| | Posted: January 16, 2009 7:51 PM | | | | Hello all,
Website.. very very easy to navigate through.. and I have noticed a recent modification to it.. Bang on!
Before I ask my question here, I did go through the search the forum, but I was probably not writing a good question because I did not get returns on it haha ;-)
Question: Would it be feasible when we click on the "Yes:45 No:2" that the list would be expanded under the contribution selected instead of reloading the page?? (Like when you click the title of the contribution you did.. it will give you the text with annotation you did to it)
Thought?

I usually have a lot of contributions pending and I hate the page reload when I like to see vote notes. |

| | Posted: January 17, 2009 1:27 PM | | | | same here.. I have to reload every time I see a new vote... Yup, I look at every comments left, enable me to become a better 'contributor'! :-) I know for a fact though, it could be complicated to code... I wish I would have stayed in my former job of programmer instead of joining the military haha  Have a great one! Eric | | | | E |

| | Posted: January 17, 2009 1:44 PM | | | | This would be cool if workable.
What I been doing is clicking the votes link with my scroll ball button to open it in a new window that way I don't have to keep reloading that page and scroll back down to where I was. | | | | Pete |

Great work around though. Thanks, Addicted  | | | | "I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

| | Posted: January 17, 2009 6:04 PM | | | | I like it but it would require every vote for every profile to be generated at runtime. Don't know what kind of performance hit that would have had on the server but back in the early days of DVDP, computers and browsers would probably have had issues* but it's not likely the case today.
* hiding and showing large amounts of data could cause the browser to momentarily freeze. |

| | Posted: January 17, 2009 7:06 PM | | | | Oh... as I clicked 'submit' to my last message.. how about a 'popup' !!! You click yes/no of a selected title, then the result would appear in a popup!! you could then close the yes/no popup and move on!! Thought? Eric | | | | E |

| | Posted: January 17, 2009 7:10 PM | | | | Just personal preference... but I hate things coming up as a pop-up. I would prefer pretty much anything over it. But that is just me. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: January 17, 2009 7:14 PM | | | | Yeah I don't like the idea of pop-ups either. Except maybe for that new type of tool-tip pop-up I've seen on other sites where you hover over certain "hot" areas and the info appears in a tool-tip style. That would be cool!  |

| | Posted: January 17, 2009 7:35 PM | | | | my popup thingny is turned off here, but the only way I can think of in making the return lighter (instead of reloading or including all the votes result into one page... Oh.. then in the personal setting.. check button for 'popup' or the way it is | | | | E |
