Re: IMSLP to merge with WIMA

Perhaps it should :) I don't think it makes much difference, though, especially when you read up to the second sentence of the thread :wink: The project page, templates, etc. have not actually been set up yet; I'll see if I can do that tonight and give links from this thread. Thanks to our voluntee...

Sibley: "No valid file on page" error

So I'm getting the "No valid file on page" error for every sibley file when using the sibley upload link. I noticed that when I click on a sibley link it now opens the pdf in a new window instead of prompting for download like it used to so maybe that is having an effect....

Re: Main Page graphic re-design

what was off topic? I was attempting different ways of resolving the letter A issue by putting an explanation in different places. That was what the last few posters had been discussing. I didn't realize the forums doesn't like posts by the same person in a row. I'll consolidate.

Re: Main Page graphic re-design

i think this looks better. I added an explanantion of the logo to the former "Associations" box and turned it into an "About us" box. I think we can at least agree it is more important to have that explanation somewhere than the "amazon" links so they were moved to the ...

Re: Main Page graphic re-design

actually a good candidate might be to swap in the "about us" page for the current "random page". I'm sure someone will say they like the "Random page" option but honestly it doesn't have any practical function and i don't think you can argue it's more important than a p...

Re: Main Page graphic re-design

i just added two lines to the "about page" - one to define IMSLP, and the other to explain the origins of the logo. The About page is linked in the footer where all about pages are almost always found so i don't think there's a need to duplicate it higher up. Perhaps room could be made in ...

Re: Main Page graphic re-design

ok so one last thing - the logo is by necessity a background image (there's no way to do the layout and make it a foreground object) so there's no possible mouse over because it's not the top layer. Invisible overlay object would have the same layout problems even if broken up into lots of pieces.

Re: Main Page graphic re-design

ugh there seems to be a love here for putting lots of text everywhere and saying things in the longest way possible. It's obviously a logo and if people really want to know an explanation for the logo they can ask on the forums like was done here. Honestly it's a terrible idea to put any sort of pop...

finding ridiculously difficult dates

I just spent forever finding dates for Charles F Hammond who wrote lyrics to a few of William G Hammond's works and I finally stalked him down. I hit SOOOOOO many dead ends. Finally i found him through his brother down through hand written census records to florida and then through a neighborhood ne...

Re: Creating Admin Tools area

with that, i'd like to ask if there's any reason the "list of PD composers in CA not PD in US or EU" is still on the Public Domain page when the category walker can produce it on demand... If it's just a relic I'd like to delete it and the templates from the page average users see but if t...

Creating Admin Tools area

So it seems there is an interest in creating a more simple way for new users to figure out how to submit scores and get involved. Separately there seems to be an equal interest in not changing too much so admins and CRs can find all the information they're looking for. Sooooo, I created a new box on...

Re: New Main Page full redesign project

so what to do about other language pages? There's not much to translate so it's mostly copy paste right?
