Firefox

1) Most of you ads (top, left and right) are missing when I use firefox.
2) In review section, the specification - expand and collapse only work on firefox on both IE 6 & 7 alway collapse. I'm not sure if this is by design.
3) In your articles - there are links that using old redirect php script http://www.audioholics.com/phpAdsNew/adclick.php? that no longer work. It just show page not found. one of ex:
http://www.audioholics.com/phpAdsNew/adclick.php?log=no&bannerid=69&zoneid=&source=&dest=http://www.rivesaudio.com
4) Refresh browser or close and open a new broswers (IE6, 7 and firefox) will NOT show your latest "Recent Professional Reviews, Articles and News" entry. Ex, Last time I went to you site without article "Slim Devices Transporter Digital Music Player Review", this article never show in my broswer even if I refresh my browser, close it and open a new one doesn't solve the problem. The only way to see the new article is either delete the cache and refresh the browser OR force refresh by pressing CTRL-refresh.
(Basically Latest Page is not displayed until ctrl-refresh)

In the FAQ section paragraph 10 has two "italics' display errors as shown below:

"10. Because there are a lot of forum members (and on slim occasion, manufacturers) who like to doggedly bring up their favorite products (it seems) in each and every forum thread, we have had to instate a new rule for PRODUCT REVIEW threads. In a PRODUCT REVIEW thread started by an Audioholics staff member or Admin discussion of competing products will not be allowed. This is not to stifle discussion, but to help keep the REVIEW thread on topic - namely, to keep it about the product being reviewed. Members are welcome to start other comparison threads or discussions elsewhere, but off-topic posts within REVIEW threads will simply be deleted."

Audioholics bugs

When you click on the Check Pricing link from the main AH page, you get an old version of the web site.
http://audioholics.pricegrabber.com/

Also, when you change the width of your browser window, the menu items on the far right wrap around, but they show up in a small font making them hard to see.

A similar formatting issue occurs on some of the new reviews. When I first opened the Slim Devices trasporter review, I thought you gave it 2 bars, but it had wrapped around due to the window size. You might want to make this portion of the review a fixed width or put the ratings below the product picture instead of inline.

Admin: 1 bug counted (we should not allow the ratings to wrap, PriceGrabber not a bug, just pending)

 

[j_garcia]

When you click on The History of Audioholics, the page is not there... D'oh, most of the links are down, you guys must be doing some updates, so that isn't really a "bug" I suppose.

If i click the second picture down (the DVI cable) on this page it takes me to a different picture than the one shown:

At the bottom of the page on some pages like this one:http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/calibrate-your-system I get this message:

2. Problem:

The front page has 60 erros.

Opera 9.1 browser. On the main page. The Home,Discussion forum,pro reviews, and all the other links in the blue bar area. I am not able to click on the link unless I am on the edge of the button/area. The middle of the area is not hyper-linked

3. Problem:
===========

When you mouse-over the text of the http://www.audioholics.com/Members page, in the 'User search Criteria' the text changes color
from off-gray to black. Not sure if this was intended behavior or not, but it seemed inconsistent, so I mention it here.


4. Problem:
===========
Weird bug/inconsistency: 'Groups' menu item only appears on the main navigation bar if you go into the 'Advertise with us' link. Was this intentional?
Seemed inconsistant since top-level navigation is generally static, which was why I mention it. Also should the 'Admin Workspace' be accessible to all? Thus,
you can also access the ProReviewers workspace and the execEditor workspaces as well (http://www.audioholics.com/groups)
The spread of objects and containers in there seems kind of haphazard...(http://www.audioholics.com/groups/admin)


5. Problem:
===========

Spelling check: "But Home Theater Magazines are differen't, right?"
Page: http://www.audioholics.com/groups/admin/print-media-advertising-in-freefall-say-major-media-sources

Admin: 0 bugs counted (we don't include typos and the other ones are stylistic in nature - the nav menus are completely dynamic in terms of how the system works)

Thanks guys for all the hard work! Keep it up!

When you run your mouse over the banner links (ie. news/etc) you can see the sub areas but not click on them (they disappear). It seems like you should have been able to link to them.

P.S. do I get credit for the broken links everywhere yesterday?

P.S.s. I can do a work around by scrolling with the mouse wheel and jumping the page down... which will highlight the sub-links.

crawing for bass has a link to save to delicion in the right corner

https://secure.del.icio.us/login?url=http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/speaker-setup-guidelines/crawling-for-bass-subwoofer-placement&title=Crawling for Bass - Subwoofer Placement&notes=Perhaps one of the most difficult tasks in placing your speaker system whether it is a 2 channel or multichannel surround system is finding the best location for your subwoofer.

Maybe a bug or just an oversight.

BTW most articles have this save link.

No sub folders?

I think putting the sub-folder information is a poor choice of wording. Why not just another drop down bar? Anyway the "bug" is in calibrating your system there are no sub-folders... yet an area for such.
