Primarily, this upload pertains to a whole lot of design changes we've been working on. Out next series of uploads will be more focused on functionality and features (regarding the web site and the clipping tool).

I will reserve my comments until I see new CM on my monitor, currently at home, I'm on laptop and I'm not liking what I see, may be its just hard to change the perspective, may be my brain works better on the right, I might have to adjust.

I loved the pictures on flickr, wonderful.

does this mean the center is the new middle?

I love this new re-design. It feels like the layout I've always wanted. I really dig the way the color gradients are applied now! And Dashboard Mini is super stylish and fun to use.

You guys are kickin' ass up there!

Thanks for positive feedback! I should have mentioned that we also put out a new clipping tool that has an updated drop-down menu for accessing various parts of the site. You can install it here.

Hey pwright, i'm thinking that starting monday i'm going to suggest that we switch the middle with the center. maybe we'll even put the center in the middle

I thought Firefox was malfunctioning and immediately came to your page to see if this was a new upload.

Feels a bit weird but looks pretty nice. Awesome job as always.

Remember how I complained last time the colours were too bright. They're perfect now !!!!!

As well as the colors, the icons are beatiful too. I loved the new look & feel of the site.

Am I the last person to notice that if you hover the mouse over a clip title in the dashboard a pop up will tell you who clipped it, etc.? That is great!

I've just detected a minor problem, but it maybe related to my browser settings or something, I don't know.

When you go to a clipper's page, the profile text is not readable, because three or four characters from the right edge are not displayed, as if the text couldn't fit in the box. I tried it both with IE and Firefox and nothing changed. My screen resolution is 1024x768 and the problem remains same even if I maximize the browser window.

Has anyone experienced the same problem or is it just me?
10-8-2006 7:36 PM

Same here.
10-8-2006 7:39 PM

In addition to the clipped right edge the lower edge of the display is clipped as well.

I'm getting logged out repeatedly, It's been happening if I do 2 things, like make a comment, or save a clip, or pop something I am logged out on the 3rd or 4th thing. Now even though I am logged out if I use my clips from the menu it will take me to my page, but, I can't do anything unless I log in again. So it kinda remembers me, but doesn't.
And the site no longer recognizes me even if I check the remember me box.

Same here...I get have to log in again after a few I leave a few comments or pop some clips...

Very nice job Eric and Eric and Derek and Adam (in no particular order) - although if you get really philosophical and examine the first letters of your names, eliminating duplicates (since normally most of the attention is on Eric G., let's eliminate him as a duplicate) - it could spell EDA, which in Russian means 'food'. Anyone else on this site has figured this out?

The site does look and functions nicer, few little bugs here and there, but mostly very nice... and getting back to Eric G. - the headline for this clipmark - wishful thinking on your part

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone.

Invictus - we have fixed the profile spacing issue. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. The fix should be up by tonight.

coconutshell and 123clipmarks... thanks for the heads up on the login issue. We are looking into this right now.

I find I sort of miss the "Post this clip source to..." buttons on the clipping confirmation screen. I frequently used to use it to send a clip to Spurl. No big deal, though.

i want to be a "hot clipper"! me! pick me!
10-10-2006 10:41 AM

I was just about to comment that no one cares about the "hot clipper" thing. oops. At least one person cares very much.
10-10-2006 2:05 PM
egoldstein
neograv i'm rooting for you! you've got the hunger, passion and will (unlike my beloved yankees )

enbar, we're adding the "post this clip source to" feature back to the save confirmation window later today. sorry about that one.

recordsage, LOL!!!

I have been wondering about that too, sohil.

it could spell EDA, which in Russian means 'food'. Anyone else on this site has figured this out?
Wow, RecordSage, that was a good one. But we have one more alternative, without omitting any of the initial letters: EDAE means "time" in Nauru language, according to an online dictionary.
10-10-2006 9:42 PM
RecordSage
So, invictus, taking those 2 subtle but important languages in consideration, one can deduce that if one takes 'time' to use Clipmarks - one would gain 'food' for the mind. Is that an accurate assessment?
10-10-2006 9:59 PM
invictus
That's it! Excellent RecordSage, I absolutely agree.

I must admit that this group of techies are quite prompt at tending to and removing problems once they are aware of them. The Clipmarks team is a sharp group. Especially since some of the problem issues do require a little more effort when trying to be creatively innovative.

(I do realize that there is some grammatical incorrectness in the last sentence and this one - back down)
10-11-2006 2:23 PM

Ok, a whole bunch of updates just went live. A few of them pertain to comments above:

1) The problem with the profile being cut off has been fixed.

2) The logout problem is something we're still working on (should be fixed later today).

3) The "post this clip source to..." functionality has been added back to the post-save window.

4) The "ignore user" functionality is now working again (this one actually was mentioned on a different clip, but i figured i'd post it here too).

Insane as you drive me sometimes, GD (which is your desire, we all know), you're still one of my favourite people on Clipmarks (which is probably not your desire at all).

GD, I can't imagine anyone would want to ignore you.

You know, my clippers aren't rally my clippers anymore. They don't automatically show up their clips with mine. When I go to my page now only ,y clips shows up. I had to go to my"clippers" that I follow and go in by hand and add some of their clips to my page. The way it used to be was if I sent somebody to my page they would also automatically see the clips by my "recommended clippers" Now they have to click on each one independently and so do I . It is much more work and I must say that I haven't followed the people I follow as regular. Everybody gets a different day for me to read their clips and it is more likely that one person gets a whole lot of pops and comments from me on...

bunnicula
I just got a comments notification from Clipmarks. Did you guys just add that today?
10-13-2006 12:07 PM
ericw
bunnicula ... We actually always had that feature but it was a bit hidden. You can now easily set your default to not receive notifications of comments on new clips in the clip window, by clicking the "set default" link next to the checkbox. Hope that helps.
10-13-2006 12:19 PM
bunnicula
I feel silly now! Why would I have started to get them all of a sudden (I never changed any of my settings)?
10-13-2006 12:33 PM
ericw
No need at all to feel silly bunnicula. We realized that this featured was so under-noticed when a few users have asked us if it was possible to receive email notification of comments. So we decided to change the default of that checkbox in the clip window 2 days ago. However, when doing so, we also decided to provide an option for a user to change that default, in case anyone preferred the old way.
10-13-2006 12:36 PM
bunnicula
That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

123clipmarks
I'd be interested to see the list of clips most saved or added to their clips by other clippers. Because people can save without popping or commenting. Maybe not to list the people who saved it, because some people may uncheck the "pop" this clip box because they are just low profile people. I used to be a low profile person so I know they are around and some of them are here too.

Maybe even a most emailed clip. Because people who visit might email them self a clip but, never sign up. I do that for sites I don't register for if I really want to check something out in more detail later.

Just a thought.

Much ado about nothing....

No just kidding- I still have to testdrive thru all the new features but it does look good guys! I was wondering why my clips were all going private even tho I was under the pop-limit. After I hit the add-ons search for updates and saw the pop-limit lowered to 1k I understood.
I wonder how choppy the clips will be now?
