Comments on the New Spanish Dict Site
It seems the new site has gone from Beta to Alpha... Anyway, I am being directed to it automatically in both Firefox and IE.
It used to be that you could see right on the Q&A page whether someone asking a question was new to the site, what their reputation was, etc. This was very helpful just to make a response. It would be great to put that back without having to click on their user name, get a new page to look at, and then having to go back to the previous page.
If anyone else has similar (hopefully positive) suggestions, please post them.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Does anyone else not see the menu of icons for bolding, quotes, images, etc. in the new version? I am not seeing it in Firefox. I found out through experimentation, however, that you can still make links or post pictures if you do it manually since there are no icons to click on.
Evidently they looked carefully at all the comments and suggestions that were made during the beta period, and decided to do the complete opposite!
Sorry Christopher but this situation is N U T S.
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the feedback. When you are browsing the Q&A, you can hover your mouse over the user's avatar to see their stats. We wanted to reduce some of the clutter when browsing, but still make it available if you wanted to see it.
Thanks, Chris
It's almost a little bit too streamlined... a little cold and unfriendly, would be hard to find certain things if I was a new user.
I am on the new site. I seem to be having a problem with voting. When I click to vote on a question or answer nothing seems to happen.
Well, some things seem to be working better now lol I can vote for people's posts without worrying that I am giving them negative reputation points
The menu of icons directly above the answer box, including bold, hyperlink and picture link all display correctly as do the accents below. It would be great to have the emoticons back again lol
Thank You Chris that you are working on some of these things to improve them! inevitably any new site has teething problems but in retrospect/with the gift of hindsight perhaps it would better not to get rid of the old before the new is working well lol
TBH, I don't like it, it's buggy as hell! Fix the bugs before you put it into Alpha. Ill get used to it, but for the love of God fix the bugs first!
Voting isn't working for me, either. I also don't see any pictures, just little red X's.
Further comments:
As noted, when one votes for someone it isn't recorded on the page, and sometimes shows negative.
When you select a special character from below, you get two characters instead of 1. A bargain, to be sure, but inconvenient. I like though that the characters are bigger
It took me out in the middle of an answer, too. I see nothing on the right side to do with the site. The votes are not sticking. . I just voted up Nicole, but it didn't stick. but the vote I gave to Jeremias did not register and he still has -1.
Why do I get two instances of any tilde letter chosen using my mouse?

This site is not ready for prime time. Should have been tested a lot longer before trashing the old site. PLEASE restore the old site until this stuff works!
HI everybody, please have a look at this thread:
