New website... That start the problems !

Re: New website... That start the problems !

To come up with a "design", you first need to know what function the design must serve.

Form follows function.

I have already stated in another thread that I understand the need to insert ownership signifiers in the schematic diagrams. I expressed the opinion that the newly-chosen side bar typeface introduces an obstacle to clear communication.

Somebody out there considers style to be more important than substance. In my opinion, this is a mistake.

Hi,
When I first asked "where is the tone chart and where did it go?" I expected possible criticism for not knowing what should be obvious, it is very good to know I am not alone. Now, the wiring diagrams, are gone as I knew them, which I also used and were helpful. Where is the Admin.? I am surprised that Scott has not jumped in yet.

Having been around graphic designers since I was a kid kicking around my dad's shop, almost every graphic designer considers style to be more important than substance. In fact, many consider style to be the substance.

Words are just words. It is the intent that makes them offensive.

Unfortunately, automatic censorship of selected English words makes it impossible to discuss, for example, dog breeding and one of Miles' best-known albums.

This new version is a thing of any web designer who has mental disorders !

I think this kind of opinion is both valid and also inevitable, there is no way one GUI design is going to be loved by all users. Being that said, I need the quick link in the pickup model for the wiring instructions that are included in the actual pickup package and the pickup dimension, I don't seem to find those anywhere unless someone knows where it is :) And I don't like the way the wiring diagram finder works, you have to know the difference between a Stack and a Stack Plus to find what you need, also the selector at top is away from the selections on left so the newcomer will definitely miss it from sight.

There is only one small saving grace: if you search for a basic/general wiring set up (like 2H 2V 2T 3-way), then there is a drop down on the result side of the page so you can quickly go through the variations. But the resulting diagrams are still too small and low quality to read or print out.

They look fine to me. Colors are clearly separated and you can see which contacts they go to.
