HRGS & Our Town Story

Off-topic


Hi, there,
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for having me down to talk about OTS, both on Thursday evening and this morning at the Hub. It's great to see such an engaged, enthusiastic and active group, and it's a real privilege to be 'let in'!
There's been a couple of suggestions that we will work on implementing (if they're possible!), particularly the clarity of the tabs within the profiles (for Gallery, Videos, etc), as well as event notifications.
I look forward to seeing you all again soon!
Tim

Seraching

Feedback

Are you thinking on every page, or just clarifying it on the home page? The magnifying glass in the top right corner will always start a search, but we could increase its prominence, and relabel the one on the home page....maybe....or something else?

Let me chew that over, and I'll get back to you....

Hint: Drag the orange pegman to see the Streetview image...

Feedback


The pegman appears in the lower bottom side of the Google map for an image, but remember, the map will only appear on an image if you have set its location in the image details....

Index Problem

Bug Reports

Yes, this is a bug, but the page you are presented with is the index - even if that link was working properly, it would only reload the page. I will fix this. 

New Society / Group facilities

Feedback

You will only see them when you add or edit a photo...

Videos

Feedback

If you are in your own profile, you would see any videos that you have uploaded - if you haven't uploaded any, you won't see any - the same as with photos. 
If you're on the video page for a place, and a video has been 'placed' nearby, you will see it in the video tab.

It looks like it is because of that; to be honest, this page looks awful - I will redesign it!

Looking for Mason/Rowlands information...

Local Genealogy

I am looking for information on George Mason and Ellen Rowlands, who married in Merthyr Tydfil in 1923. I know a fair amount about Ellen (aka Elizabeth), but George is a bit of a mystery; any clues would be much appreciated...!

Screen size not taken into account

Bug Reports

The whole site should be much more responsive to screen size now. I'm still working on the mobile views, which are better, but not perfect. If you're using a mobile, landscape is way better than portrait - and you can see the photos better, too!
