This has taken us a long time, but we’ve finally released the new and improved profile page. This marks a huge stylistic improvement over the old version… gone are the “drop-down” boxes for the different features, and the clunky 3-column layout. Your profile page now looks much more similar to the profile pages of other users.
Nothing has been removed, and a number of new features have been added, including lists of your Featured Films, your Most Starred Reviews and your Film Submissions.
As a part of this enhancement, we also changed the functionality of the TCI List page… by default that page will now show your top TCIs, as opposed to 50 random ones. It makes a lot more sense — you’ll see your top 10 TCIs from your profile, and go to the TCI Page to see the full list of 1000.
Let us know what you think and inform us of any errors that made it through our testing — there are bound to be a couple!
I get an error message whenever I try to look at my full list of TCIs beyond the first 50.
it would be great if default view would be recent rankings, not top TCI.
Whoops, that’s embarrassing… the file which switches pages didn’t get released along with the rest of the code. It’s fixed now.
Also if I were to go to All My Rankings from the link next to the Criticker Zealot label, it takes me to the ranking list of user “_____”
Ach! You’re right again. It’s fixed now. Keep the errors coming!
(or please let them stop)
I really like the new TCI page and the fact that the profile page is much cleaner. It feels a little awkward to navigate, and it occurred to me that it might be because the selection menu “Check out you…:” is on the right. Have you considered putting it on the left instead? I suppose it might create alignment issues, but it feels more intuitive to have the menu on the left.
work on top director averages instead of changing the profile page every month!
Are the messages and favorites boxes supposed to be on the bottom left hand side, below everything else. It just seems really strange; maybe it’s just my computer.
No, they’re supposed to be floated on the right-hand side. Can you tell me what browser (and version) you’re using? Something must be causing it to be pushed down. Best would be to send an email to support-at-criticker.com
I don’t mind the other changes, but I don’t see the need for this.
The other page was great IMO, and if you really had to change smt, you could’ve just expanded the “recent kumpel activity” box (some users have a lot of kumpels).
and why do we need features like “your favorite” or “least favorite films”, I think we know which films we love and hate.
long story short: please change it back…
yeah i dont like it much either. the other way was easier for me, now i have to click more shit to see the same info i was already seeing in one sitting before. i agree, i already know what i love and hate and dont need that info
It’s nice the way it is now IMO. Not really any better or worse, just cleaner to look at. *shrug*
Can it be “Most Recent Rankings” by default? Thanks.
Am I right in thinking you have dropped the feature: show only recently active TCIs? If so, I think that is a loss.
This is still on its way — we just need to move it over to the revamped TCI List page, and ran out of time on Friday. I’d assume we’ll get it there early next week
Couldn’t you somehow add the preview picture for the “Recent Kumpel Activity” page again? It’s much harder (at least for me) to identify a film with only a name instead of a name and a picture.
It would also be great if the default page would change or be selectable as most of the time there isn’t going on much in the TCI page.
I don’t know if this is connected with recent changes, but the Javascript in the “Your Films in Common” box on another user’s profile doesn’t appear to be working. Clicking on the “you totally agree” link, or the mini-review balloon does nothing. At the bottom of the box, it says “In order to generate a TCI, the user must have seen at least [number of films in common] of the same films as you” where the value in the brackets used to be the actual number required to generate a TCI (based on your own number of ratings).
When I click on “You recent rankings” on anything else in Opera, it doesn’t switch. Works normally in Mozilla and Chrome though.
It’s probably related — the functions are shared between the two pages. We’ll look into this as soon as we can.
