Site News
Hello, OTPN readers! We have done some new improvements to the site lately, so we wanted to let you know what's new and what's next! Here you are an overview of what has changed:
1) TOOLBAR REMOVED
As you know, OTPN had a nice-looking toolbar at the bottom of the site. It had many features, and it added some 'color' to the site. After some feedback, though, we noticed that it wasn't very used by our guests, and we noticed that many of its features were already present on our sidebar. Therefore we decided to get rid of it.
2) SITE NAME CHANGE
Did you notice that we changed the name of the site? Yes, it's a very subtle, but important news. It's not called anymore Orlando Theme ParkS News, but Orlando Theme Park News.
3) OPEN LINKS IN A SEPARATE WINDOW
Now you don't have to right-click each page to visit a link that we post in our updates! You just have to click on the link, and it will automatically open in a new window, while you will still be able to read through our site.
4) FLUID WIDTH
The width of our site now automatically adjusts itself depending on your computer's resolution!
5) THEME PARKS' MUSIC MOVED
Did you like listening to the theme parks' music that was located on our sidebar? Then you surely miss it, as it is gone from there. But don't worry! We just had t move it. It is now located on our "DOWNLOAD" page!
6) COMMENT SECTION IN SINGLE PAGES FIXED
Now you can post a comment from every post. Before, there was a glitch to the system that prevented guests from posting a comment from single pages.
7) NEW CONTACT FORM
Check out our new CONTACT FORM that was updated today! It's much easier to use, and it looks nice!
8) NO RIGHT-CLICK FEATURE
Since some third-party sites were copying pictures and info from our site WITHOUT giving the proper credit, we decided to disable the right-click feature. It is okay to copy and paste something from our site, but it should always be done with a link back to the source.
What's next?:
You decide what's next! Just take our new survey, starting February 1st, 2011!
Please, let us know what you think in the comments!
I posted stuff from your site on a forum, but didn't give credit. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about that, Anonymous! it can happen sometimes to forget. I am not happy with those who REPEATEDLY and DELIBERATELY copy and paste without a link...
ReplyDeleteSo, no problem :-)
Great Work Big Samu!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut i prefer the "S" in the title of the site even because the park URL still http://orlandoparksnews.blogspot.com/
but i really Like the Double Line Title!!!
Unfortunately you must remove the link with OTPN's Windows Theme because it was removed from the host (they say for illegal use of something copyrighted even if I'm sure to don't use anything with copyright!!!!)
The Right Click Feature isn't disabled: it advise you to remember to put a proper credit for the content extracted from the site!!!
I agree with you for the need to give a Cesar what belong to Cesar (ahahah, or OTPN instead of Cesar!!!!)
It's absolutely awesome the feature for open the link page in another windows... it's really what I'm looking for!!!
Thanks for the comment, Bigfoots! Glad you like the improvements!!
ReplyDeleteI love opening posts in another window! Good feature.
ReplyDeleteI HATE that the links open in a separate window. I like to open multiple tabs in one window and I really hate not having the option because right click is disabled.
ReplyDeleteI too am unhappy about the links (read an entire post, or view older posts) opening in new windows. I check in 2 or 3 times a week, so I can easily open & close more then 5 windows. IMO this seems unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteOther then the window thing :) I do enjoy this site and appreciate all the work & time that goes into keeping the rest of us "In the loop"!
Disabling right-clicks makes it harder when the pictures don't load. I have to refresh the entire page rather than just the picture.
