[Review] Jinxedornot.com
Hi, can you guys tell me what you think about my website please?

I've been working quite a lot on it so your feedback is very appreciated, especially since I've only made one other website. By the way, if you had a hard day at work and wanna be rough to someone, just do it : I would really appreciate that you do not try to be kind or anything. I want my website to be as flawless as can be.

Do you quickly understand the point of the website and would you use it / bookmark it because it's fun?

Is the website long to load/use?

Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you a lot for your time!

I think i have got the idea of the website, it made me smile but I don't think I would go on it again...but i did send the link to a friend as I thought it would amuse them.

As for problems/improvements:
- I think you need a small explanation at the beginning of the home page, just so people can understand what is going on.
- The page numbers at the bottom need some work
- And theres something I don't quite like about the login box.

So all in all I think you have done very well, and could be developed into a reasonably sized website.

P.S. if you would like help with anything don't hesitate to ask

very nice site,
as flabby rabbit said a small explanation at the beginning of the home page, just so people can understand what is going on, is needed.

the stories were amusing, so i might visit it again some time...

bookmarked it!

good work.

Flabbyrabbit : thanks for your comments and also for suggesting your friend, that's really cool of you! I worked on the three things you mentionned, please tell what you think. As you are offering help well, well if you have other friends that might like it or have ideas on how to drag people to it please let me know :p

Stig : thanks a lot for your comment, and also for bookmarking it it really feels good to hear! If you have friends that might like it, like on facebook or whatnot, please do tell them if you get a chance



I made a few changes on the website, feedback would be awesome!

- Added a description right on top of the front page.
- Made the website loggin-free for all the basic features. Took the registering and login panel off of the banner, it is now in the panel once you've hit "more". Also, I made the banner clickable in its entirety instead of only the left part of it.
- Once you're signed in, the "sign" and "register" buttons disappear in the pannel and are replaced with "sign out" and "personnal space"
- The registration comes in a pop-up like thing instead of in the banner. The weird pop-up only automatically appears when logging in is needed to use the feature.
- About is now accessible without expanding the panel.
- Changed "more options" to "more", added a little "expand icon" that's the shape of a triangle so that people understand clicking won't reload the page. Changed "more" into "less" once expanded. Made sure the panel would not collapse back if you change page. You need to hit "less" for it to collapse.
- Changed all the buttons on the site. They now are actual buttons instead of mere words using a big font.
- Added a "cancel" button next to "submit" in the "add a story" form.
- I Added a character count in the "add a story" form, also you cannot add a Jinx that's less than 20 character long.
- Changed the look or error messages : the messages are now circled with red and are written in a light red rectangle.
- I decreased the size of both <h1s> and <h2s> and decreased the spacing below them.
- Made the whole font a little grayer, it used to be black.
- hitting "ok" in the "comments & suggestion" form skips a line instead of sending the form.
- The "registration confirmation" now has jinxes displayed instead of nothing but a welcome message.
- Created a "personnal space" with the members-only features in it.
- Changed the pagination style at the bottom of the site that was incongruent. It now is bigger, bolder (faster stronger :p) and I included "next", "previous", "first""last" and buttons.
- I deleted the "add/view comments" inside of every rectangle. Now when you hover over the text, it says "click to add / view comments" instead and gives the number of comments.


Still more work to be done on the " added on # by #" which I already decided I'd change so don't bother commenting on this, it is soon to be changed.

Please do comment!

WARNING! URL CHANGED!!

Hi, made plenty of changes.

Can you please:

Try and imagine it doesn't say "today" at the biginning of every phrase. Do you like it better?

What do you see on the banner, without paying a lot of attention?

Do quickly understand the point of the site?

Thanks a lot.
