Elektron-Users

Whether you're loving the site, have a case of the 'meh's', or having problems, this is the place to share. At the heart of Elektron-Users 1.6 was the intent of making the site more attractive, simpler, less bloated than the previous version, fixing prior bugs, adding user request, and updating the core code. We tested 1.6 against the following browsers: Safari, Firefox, Camino, IE 6, and Firefox (xp). Thats not to say they're aren't any bugs, just none so glaring that they prevented us from launching the site.

We still have a growing list of site improvements that will be implemented as we get to them. Here's a few in the works:

• Continue to improve the overall design elements
  [li]Possibly rework the Paginate/Pagenav
  [li]clean up CSS code & work towards W3C standards
  [li]Private Messaging templates to be edited so that the left column is narrower
  [li]Edit 'in-between' pages to inherit site stylesheet (e.g. after you log in, the page that says 'Logging you in ...' should be styled)

Here's bit more detail on some of the new sections we've added.

Artist Features:

Artist Features was created to highlight and celebrate the Elektron community. Artist will be picked at random, so don't be surprised to hear from us eventually.

Infobank:

A central feature of the new site is the Infobank, which is intended to be a central repository containing documentation, frequently asked questions, tips, and little-known lore about Elektron machines.

Over the last year, the forum has accumlated many thousands of posts. Within those posts, many gems of knowledge lie buried. If only a few intrepid miners would be willing to uncover them. If only ...

Do you feel adventurous enough to delve into the depths of the forums? If so, please let us know! You could have an influence on the Infobank, and make elektron-users.com 1.6 a much better place

Radio:

The new Elektron-Users Radio was created...

Contest Radio:

All submissions to the current contest will be added to the Contest Radio playlist as soon as we can get to it. Your entry should be posted within 24hrs. of the submission.

When submitting please supply the following info: Artist, Song title, Contest, and Month

Your submission will still be available in the appropriate contest category in the Downloads section.

Haven't tested the various new features... But the refreshing look and the 3d-pixel style logo looks cool.

Makes me more pround to be an elektron-user.

Appreciate the work.

/M.Q.

good work guys!

i'll post bugs & comments as they come along...

first one: the (temporary) page after logging in or posting could be restyled like the rest of the site

how is the radio thing gonna work? can we upload our trax?

Great new features! but I have to say I liked the old look better :-D

Damn! This new design is the best, plus it looks good on the Wii too! Nice work guys! Are there any plans on incorporating some AJAX features into the sites design later on?

divi -> upload a polished, complete track and we'll put it on the playlist.

mr e -> what sort of ajaxian features do you have in mind? the current site uses no ajax at all.

Posted in Enapa's 'Fresh!!' but I'll repeat it here:

Good job gentlemen !

The contest radio is really well done and the 'cube' logo adheres pretty much to the Elektron philosophy.

Respect.
