Here's your forum for sounding off on the auburnpub.com Web site. Web coordinator Rich Bellamy will keep loyal site visitors up to date on site changes and troubleshooting efforts through this blog, and he looks forward to hearing from all of you. This will be a great place to report bugs or just ask questions about site features and how they work.

" Thanks, this is much better. "

" The new format for posted comments is harder to read. I liked it better contained within a neat box, each poster's comments clearly delineated from others rather than smeared across the whole screen in a messy blur. MHO.

I was recently reading an article in Library Journal on why electronic books just have not caught on, not even among the younger generations who are much more used to reading things on a computer screen. There have now been physiological studies of what is and is not comfortable for the eye to do -- and when reading online, it is not comfortable to read to the edges of the screen -- most people skim/scan down the middle (perhaps without even being aware of it). Today I see (literally) what they meant -- it is NOT comfortable reading lines that stretch the full width of the screen -- much faster, easier and more comfortable to read text contained tightly on the sides and scan down.

I can send the reference if you are interested -- it's not a long article. "

" Purchasing photos:

On almost every page of this website, we have our "Multimedia Block"
--------------------->

At the bottom of the multimedia block, there is a link for purchasing photos. "

Your Photos Updates!

We now have a new format for the "Your Photos" section which I think everyone is going to like a lot better. Check it out!

We are going to be using a similar setup for all kinds of things, including our various contests that involve sending in your photos (Bright Idea, Pet Idol, Citizen and Me, etc.).

Let me know what you think of it.

" CayugaWriter,
We have no control over the AP video player, as it exists on another website and we merely link to it. However, I can tell you that it is flash-based, as are all our video content. The AP is made to look like windows media player (who knows why?) but it is flash-based.

Farmer's Gal,
We were having all kinds of site issues yesterday, so it wouldn't surprise me if the search box was messed up (more than usual). "

" Problems with the search box today? "

" I have a problem which some others also have.. I cannot see AP Video, and all your major articles use AP inputs which result in a red X at the first para. of each article. If those were jpegs, they could be seen, witness your opinion columns which use jpeg photos. BTW, I cannot read the Post-Standard's AP video either, and Some of their photos from that source. Why not use what Channel 9 WSYR uses - flash technology. It would solve most all of the video problems. Thank you. I find the rest of the on-line Citizen very readable and satisfactory. "

" You only have to go through all the old photos if you start at the first photo and keep hitting "next" until you get to the new photos. If you hit "previous" instead, then you will go to the last photo and backward through the stack until you see the photos you have already seen before.

Or wait two weeks until we get the new photo gallery online. "

" Hello - I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but...... I love the "Your Photos" section. Great photos of scenery, kids, pets and good times, but can't you clean them out every so often? I get really bored of having to go through the older photos to get to the newer ones. I do love this feature though. Thanks! "

" Hi Rich.

Saw your response, couldn't find an email address. I thought I saw it here somewhere before but no such luck at the moment. Can you post it for me?

Thanks.
