What y'all think?
I like it. The only thing I would change right now is at the bottom where it has a bunch of links to DR Radio 141 I would put the 'latest post' list.
-
What just happened? I left for a few minutes, and when I came back it was all different. Is this the change we were promised? :)

hehe I was thinking the same thing
easier to look at and get around
-
??? :'( I goota be honest. IT SUCKS! where is the tab for the MB podcast mp3 download? I realy miss the hot items on the forum on the front page.
-
Mornin'!
We are still working on the new layout, so there might be some "stuff" that looks weird.
The bottom of the front page will be populated with posts from different categories.
Keep comments comin'!
Thanks.
-
I like the cleanliness of the top, banner menu. (Home..New Articles.....Reviews) More professional looking than the little "cells"
-
Looks good...but.... I also miss the "recent posts" being prominent in the center of the page as well as the link to the MB and DRTV blogs. The attraction of the old site was that it tried not to do too much on one page. I do like the style of the page very much, but there may be too much on the one page.
All that being said, you are doing an excellent job. Sometimes designing things for the public can be a thankless job. EVERYBODY's got an opinion!
-
Didn't expect DRT to go all "hope-y change-y" on me, but it made me "feel good" so I like it. A few refinements here and there may be in order, but the change is clean and looks good. ;D
-
Nice, job well done.
-
Holy Cow! That took me by surprise! :o
Give me a moment to put it up again in another tab.
There.
Nice! :)
Bright. Easy on the eyes. Have all the inportant "reflex" buttons up in the yellow banner. MB's radio link in the upper corner, next to the big vid panel., Cool vid panel. New section for 2 admandment news. Shooting sports section (Hey where's the Rimfire Action Sports column? ???)
It's very easy to navigate!
I like it!
I do have one suggestion, and it might scare you, but how about a blog section for Marshalette? She always has something to say.
-
Aside from the lack of the new forum posts and a counter that counts down the days to the November 2010 and 2012 elections..........very nice job Marshal. :D
Thank you.
-
Marshall,
Please put the recent posts spot back. Or tell me where it is. Going through the forum tab is a bit much.
Other wise its OK. I liked the Hunter video about his new book I am a Bob Lee Swaggert aka Bob the Nailer fan.
Let us know about DTV plans for the NRA convention this year.

Took me by surprise, but after looking around for a minute I found everything I was looking for.

It worked on you ;D
Welcome to the forum, stop by the New Member thread and introduce yourself.

Marshal,
On the DR Radio page I would put the 'listen here' 'download mp3' right under the picture. That way it would show without scrolling. JMHO
-
I do not like the new format.
Looks like its good for advertising?
-
Ulmus... You know as well as I do that Michael is enough of a wind bag.. you do not need me in here too huffing and puffing... :D
And we will try to start early and get the NRA convention plans down and more concrete.. real hard for us as our "plans" always start out good..but can change faster than Superman at the last minute..
( Thats what happens when you but a small fish in a big bowl. ;D)
But we will talk with Michael at Shot about it and see what we can do about getting together...
-
Oh yeah... Thanks for all the input... Glad everyone is honest.. We appreciate all you have to say.
Marshal has been up for ....lets see........29 straight hours working solid ( less 15 minutes to eat AT HIS DESK no less ::) )...
I went to bed at around 3 and when I got up at 8 this morning.. he was still at it. ( I actually thought I had maybe gone "Bed Pig" on him and crowded him out of bed again.. That happens sometimes.. :-\
But nope! Once he starts doing something with this large of a magnitude .. he usually has to keep going.
His new coffee called *Wake The F*** Up!!* ( some of you have got the email I sent with the picture I took) ;D has been working. It definitely has some power punch caffeine in it cause he is still nose to the computer grindstone.
I think I'm going to have to kick into "nag mode".. He is going to be sick if he doesn't shut down for awhile ..get a hot shower and get his ass to bed! Room is dark... bed is turned down with flannel sheets on it.. Nice and quiet in the house............
I'm gonna have to get mean with him.. ( I'd try other measures to get him in there but honestly I think he's too tired and its the last thing on his mind right now.. so I'd fail... and I hate to fail at that! haha ;) ) so I'm stuck with being bossy... ;D
-
Well, since I've a;ready been thanked for being honest....I don't like it! I have never liked having something changed on me that I have no control over and was working fine before it was changed.
JMNSHO

PS: I guess I'll just have to live with it since it's the best place on earth, cept for home with my wife and cats.

PARTY OUT IN MY BARN!!! Marshal just went to bed and is already sound asleep.. !
He'll be out for hours!! ;D ;D

awwwhhh~~~(http://www.rightnation.us/forums/style_emoticons/default/comfort.gif) Don't be gawumpy Ellis.... It will be aw-wite
It'll be comfortable like an old sock to you before you know it.. :-*
((I hate change too..so I really DO know how you feel) ;) But in this business.. with competition of other sites constantly trying to edge you out.. if you don't keep it fresh and new and things happening all the time you quickly become stagnant and people become so used to whats there that they become blind..
Trust me.. it would be wonderful if we could just put something up there and never touch it again.. but it just doesn't work that way...
Play around with it awhile.. I think you will come to like it. :)
-
There somebody goes again! All I get is "CHANGE" and promises!
Richard
-
One thing I liked about the old home page that I miss on this one is the format of the latest post on the forum. On the old one there was both the subject and what section it was posted in. The new one as far as I can tell only has the subject, not the catagory, I miss that.
Also I don't understand or get the Tag Cloud in the bottom right.
Just my .02
-
Defently a Job Well Done to the sleep deprived Marshal and M'ette with all the changes they have done,
I like how the Gun Blogger Round-Up with the RSS feed update's all in the one place ( I never noticed it before )
honestly I go straight to the forum instead of the site
and most my suggestions i have would be related to the forum :)
do you want the list ;) hehe
-
:o Surprise Surprise Suprise :o
Nice !
-
At first I thought Marshall forgot to turn something back on again. ;)
Seems cluttered to me.
I did like the recent forum activity layout better on the old page.
Guess we'll have to get used to it.
forget it, I'm going to another forum :-*
-
Looks good! I like change. As long it is TECH change. Damn Grumpy Old F'ers - It'll be fine in a couple of days and you won't even notice
-
JSC3ATLCSO, she asked and I responded! That does not necessarily make me a DGOF!
Richard
PS: When you get my age you also might be a DGOF!
-
:( ALRIGHT, WHERE ARE THE ARCHIVES OF DR RADIO & COWBOY ACTION RADIO EPISODES?? PLEASE TELL ME I CAN STILL LISTEN TO THEM??!! ??? ??? :'( THAT'S ALL THAT GETS ME THRU THE DAY SOMETIMES!!
-
I like the layout. Seems like most stuff can be found quickly.
I have not found a spot for the "recent post" to the forum. This was a good feature. It was sort of an interactive chat session for the topics folks wanted to gab about....not necessarily the most vital or worthwhile ones...just the ones that had us yakking about.
If I missed the place, please point me at it.
Thanks and good job
-
looks weird. I miss the part that shows the last 5 or 6 most recent forum posts.
-
The...Topics on the DRTV Forum....is there.. in more than one place. it is on the right hand side on the front page.. it is on the inner pages .. it is on every section that you click on...
Look again. :)

M'ette, saw that, but on the old one it said what section the latest post was from, i.e. Down Range, Tactical Rifle and Carbine, Etc.
That is what I miss.
Not that I'm complaing or anything. I appreciate all the work you guys do. Thank you.
-
:( ALRIGHT, WHERE ARE THE ARCHIVES OF DR RADIO & COWBOY ACTION RADIO EPISODES?? PLEASE TELL ME I CAN STILL LISTEN TO THEM??!! ??? ??? :'(
Yes, please point us in the right direction. ???
-
Marshal'ette, can you direct me to MB's Blog...it isn't as easy to find as before.
Richard AKA DGOF
-
ELLIS, scroll down, it's on the right hand side, click on the title of the blog post or you will have to scroll past a weeks worth of MB's blog to get to the "Day by Day " cartoon ;D

Thanks Tom, found it!

Is it me, or does it only show the newest topics that have been started, not the most recent posts?

HAHA.. I already am at the ripe ole age of 29. I just like technology. I'm always getting new tech toys and such. I like the cleaner look of the front page and the forum.. While I was use to the old. Knew how to navigate it and all. This wasn't a hard transition.

Marshal changed it for you~~ you big ole' babies... ;D
Like it better now? ::)
***Mumbling to myself***~~~((((((I swear I would think they all have been taking lessons in nagging.. must have learned it somewhere.. Now "WHERE" would be a good question cause I know for a fact that none of these men got that from listening to a woman.. Nope!! NEVER!!! Cause when we talk we don't nag.. we just make "suggestions"" several times( until we get our way).. ;)
Hmmmm~~ I wonder how they learned to do that and have Marshal just jump to it............ (http://www.cascity.com/howard/animations/ummm.gif) I think I may have to try to somehow find out.... and use it to my advantage... )))) (http://www.cascity.com/howard/animations/77.gif)......

Thank you. I feel much better now,..... 8) Good to have it "mixed up a bit" just when I had the old page figured out,...
Good deal.

On second thought, I liked it better the other way. Could you please change it back? ;D ::)
-
::) YEAH, I SECOND THAT MOTION!! :) I'M STILL LOOKING FOR CAS RADIO & DR RADIO ARCHIVES :'( :'(
(MAN, I CAN JUST IMAGINE THE BOSS LADY'S ANSWER :-[
-
Not to be picky, well too picky, but the Latest on the DRTV Forum seems to show the last 5 or so Posts, not tha last 5 or so Topics. so if one topic has the last 5 posts, it will be the only topic on the list...
Is that correct?

-
Folks,
Sorry for ignoring you....
I have made a to do list based on some of your comments. Don't give up on me yet.... ;D
The archives will return, plus a lot of other content and in a new package.
The old radio archive is still available here....
http://www.downrange.tv/podcast.htm
All the changes we have made is not because we wanted to "fix something that is not broken". It is all done to prepare for the 2010 chores and to be more efficient in what we're doing. A lot of the manual labor is now being automated giving us more time to give you what is more important than the layout.... which is content.
More later....
-
Got something for your list. :)
What I would like to see is a subscription service for online viewing of the current and past shows online and avalible for people over seas
that is a fair price.
Also a couple of changes to help with the forum ;)
-
:-[ OK, NO MORE WHINING BOSS MAN. ;D
THANK YOU FOR THE ARCHIVES PODCAST!!!!!!!!!! NOW I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE BS ON THE RADIO!!!!!
-
OK :-[ Color me embarassed :-[ but I finally figured you whack jobs out :-[
I come in through www.shootinggallery.tv (http://www.shootinggallery.tv) and couldn't figure out your issues.
Today I did something I do very seldom and went to www.downrange.tv (http://www.downrange.tv) ... Holy Cow :o
I'm too old to try all that, so I'll keep going my old way!
What is that noise ... Sounds like a bag of blackeyed peas spilling on the floor ... Where's M'ette ;D

hahah you will be stuffed then when MH catches up on his "To-Do list and changes that page as well to be the same as the rest of the site hahah
:P
-
I like the new look. My only criticism is that the video section is so big that a lot of content on the front page is now below the fold.
-
Hi folks!
An update about our front page....
We're still working on the redesign and we have listened and are still listening....
We can't fulfill all requests, but some changes will be made. First on the list was done tonight. Biggest concern has been the new video player which we launched during SHOT. After feedback from our members as well as our advertisers, we decided to move our new player to a dedicated page, keeping posts and video blogs highlighted as we did originally. You can still reach the player on the front page by clicking on the links. We will still continue to highlight videos in our article section with reference links etc.
Biggest challenge is to make room for and highlight our new features for 2010, but we will manage.
Michael and I are working frantically on new projects, the most exiting being TV quality shows only available online and complimenting Shooting Gallery, The Best Defense and Cowboys. These will be 30 to 45 minute shows dedicated to firearms, training, events, etc.
Production is planned to start in early March with a dedicated crew. We hope to have The Best Defense Director Tim Cremin on board as part of the team. This will make it possible for us to make content you all have been asking for.
Thanks again for email, PMS and phone call. This is your site as well as ours and Outdoor Channel, so don't be a stranger....
-
Looks cool Marshal, Thanks.
Now I can't wait for March ;D
-
+1 with Haz, I am missing the latest posts on the home page.
Thank you very much for getting me that wha-burger and french-cries. The forum and front page is awesome. Thanks for the outstanding work.
