Membership status menu location

Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:55:15 +0000

Today when I wanted to check when my paid membership expires, I had some trouble locating the information. I intuitively clicked on my username on the top right. This is where such information would be accessed on other sites. On project-gc, however, it's in the home menu . To me, this was confusing.

menu height too large, doesn’t scroll ⇒ display cutoff

Thu, 26 Nov 2015 02:35:53 +0000

The height of, at least, the Support menu is too large for my (1024x768) laptop (let alone my netbook, which has 1024x600 or so).

When I run Firefox in normal mode, the cutoff point (last item I see) is “Top country finders” (on theright); when I use F11 to make it full-screen and hide the start menu bar, the last item is “Top Karma” (on the left). Scrolling down is impossible as the menu sticks when the site is scrolled.

Maybe a “styled” menu like the one you’re currently using has reached its limit, and a different form of presentation may help? This is not the first time limited display real estate (especially on laptops) has caused problems… the different form need not replace the current one (it could be choosable, and even not the default).

At the very least, a ▼ button that manually scrolls those menus could help… or, trivially, make the surrounding div into max-height:100% and overflow:scroll (except max-height is not accepted by all browsers, unfortunately… I really hate CSS, and I have to deal with it at the orkplace way too often…).

Menu items while not authenticated need adjusting?

While PGC has been locked out of groundspeak's API, I have been looking at what facilities PGC provides to non-authenticated users. There appears to be some inconsistancy, which seems more of a bug than a lack of a feature.

While non-authenticated these menu items are available:

Statistics:
Overview / Infographics / Top logged / Top finders / Top FTF / Top hidden / Logs per date / Hidden per date

Tools:
Coming events

It seems odd to me that Top logged does not require authentication but that top anything else does. Lonely Caches would seem to use the same data set as Top Logged, Top elevation uses less groundspeak data. If you want to force people to authenticate (eg for logging access) provide what you can but maybe deny the profilename field to non-authenticated users. (And now it is sounding like a feature request!)

At some stage could PGC do a review of what access can/should be provided for non-authenticated users.

Thanks,
Tom

PGC custom (optional) menu for paying members

Mon, 17 Nov 2014 08:24:05 +0000

I just read this post http://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=1016/additional-link-in-the-menubar and i realized that it is a relevant question. Therefor i suggest that (at least paying members) should be able to have an additional row with customized links to their PGC favorites.

My suggestion is that under the menu an additional and optional menu will show where paying members can customize a number of "shortcut" links to their favorites in PGC.
