| Not enough space for term explanation in beta design | Sep 2, 2005 |
Sorry if this has been said before, but I think there is not enough space now for the term explanation by the asker, as it is squashed on the left and given as much prominence as details of the asker. I appreciate that the latter are of interest, but couldn't they be put at the top as they used to be? Neither do I like the fact that the info no longer fits comfortably onto the page and you have to use the scroll bar at the bottom. Also, why is the same colour used for the question and the answer...

The whole page now looks the same, and it is not as easy as in V3 to differentiate between the different sections (question, answer summary, answers).
Just a few thoughts. ▲ Collapse

| | | | | New KudoZ answer summary box | Sep 2, 2005 |
I have a huge problem with the new summary box with the big letters. The old one was fine. BIG doesn't mean legible! It's too hard to read, too hard on the eyes. Have you ever noticed how, when you're reading along in a certain font and a big subhead comes along, your eye actually skips the subhead? The eye can't take that kind of jumping back and forth.
And the centering is hard to read, too.

I beg of you, let's go back to the old box. It wasn't broke; it didn't need to be fixed! ▲ Collapse

Yes, I fixed it and removed your post - sorry for not letting you know. Thanks for your help!

In memoriam | Are you calling me a liar? | Sep 3, 2005 |
The following is copy-pasted directly from something I just saw when looking at a question. I'm sorry if the bug has already been reported, but this thread is a bit long to read all the way through.
The asker has directed this question specifically to ProZ.com members who:
... are native speakers of English (You have reported that you are.)
Although you do not meet the criteria, you may suggest a translation if you like.

| Selecting next page | Sep 3, 2005 |
I reported this bug before, but it still persists and my posting on it has been removed as far as I can see:
When the Kudoz main page displays My Languages I cannot go back to previous pages to display older questions. Irrespective of whether I select a page number, next or last, it always displays the first page again, only this time without any options to select another page.

I am sorry, but can anybody tell me why I keep on being asked to grade this n$%£^ question?
I have done it 3 times already and I am about to do it again!!
Cheers,
Andrea
PS
I have just checked and the question seems to have been "graded", so why did I get the e-mail?

The same thing has been happening to me since yesterday.

I have found that the message is correct (i.e. "you do meet the criteria") when I first click to see the full question, and then changes to the opposite (as you report) when I click to see the page on which I can reply.

| Do the "Swiss Germans" speak German? | Sep 3, 2005 |
SwissTell wrote:
I am not a "native German speaker" and therefore do not declare it. I am a SWISS GERMAN native speaker, and there is no slot for this, just as there is nothing for AUSTRIAN GERMAN. In short:
if you want to become bureaucrats and create more red-tape, at least do it in a democratic fashion, treating all nationalities in the same way.
COMMENT: You should probably call youself a native German speaker for roughly the same reason that Americans and Australians (etc.) call themselves native English speakers, i.e. familiarity and fluency in a language that is virtually indistinguishable from "shriftdütsch". I sometimes say, only half-jokingly, that the "German-speaking" Swiss can speak German, but they don't.
SWISSTELL: BTW SwissTell: your website and CV seem to be "broken" in your ProZ profile.
JASON: Perhaps consider adding a "dialect" option to one's native language, as is already available now when replying to a KudoZ question.

I consider myself not a contribuant for years, but I believe to join th community more than 2 years ago.
I was always satisfied with how many colleagues gave their opinion tom a Kudoz question, and I don`t understand why you had to change it. (You know, sometimes the older things are more worth.)

If the answer suits Kudoz information is unnecessary: Looking up the profile behind is enough.
- in total: the presentation is TOO complicated. We don't need it so complicated. So much options and conditions... Just leave it as it was and don't complicate it more! One will not take the time to read all the options !!! ▲ Collapse

Hello ProZies,
I'm not sure if this was mentioned earlier.
I find it is too much "yellow" and "green" for the eye!
Reading through would be much easier with a "white" background.
Thank you.
