Great website! And I love the interactive approach. How about the use of a cool favicon? It looks so cool in your bookmarks toolbar. The Foto's button in the menu is partly covered by the sign in to-stay-up-to date.... button in Internet explorer 7 and Firefox 3.0.7. Might be a common problem in Drupal. Great job! But then... the girls deserve nothing less:-) A loving fan.
awe. thank you. i noticed that issue in firefox too. i thought it might be a screen size issue too. we'll check it out. i'm still testing things myself. it's a work in progress and a lot of fun!

Just a quickie to say that the new website looks great and it's good to have it back.
I've noticed a minor cosmetic issue that you may already have picked up. When viewing the photos, the NEXT and PREVIOUS disappear off the bottom of the screen as the photos resize (I'm using Firefox on XP). The scroll bar is focused on the screen below the photos so you are unable to move the pictures (just the screen below).
I have a rather odd question about the 'O Shit' written all over a drumkit in the 'Photo section': what's the inside story? Was it something unspeakable the dog did? I'm really intrigued:-)...Maybe this is more of a 'Photo' forum section question... but my curiousity got the best of me...Next time, I'll behave: promise!
i know sosgemini mentioned having the "quote at the bottom" when you use the reply funtion... also when the reply is shown it doesnt show any link to the original post so it can be somewhat confusing as to who is saying what to whom!
it's fantastic to see wendy and lisa responding to questions/comments but can be a little confusing if you cant see which comment they, or indeed anyone else, are responding to.
i think i have got so use to twitter and its "in reply to" - it helps old brains like mine keep up with things! :-)
Might I make a humble suggestion: how about getting notified through mail when a reply is being published to your post? (if that's possible). I think this works with WordPress, but not sure about Drupal. Renata: sorry if this means even work for you or Roger:-) But we love you for it!
thanks for your suggestions. we are still a young forum. so...we'll see what we end up implementing or not. i have to be selective and make sure we make good $$ decisions and not just do nice-to-haves but actual need-to-haves. you know what i mean?
I'm with you. I've noticed other fan forums, managed by good souls like yourself, leave it open to forum members to give a small donation through paypall and the likes. I'd be happy to contribute myself and believe other loving fans no doubt will do the same. Maybe that will help? Especially in this day and age...
Thanks again for all the hard work, the patience and the inspiration.
Since this seems like the place to ask for wishlist items, may I add one?
Can I get a boyfriend who is both stylish and geeky? Oh, and one who is daring enough to enjoy a movie date double bill of Casper Noe and Lars Von Trier's latest?
Big thanks as always for your hard work! Am loving the new no-brainer reply view! Great stuff. I may have to steal your "propagate our madness" line :-)
there is a 'reply' link associated with each comment. not sure what you mean...since i didnt have to scroll up right now, i just clicked on reply right in the body of your comment. is that what you meant? or something else?
Oh ok, I thought that was meant to reply to that particular comment ( as I am replying to you now ) but when you want to just add to a topic generaly then you should use the bigger blue thingy at the top op each page to add a reply.
Ok so my former post was a reply to yours, for this one I used the add new comment thing at the top of the page, I don't know if there's any difference.
had to disable footers this last week. we have been bombarded with spam bots or spam people posting sales links, etc. will re-enable when it's under control.

May I suggest a couple things for the site(the choice is up to Renata or whoever in charge):
1.PM to other members
2. Chat (opened when a mod,or someone designated) or a designated night to talk to all you fine people in real time.
3.Shout box
Thanks

we've made some improvements under the hood.
-created an easier way to visual replies in the forums.
-created an RSS feed http://www.wendyandlisa.com/news/feed
-added a SHARE widget via 'AddThis' at the end of each full news/blog posts, so we can propagate our madness faster and wider thru out the interwebs!
all in an effort to spread the word yo!
still working on some other things...

I have one small thing, a add reply button at the bottom of the page, so you don't have to scroll up after reading to reply... would be nice!

So there is a diffenrence, see?
June 10th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Could we please have a function where when someone posts a new reply it bumps the thread to the top rather than go searching
Hope you dont mind me suggesting
TY :)

That would be so good, I am new here but is it just me or is it sometimes hard to find the new posts?
