Re: I like it a lot

Thanks for the feedback cgc0202...

I wanted to write to you personally a long time ago when I first saw it, because I liked the previous format a lot. It did not seem to have the packaged "Tiki" look I found in the other themes.

Yeah, the "old" site was based on the geo theme. The only thing I didn't like was the color scheme — way too muted. But it was my first-ever TIKI, so I decided to start easy.

Sometimes, I have to spend hours just to find the CSS specification I wanted to change. Then, I have to do that for each. I was desperate, and I wanted to request if you could share your stylesheet, it looked much cleaner.


I totally agree. Having a 60K+ CSS is, IMHO, overkill. Why there are different body styles for each featuer (wiki, articles, forums, etc.) is beyond me. My suggestion was, if designers really wanted that level of control, then each feature should have its own CSS (e.g., basic_wiki.css, basic_forum_css, etc.) then you would simply cascasde the styles that you really wanted and needed.

I am more fond of A-Z listing, and if possible a directory focused listing, as Gary already stated.

Thanks for the input. Users can always click the column headers to sort by that column. The problem with the SEARCH function, is that (IMHO) TIKI's search is not very useful. There's no way to do complex boolean searches, which means you invariable get too many or too few hits.

Jagged presentation
Again, this is another preference. I think it would be cleaner to have both the "photos" of the same size, the way they are presented.


Actually, this is something we discussed for a quite a while for our redesign. Since the human eye can easily detect slight imperfections, it was decided to purposely make the photos different sizes — this way you would actually look at them.


Thanks again for looking (and commenting).
