initial thoughts
- they've gone portal again?
- search bar is a bit lost
- nice javascript on the 'mail' / 'messenger' / 'radio' tabs
- left nav is a bit shite

cam · 16-05-2006, 09:17

oh, apparently it won't work in safari (you still get a nice message though)

sub · 16-05-2006, 09:19

And FF (Mac) evidently.

oli · 16-05-2006, 10:13

Not keen, too cluttered - left nav is shite.

If someone as big as Yahoo can ignore users still on 800x600, does that mean the rest of us can start too?

So are they using platform detection? I thought Firefox on the mac was pretty much the same as PC.

Evidently not

All I see is a fuck you message, we don't support your browser.
Or should that be fuckyahoo?

Stickman · 18-05-2006, 07:44

That doesn't mean they're not just blocking mac users.

Nevermind. You're not missing much.

That's what I confidently announced in a meeting a month or two back.

Then I went and tested it and found that there are some Javascript differences between the two - and of course they were differences that would affect the application that the meeting was about.

oli · 18-05-2006, 07:55

haha oops

cam · 18-05-2006, 08:33

something i hadn't first picked up on - they've ditched 800x600 support with that redesign

cam · 18-05-2006, 08:58

more impressed with this each time i look at it - just tried the little 'tour' thing that pops down from the top of the screen (you might have to clear your cookies to get it back). it actually generates it on the fly using the DOM - the section of the screen it highlights is the live HTML rendered, not an image (to test this, resize your text and *then* take the tour). great stuff

Not a preview anymore it seems. The interactivity of it is nice, but I haven't yet gotten over the old design. I loved that one.

In its defense, it has seriously reduced scrolling (not that I care too much) and going totally tableless - markup looks nice, but the CSS and JS seems to all be embedded...oi.

Mr Fred · 18-05-2006, 09:30

Not sure if it was there yesterday, but under page options, you can 'switch to narrow layout'

Stickman · 18-05-2006, 10:48

When I tried that before it took me to the old design.

stickmus · 18-05-2006, 11:12

Guess they've fixed it then?

Stickman · 18-05-2006, 11:24

Haha very dry.

I meant it probably is a new feature because it wasn't working earlier (I think).
