Huge download button

FraDonaghy	Date: June 5, 2009 @ 3:41 AM What\'s with the MASSIVE download button on the music pages?
Distilled1	Date: June 5, 2009 @ 11:50 AM I don't know .. I kinda like it think we need the rest done the same way though.. maybe a tad bit smaller and some text in them if they are that big
Distilled1	Date: June 5, 2009 @ 11:53 AM as well we need alt text on these (its missing)so that screen readers know what they are.. a m ouse over name as well would be nice... wonder if I cn fix that....
sinai	Date: June 6, 2009 @ 12:27 AM if you turn yer laptop sideways,all the buttons together look like a picture of me, tiny head, tiny arms, big long ass thing in the middle, then some skinny legs
Israfel	Date: June 7, 2009 @ 9:27 AM Great...now I'm gonna be thinking of that whenever I see the download button.

zedsalt	Date: June 9, 2009 @ 9:45 AM Oh, great. That brought that Burger King/Spongebob Squarepants/Sir Mixalot commercial right up to the forefront of my consciousness. Right where it did NOT need to be.

evansorchid	Date: June 17, 2009 @ 4:54 AM Well since this has been going on for a couple of weeks, I don't think it's an accident. I'm starting to believe that someone somewhere is trying to exaggerate the download tally on this site in an effort to....I don't know...sell this site to a more reputable owner. Maybe we should all turn downloads OFF to prevent this from happening.
Mojosnake	Date: June 17, 2009 @ 9:39 AM reputable ......... such things are real?
zedsalt	Date: June 17, 2009 @ 9:43 AM Encouraging downloads would be the sort of thing that would definitely improve a website owner's reputation, I would think.
ShadowMom	Date: June 17, 2009 @ 11:24 AM It's cosmetic-- not high on the list of things that need to be done. Careful, your paranoia is showing! On the other hand... has anyone actually TRIED it? Because it might be that special eject button we've been discussing... Just asking!
GTOriginal	Date: June 17, 2009 @ 11:44 AM Wow! I can say goodbye to those long hours of tedious work I used to apply to the process. No more Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for me! Nope, whenever I need to "eject", I simply press my great big button and all is right in the world.
ShadowMom	Date: June 17, 2009 @ 12:42 PM T...M...I...
ShadowMom	Date: June 17, 2009 @ 4:49 PM You call that huge? I've seen bigger. So has Gary, evidently.
ShadowMom	Date: June 17, 2009 @ 4:50 PM And it's not a roll of toilet paper, But at least it DOES tell you which direction to pull it, doesn't it?
BOWILLIE	Date: June 17, 2009 @ 4:52 PM pull down roll..apply to erea..wipe up that download

zedsalt	Date: June 18, 2009 @ 9:26 AM I was a fighter pilot in another life. I died as a result of a horrible firefight in which two of my dear comrades were also shot down. When I ejected, my seat and I landed in the open cockpit of one of the other planes, and I couldn't reach the other plane's eject button. After I'd passed and met everyone involved...both friend and foe...on the other side, I remember thinking that perhaps the worst part of the entire tragedy was the fact that everyone who saw it happen died that day.
ChillinBuzz	Date: June 18, 2009 @ 1:48 PM Worst part, Zed? Until you mentioned this embarrassing demise nobody else saw it and lived to laugh at the tale.
leflaw	Date: June 18, 2009 @ 4:18 PM actually, looks like a big roll of yellow toilet paper
Distilled1	Date: June 18, 2009 @ 4:22 PM I think if they all were that size and had a transparent partial (the white) back gnd and some clean text on them it may look good, but yep looks kinda like a TP roll that's been peed upon

Distilled1	Date: June 18, 2009 @ 4:31 PM Back in the Early Empire Day days me and Marv were at a dive talking to the owner about playing. well we stayed and had some beers or more and by the time we left the TP was about 10 times as big due to us loading it with the recycling of the Brew LOL
BOWILLIE	Date: June 18, 2009 @ 4:35 PM i was at a seance last week and a spirit made contact claiming to be a air combat fighter during the war that died due to a dogfight with an american pilot that ejected and landed in his cockpit..he spoke in funny broken english and kept moaning zeedzalt zeedzalt..that was pretty spooky..but when the yellow toilet paper roll floated into the room is when i really lost it and shit my pants.

Well, now, see, I don't see anything to be embarassed about. Maybe I should, really, but I don't, really. When that sort of thing happens...a miraculously messed-up series of unlikely events, usually painful but not fatal...the only good that come of it is a good laugh. I tell as many people as possible.

JFF	Date: July 18, 2009 @ 9:54 AM I thought the site had been hacked...
JFF	Date: July 18, 2009 @ 9:55 AM ... by a 3 year old wannabe artist
FraDonaghy	Date: July 29, 2009 @ 2:43 PM I tried substituting the url for the new download button with that of the old download button in the HTML editor we have on our artist page, but it seemed to have no effect... Is the HTML editor a subscriber only perk?

Is the HTML editor a subscriber only perk? Not sure... But Rich (Distilled1) has noted a problem with the HTML editing side of the artist page - Namely that only non-subs logged in and any user logged out can see the changes. Did you change the "Default artist page:" setting to HTML? (options tab)
DMusicRadio	Date: July 29, 2009 @ 4:05 PM only some see the html this one is non sub but can't see it... and I don't remember if it was or not I think the custom adding the styles works for everyone.. but again I am not sure

FraDonaghy	Date: July 29, 2009 @ 4:42 PM I should point out though that having the page set to HTML has had the knock on effect of logging me out while on the music page. No biggie though, as I'm signed back in again as soon as I go to another page.
ChillinBuzz	Date: July 29, 2009 @ 6:58 PM I've been getting some odd login issues too, namely logging in on my page and being sent to the main page instead... No biggie though but doesn't do it every time. I think the HTML part of it is a tad dangerous from a security point of view... But then with a little time and effort I could probably bugger pages up just using the CSS section too, I wasn't planning on trying though as I like my present skin.
FraDonaghy	Date: July 31, 2009 @ 6:38 AM Another problem with adjusting the HTML if you are a non-sub (and therefore without deeplinks).. the links for the streams and downloads expire. Ah well.. back to the old style DM page for me
ChillinBuzz	Date: July 31, 2009 @ 8:03 AM The HTML page is entirely separate from the rest of the artist setup I think, Fra. I thought about that issue and then decided to just skin my page using the stylesheet option instead. Unless the head coder creates some "modules" or some kind of internal linking system to songs, the HTML option is pretty much just a novelty and little use to the existing artist page.
Distilled1	Date: July 31, 2009 @ 12:34 PM ^ yes we need that to make it work real nice.
evansorchid	Date: July 26, 2010 @ 10:36 PM Now I'm......starting to miss it. ....it was like a comforting friend. Ode to a Grecian Download Button......
ShadowMom	Date: July 26, 2010 @ 11:15 PM Suck it up, sport...or write a song about it.
caseyfallen	Date: August 14, 2010 @ 4:14 PM The old "Huge Download button" worked 67.8% better then the new small streamlined one. 32.2% of users now cannot find said button.
zedsalt	Date: August 15, 2010 @ 11:02 AM 68.7% of people citing imaginary, arbitrary statistics add tenths and/or hundredths of percentage points in an effort to make the figures appear more legitimate.
caseyfallen	Date: August 15, 2010 @ 4:16 PM LOL! That could be true. Unless it is a conversion from metric. Then it would have to be done. Or you would have a less accurate number. So there!
kingo	Date: August 16, 2010 @ 2:00 PM I want my download button to take up my whole entirely page.
DannyHowe2	Date: August 16, 2010 @ 10:59 PM I liked the big giant download button cause some people can not see well and if they have a problem finding something they just skip it and move on. I think we ought to be prepared for all things maybe even a talking button that says hit me !, it me!
TameasDust	Date: November 15, 2010 @ 4:33 AM and colour it red and put on it a 'Do not touch' sign
