:
- Flowplayer is now all over the place so you can play round and submissions easily.
- Everything is now singular pages, no more fake tabs going on.
- Rounds have a player that plays all the submissions so far along with the submitter's picture while it's playing.
- Winnars page has a month's worth of past rounds, with links to the rounds and links to start rating rounds, and links to each submission.
- Way better "blind taste-test" rating workflow. From the round, just click "Start listening to and rating submissions" under the player and you'll be able to walk through all of the ones you haven't heard yet, rate them very fast, view comments after you rate them, and move on to the next one.
- Submission pages have flowplayer to play the submission, are more compact, and show either a login, a short rating/comment form, or the comments so far in a compact way.
- You can easily view past submissions you're interested in by just hitting the /winnars and clicking on their titles.
- If you just want to hear the round "album style" then use the player on the round. Try it with round 2.
Alright, now I'm gonna write some shed posts on doing a good recording, funk, and using fretwar. Let me know if you hit bugs in the above changes.
