Website Feedback

Submitted by neurotica on Sat, 07/27/2013 - 3:55pm

Welcome to the new Maryland Deathfest website!  As you may have already noticed, we are still under construction.  However, we would love to hear feedback from fest fans and patrons.  Feel free to post here and let us know what you think about the new site.  What do you like?  What do you not like?  Are there any additional features that you would like to see?  Obviously, we won't be able to please everyone, but we are working hard to make sure this website will be a useful supplement to your MDF experience.  Your questions, comments, and opinions are valuable to us, and the site can only get better with your input!!

In the meantime, here are a few features we are currently working on that will be deployed in the near future:

  • an integrated fest schedule that can be uploaded into your phone or mobile device - no more paper schedules or wondering what band is playing when!
  • downloadable interactive area map for the fest grounds and the surrounding areas for easy access in your phone or mobile device.
  • local hotel and transportation information (when available)
  • venue information (when available)
  • detailed vendor information, including links to vendors websites (when available)
  • dedicated photo gallery page, where registered users to the website can upload photos or videos from the fest

To send us a private message, please head to our Contact page.

  • Design!  
    We know this site looks a little clunky, but we wanted to focus on function before form.  What good is a beautiful pile of crap?
  • Merch page
  • iCalander-compatible schedule
  • Maps to the venue and popular hotels
  • Hooks that shoot out at your face from the screen to rip your face off... if you're a spammer.  Go home spammer, no one likes you!
  • A faster site
  • More mobile-friendliness
  • ... stuff

Neo2126:  All logins should remain active.  Logins require the use of cookies and javascript, so those both need to be enabled.  If you clear your cookies for the site, it will log you out.

If you are still having problems staying logged in, please send me a private message.  Indicate what operating system, web browser version, and step-by-step how to reproduce the issue.

when the website changed hosts it logged everybody out, it should be working fine now how about when we reply to a thread the subject is the topic title instead of the first 5 words of our post (unless you fill in the subject field of course)

I'll address the subject issue if it's an easy fix at some point, but there are other priorities at the moment.  One option is to disable the subject for replies, if that makes sense...  

Nevertheless, thanks for the feedback  :)

The forum reply subjects are now adjusted to be more intuitive and meaningful.

Done.  You should now be able to edit your own replies (you may need to log out and back in to see the change).
