Getting There!

Submitted by ezadmin on November 15, 2008 - 6:09pm

We're making good progress with the new Gone Raw!

We've got everything moved over, and we're in the middle of sorting out inconsistencies. We've got our work cut out for us making the site look presentable - there's still a way to go. But it's working, it's staying up and that's a good sign.

In order to move things forward, however, we'll have to take the site down for a few hours tonight. This will let us update the database and update some pieces of the software. We expect this will take place from maybe 8:30PM to 11:30PM PST. If you visit the site during those times, you'll just get a friendly reminder that we'll be back soon.

Thanks again for all your support, and please do keep letting us know about issues as they arise!

Just so everyone knows, I've performed the maintenance, and the site is back up. Should be a bit faster.

Hi, I'm on a power Mac and since the upgrade, the fonts are tiny and pale, no images appear and the site looks totally anemic. I know from friends who are also subscribers that they are loving the new site. So... my question is- what is the inconsistency here? It seems like a weird question but I can't figure out why I'm not experiencing the site as fully.
thanks,
Jill

I'm using a MacBook and I'm thinking if you just upgraded to the latest version of Safari (if you haven't already) that should work..as I'm using Safari..or you could try Firefox.

Hi Jill, not sure why you're seeing things so strange. I do have to admit: the fonts are a bit pale for my taste. Definitely we still have a way to go on the styles. But it's strange that you're not seeing images, especially if you're seeing them on other sites...

I did make a lot of changes last night, so you might just try quitting and restarting your browser, or holding Shift while you press the refresh/reload button. That should in theory force the images to download again. Trying another browser should most certainly fix the problem, but I use almost nothing but Safari on a Mac myself!

Hi, I like the new goneraw site, but I hope I will soon be able to use the feed like before the reconstruction!

Another thing is that the recipe pictures are kinda small...not sure if this depends on the camera.

Hi Ray, I usually use Firefox. Tried your suggestions. Looks better in Safari but wondering why Firefox is an issue.
thanks!

Myrtia: yes, I will definitely fix the feeds. We'll have lots o' feeds!
RawKidChef: yes, most of the images (both user and recipe) are really small right now. I did that because the big ones were causing big problems, I just have to go restore the sane ones. Hasn't been exactly 100% smooth over here. :)
Jill: Because of some changes I made last night, I think some browsers will have gotten confused. This shouldn't happen again in the future, I hope!

Apparently we had a few hiccups tonight. This should be solved. Sorry about that!
