Cool, yeah, I missed that, fair enough.

No problem,

Actually the fall back website should satisfy all of the posters who dislike the main site as it answers most of their criticism about immediate access to content and organistion of layout? I wonder if it does? Hmmm!

Remember this is supposed to be a temporary website to provide information and updates, and provide some fun, while we concentrate on the more important task of releasing the A1-X1000.

It could serve that purpose, yes. You could put a link to it in the footer of the fancy site, like other sites have accessibility modes down there.

Generally, a visitor to a site should be able to make out what the site is about and how to navigate it by scaning the front page in a couple of seconds. Those first seconds are so important, othervise you will loose the visitor if he gets lost.

Well, I kind of agree... Perhaps, a couple of measures to improve the site could be:

* The "Click menu thingy" could be moved to the left side so it gets easier to notice faster
* and on the "Contact us" and "Register" page, try a darker font color so it gets easier to read the text.

Otherwise, as I said earlier I like the overall site pretty much as it is... it serves its intended purpose now in the beginning at least, IMHO.

EDIT: typo

i like the comment "Download Internet Explorer 8 - not recommended, but it's there if you want it." the question is who would?

Don't know if it has been mentioned before but for me just the bubble for the News item "lights up" when moving the mouse over it, not the others (although they all work when clicking them).

I'm using Firefox (Iceweasel) 3.5.8 in Debian Squeeze.

Anyone who needs IE and is currently on IE6 should in most cases download IE8. Safer, better layout etc.

Are you at all interested in this product? 1. Not at all.

So why the hell do you feel the need to keep posting about it then ?

If you are not interested then don't contibute to this thread.

For example I have ZERO interest in AROS so do not bother to read those threads. I do not spend hours writing about how crap Aros is in them. So why do you keep posting in threads that do not interest you ?

Jesus, the guy gave his honest opinion. I may not agree with the way he expressed it but it's still his opinion.

For what its worth my impression of BillE's objection is more centered around the way its being expressed repeatedly and why one might be doing such. It would have taken less effort to just write plainly his opinion. The extra effort tokai expended seems to be for the purpose of agitating others.

I agree that there are people who repeatedly stated their opinion but I do not read Tokai's comment like that. He stated it once, some, you included, asked him some questions and he answered them. It's not quite the same as going "It's crap" "no it isn't because x, y, z" "no it's crap crap crap", which is what happens some other times.

I give tokai some credit for being honest in his exchange after being asked questions, no doubt. But I still see the original post as being meant to bait and considering we are a hobby website I can see why some people would be put off by the "flourishments" of saying something is "uber crap" and "if the idea is to make it as bad as possible to get attention then this is probably working great. Even I wasted my time here to respond about it, as you can see".

I'll leave it at that.

I can't believe this thread is still going.

Has anyone stopped to consider that what the website is showing us IS the MAP!!

It is clearly AmigaOS5 workbench!!

Obviously better than MacOSX.

And you thought it was vaporware.

I have to wonder, when will the volume of your analyses of the intention of other people's posts exceed the number of posts that have anything to do with the topic at hand?

That was actually meant in a rather positive sense. It might be an actual concept that might work (IMHO, it actually does work).

Something that was bound to happen is that some people threat honest comments from people which are not OS4 users with lots of prejudice. This is a bit sad, too. You, for example, took my answers to you (which were mere answers to your questions) and used them to prove your prejudice about my initial post.

But I don't blame you; that's probably something which always will happen here after all the years of flamewars. I only wrote about the website not about OS4 or any other OS4-related product. Certainly I have a rather non-favorable opinion about them, too; but that's off-topic, isn't it? I didn't mentioned anything about that when I commented about the website as it was and is *completely* unrelated. So why force that into the discussion?

Anyway, if all the OS4 users and X1000 fans think the site is good then maybe it is working.

As we can see with this many posts here, it's a topic which can stir up quite some conversation. That is a good thing, no? So, how about some global poll? Might help to get a more diverse overview of the opinions and point the webmaster to specific things that need improvements. As someone wrote earlier in this very thread: OS4 users who don't like the site might rather not write anything at all. But they might vote.

Something like that:
* The site is perfect as it is
* It is good, but needs more content
* It is good, but needs more pictures
* The site is okay, but needs work in many categories
* I would prefer entirely different and more simple and content-centric site
etc.

tokai

Btw, here is one of my posts on noprimateszone.org about its design breakage (there are probably more, just too lazy to find them):
http://www.morphzone.org/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6699&forum=14

As you can see I always put my opinions in a rather direct way. I don't have time to package everything in honey and milk to make it sound more digestible. Actually noprimateszone.org sucks so much that I entirely switched to amigaworld.net for my entertainment (as in having fun participating in a community). The topics on amigaworld.net are just a bit less MorphOS-centric, but shall that stop me from commenting on them?
