i love the site. everything's in here. :)
i love this site... i get everything in just one page.. and it's user friendly..thanks for this site... i like it soo much.. =)
I love the new site, the colors, the style and contents, but I still don't get the community part, is like I find it too complex to navigate and comment. The other structure is so much easier for me. I'm very slow, I guess haha
Love the new site!
... One crit, hopefully its constructive.
In the "Latest Activity" area on the right of the page...
Is there some way to change (for example):
Aspiring commented on "their discussion topic".
A moment ago
Aspiring commented on "Aimster's discussion topic".
1 minute ago
and have it say something more meaningful like:
Aspiring commented on "CASTRO FAN COMMUNITY WIDE ART PROJECT!".
A moment ago
Aspiring commented on "Upcoming Radio Appearances".
1 minute ago
I think its more informative and less confusing.
Thanks for listening...
Thanks, Liz! (Goes to check if has ad blockers)
If you have ad blockers on firefox, you probably won't see the banners.
Note: I'm not sure why this should be so, but NONE of the Pre-order banners show up for me when I open this site on Firefox. There are lots of blank white spaces where those banners should be. (It works and looks great on Safari, though.)
Aha! I found it in the Castro Cafe! :
"You'll need to upgrade your web browsers to IE 8 or Firefox or Safari to view the new website/discussion boards"
If you are having trouble with slow loading, it might be that you need to update your browser to one of these...
Huh. Seems to me this site loads faster than most. I think I remember reading that some browsers work better than others for this site...does anyone remember which?
You're welcome :-) Yeah, I don't think the new site is slow moving at all. I've got broadband and have no problems. (except with the store because I still can't add anything to my cart.) But, no problems with loading.
I haven't had any trouble with the site loading slowly... it goes as fast as anything else on the net...
Very nice. It's always hard to get used to something new, but it does capture a lot of Jason's personality. Mostly, I'm just posting to try out my new AVI, with a picture I took of Jason at the SLS event. :)
Duh, I finally see the link to Castro Cafe! Thanks again Jasonsweetthing!
And I agree Leda! This new site is very slow loading, and I too have high speed cable internet.
I like the new website, but it moves slower than a sluggish snail! I have 'high speed' cable internet as a rule, but not on this site.
You're welcome, Gailer :-)
The forum box is right underneath of the Latest Activity box on the right side of the homepage. Both boxes are light tan. At the bottom of the forum box you should see a link to the Castro Cafe. I'm not a member of the JCM staff, but I'm sure that if the cafe was going anywhere, an annoucement would have been made. So, I really don't think you should worry about it being phased out. It seems to be staying put.
jasonsweetthing
thanks !!
but i still dont see it
i dont see a "forum" on the new site
im just curious if its being phased out
Now that I've had some time to get used to the new layout, I do think it's overall a big improvement over the old. (although, I have to ask, is anyone else having issues buying from the JCM store?) I tried to order my bundle the night of Jason's web cast, and for the next 2 days after, but was not able to add anything to my cart. I'm still unable to and finally had to use another computer to place my order. I wonder if maybe this is some technical difficulties with the new site, since my computer's only a year old and should be compatable. ::shrugs:: But, other than that, it's first rate and I am proud of everyone who worked so hard on it. Great job!
Gailer, yes the cafe still exists. There's a link to it on the front page at the bottom of the "forum" section. :-)
It always worked (?) until now that is..... So I may not be alone, if others have that then they are going to the old one and I know we want nojasoncastrofanleftbehind right :)
That's a really old bookmark, RQ!
OK my bookmark automatically takes me to: http://www.thejasoncastro.com/
that is where there is no link here.
The site is very pretty and peaceful, I love the grass in the background, very 60's vibe.
They still exist! http://cafe.jasoncastromusic.com/ gets me there.
Question:
Do the old forums exist? The Cafe? I thought I saw them somewhere but I cant find a link to it from here (new site)
chinese fan--look at the player on the Home page. See below the bar that shows the music playing, it says the title of the song again? And right under it, slightly to the left, it says "Launch player". Click on that, and a little music player will appear on your desktop. You can listen to it all day, even when you leave the website!
I will when I get home. I don't have it bookmarked from work. I wouldn't worry because i know the new address, I just worry for those who have been away.
Rosequeen, I never bookmark anything. Is the URL you're hitting saying http://www.jasoncastromusic.com with something following that? Could you copy the url and post it here?
But that's just me.
Honestly, not to hurt anyone's feelings, but not crazy about the font being used -- especially on Jason's name -- nor some of shades of green. Jason's favorite color is baby blue, which is nowhere to be seen...
Liz - do you have the old site in your bookmarks? Use that and you will see what I mean, it's like frozen on the last day for me with no link.
