Critique the new site

[DJ Wolf]

just go to http://new.digitalgunfire.com, click on Music Database and find an artist to look at. I'm not going to give any more instructions because, if you can't figure it out, it is not intuitive enough :)

The first couple of times it didn't work. Turns out Amduscia only has one "i" in there name not three. Don't ask. Works great when you learn how to type. ;->

Meh :) If you look at the actual errors they are for doing things like using <A> instead of <a> which I don't believe any browser in the world would error on.

I'm a little pedantic when it comes to web standards and I'm only ever happy when w3c says pass. Are all 1794 errors for using upper case a tags? There aren't that many links are there? I didn't actually look at them I'll be honest.

[Shirow]

Majority of them are that kind of thing, take a look. Some are for opening with <Div> and closing with </div>

I didn't see any of any consequence

Still not too thrilled with the new color scheme but it is not my site, is it? That being said however, the site seems to be great, as usual.
I appologize for stealing the following from a different thread but I figured it beloned here in the critique and not in the launch of the new site thread.

A couple of suggestions:
1. On an iphone, the menu is wrapped, so one of the items is displayed like "Community Database"

Does that mean that DG is working on the iPhone again? For a time I had listened to it on my way to work via the iPhone and connecting it to my stereo but then it stopped working for whatever reason. I know you might be thinking that I should be able to check but I am not in a place with either wireless internet or my cellular provider has any service.
Sorry if this has already been addressed but I did try and lurk some before I decided to ask:
Another question is on the main page. The song that is currently playing only shows the name of the group and the song. I am not sure if this is something new that is going to stay but the last time I saw it with the name of the group, song and album was when "Informatik - A Matter Of Time - From the album Nymphomatik" was up there a few days ago.

i kinda dislike that you cannot see anymore how many requests are queued and by whom
also, it does not show the request's specifics when currently played (like requested by whom)


it was kind of fun to see who had what kind of fav song at the moment
(for all who were not sure, i keep requesting "tanz zwo drei vier" until my ears start bleeding)

Oh so it was you. I thought already that it was weird that TZDV was requested so often. Good thing its an awesome song though.

[Shirow]

I will work on some of these requests.. super busy right now, just started a new job so I haven't been able to spend much/any time on DG unfortunately..

[xeno]

another suggestion: an off topic music forum... right now, the black metal, worst song in the world and what not are distributed across most of the forums...

[Shirow]

I can grant that request easily!

i too was wondering who the culprit was =P 
i just bought the MP3s of FH2 & FH3 last week and i must say i'm glad that i didn't pay the exorbitant prices for the physical copies. i absolutely love the first album in its entirety, but i'd happily keep a few tracks off of both 2 & 3 and trade the rest for something else. But that's just me.

Anyway, my real comment was to support Creeps about the song requests. i definitely miss it as well. It seems very, i dunno, impersonal? Clinical? without it. i throw my vote in for bring that back.

Also, how in the universe do i cancel a request?

Could you clarify?  I still don't understand how to cancel a request either, even with this.
