OK, fellows. The new site has been around for some weeks now. Now, I need vocabulary feedback from you as well as site suggestions (features, improvements and modifications).
Who wants to start this very brainstorm session?

you know, I think this site is great, its really easy to move around, and looks cool, though you could do with a members section like Joyrex has/had, that would make it cooler for us requlars :)

Glitch: V5 of the community is having full support for memberlogins etc, thereby tighting the community even more.
The upcoming login won't be limited to the messageboard but also working as a gateway to various sections on the site. The login will be fully integrated to the rest of the site. Meanwhile add yourself to the unofficial fan member list.
Keep it coming.

This site is easy to navigate and it has a great style. I´d keep it like this. But what about a Flash version of the page? That would be pretty cool.
Have a nice day, guys!

Please whatever you do, don't use flash Phobia. When I'm surfing the internet, listening to IDM, I don't want a barrage of sound and visuals in my face, I want content and style.
And right now, this site has both content and style :)

Phob, this page is great, ive said so since your first revision. A chat room, might be nice, but i think those rooms tend to debase conversation because of their spontaneuosness, with the message board topics people tend to stay on target whatever the subject, but again Phob, you have been 100% on target, this is the only page i visit regularly. Whatever you do with it, i will check it out.Id even host if you had rooms. Once again and always, keep up ypur work, its brilliant.

phobiazer0: I think that a chat room would be awsome. but also keep the messageboard, it would be for people that can't just chat but want to leave info/messages to people, and get responses. that would be neato.

why not have topic based chatrooms, a similar idea to messageboards where anyone can create a topic, but people come in to the room to talk about it...

improvements:
More cover art,.. front and back, and inside-the-front-cover art,...
The jiggly pics : although these are good in theory,.. you can't get the help tab (the little thing that appears when you put the mouse on it for more than 3 seconds) without glitching,.. It can be rather annoying
more custom zones aphex custom pics (done) aphex custom remixes (done) aphex custom UI (stuff like winamp skins or mouse pointers,.. windows backgrounds etc..)
aphex custom - (anything that can't be put under any of the other's)
more "features" and more involvement with them,.... (prolly very time consuming for you,.. but the regulars would appreciate it)
have the learn section split up into more categories like : "biographies" "interviews" "articles" "RDJ-is-mentioned in this article" "somehow related"
and maybe even get some help to scrounge up all the reviews of all the albums and songs that you can,...
fix all the typo's (there's quite a few)
fix the streaming samples,.. sometimes it'll play the next song down,.. or the next one up,.. or just not play at all
make the custom remixes quicker to download,... sometimes I can be waiting for a minute just for it to register that I want to download something,..
when "notify me of future replies" is ticked and someone replies,... put their e-mail within the reply,..
eg: ----------------------------------------------- sugg's and feed
???? has made a reply on this topic URL of topic *^#OK%JSA_S.html
????'s E-mail URL of member ($&*$(@)KSKAK.com
or contact phobia zero on ,... you get the idea ------------------------------------------------
don't get me wrong,.. I love this site,.. But if no-one tells you just what's wrong with it then there will never be any improvement
I hope I've been incitefull and not annoying

Ansers to TekN010G:
More cover art,.. front and back, and inside-the-front-cover art,...
Sure, I'll start a massive scan-session. Expect them in V5.
The jiggly pics : although these are good in theory,.. you can't get the help tab (the little thing that appears when you put the mouse on it for more than 3 seconds) without glitching,.. It can be rather annoying
Anyone else feeling the same about this?
more custom zones aphex custom pics (done) aphex custom remixes (done) aphex custom UI (stuff like winamp skins or mouse pointers,.. windows backgrounds etc..)
aphex custom - (anything that can't be put under any of the other's)
Yeah, I'm having a few "non-standard" contributions from you guys (like cursors, fan stories, themes, skins etc). I'll add them in V5.
more "features" and more involvement with them,.... (prolly very time consuming for you,.. but the regulars would appreciate it)
What kind of features?
have the learn section split up into more categories like : "biographies" "interviews" "articles" "RDJ-is-mentioned in this article" "somehow related"
Sure, I'll take a look at it. Changes will be done in V5.
and maybe even get some help to scrounge up all the reviews of all the albums and songs that you can,...
I'm having quite a lot reviews not yet added. Expect them in V5.
fix all the typo's (there's quite a few)
Not my fault! I blame my keyboard. ;-)
fix the streaming samples,.. sometimes it'll play the next song down,.. or the next one up,.. or just not play at all
Huh? Next song? Anyway, I'll add samples from EVERY track...sometimes they could be lagging a bit but it's usually due to high demand from concurrent users.
make the custom remixes quicker to download,... sometimes I can be waiting for a minute just for it to register that I want to download something,..
The usual problem...It's working fine from here...downloading remixes at 60 kb/s...instant downloads as well...Can't do much about this since I know the webhosting company for the remixes are having a VERY fast connection.
when "notify me of future replies" is ticked and someone replies,... put their e-mail within the reply,..
eg: ----------------------------------------------- sugg's and feed
???? has made a reply on this topic URL of topic *^#OK%JSA_S.html
????'s E-mail URL of member ($&*$(@)KSKAK.com
Why?
or contact phobia zero on ,... you get the idea ------------------------------------------------
Actually...No!?
what does phobiazero mean anyway? are you afraid of zeros :)???
You could also look at it like... "fear nothing"

Please have somebody monitor the chatroom in case flooders come in. I HATE flooders. Also, is there some way for us to preview the custom remixes BEFORE we download them? I mean, i hate downloading a remix then listening to it and realizing its crap, then knowing i wasted a good 20 minutes of my life obtaining this crap. There probably is a way already that i don't know about -- stupid me -- but if there isn't, could help me out a bit?
Oh and by the way, an article on Rephlex was recently released in an issue of URB magazine (May or June issue with John Digweed on cover) It has a pic of Richard and a lot of good reporting on Rephlex.

hello phobia, sites with groovy moving graphics and sounds really get my juices flowing - maybe you could do some of that shit.
someone else (sorry, can't remember who) suggested having a way to hear the custom remix downloads before actually downloading them - i idg this idea.

As I am going through the same agonizing process that Phobia is, I can sympathize with him on wanting feedback.
Here's a suggestion Phobia - drop the browns, perhaps consider a different color pallette - I still can't figure out why every aphex site ('cept mine) always seems to have a 'brown' version in it's history. :O]
I'm changing my pallette to something more daring than before, just to break out of the same old mould.
Perhaps consider an alternate navigation system? Don't go 100% flash or DHTML because users WILL complain - trust me on this :O] I'm implementing some new ideas I picked up here and there on my new version of the site.
Last question: are you using NewsCat by any chance?

Something that is worth considering is from the Bogdan raczynski website.

And yes, I'm using NewsCat.
User profiles etc will be implemented in V5 as mentioned earlier in this topic.

Well, this colour scheme is fine, I just thought you'd like to break away from the browns since you've used them for so long now.
You should get Tunefish to incorporate some of the messageboard things mine has into this one, or add the photo feature at least-that's always a favorite.

wouldn't it be kickass if you went for a blue colour scheme? like a futuristic thing or something... one other thing: keep the messageboard simple, ie. no pics and extra stuff like joyrex... it takes way too long to load

Maybe. I'll improve the design/layout for V5. I'm very satisfied with the navigation since many of you seems to like it. It's easy to use. However, I'll prolly add a few additional options to the bar.

Phobiazero: here is a suggestion. I know the site is damn easy to navigate through, and find what you want, but you said you wanted to maybe add some stuff to the menu-bar up top, well maybe you could generalize a little bit on thise, without making it too long, or something like that. But the colorscheme here is wonderful, and blends great; I would never get tired of it!

I think that's a good suggestion on the navbar - you should use DHTML to create tooltips that contain descriptions of what's in the sections.

Rob Fragilenine : About the color scheme,... I think that phobia zero has tried to stay true to "warprecords" color scheme's given to the artists
Aphex Twin : represented with a yellow square on warp Autechre : represented with a grey square on warp
I don't think that It's a co-incidence that they happened to use this color scheme
but phobia's "plaid" site seems to be the only exception to the rule,.. it's represented in "skin" color on warp,.. but phob made it dark blue,..
hmmmm,..
Am I guessing right?
