Fannish Fifty Challenge: Post # 29: DW beta testing

[ride_4ever]

I haven't tested the newest in-beta version of DW yet, so I can't fairly say anything about it (other than "ugh, I just don't like tech changes to things that have been working fine for me for years and to which I'm accustomed").

Click here for the link to the beta test info posted by denise in dw news.

I would like to see comments here from fen who have tested this beta version! What do you think? What did you like? What did you not like?

I don't remember having any serious bugs. The module arrangement took some getting used to, but in general I've appreciated the new pages since I now use my phone more often than my computer for DW.

TYK for the encouraging words.

Piggy backing on this--I opened DW on my phone just to see and yeah, the layout is clearly designed for mobile devices. Everything just looks better, cleaner in the narrower, vertical layout.

Now, why the inbox font is so huge, I have no idea, but I actually rarely look at anything there unless I get a direct message so while annoying it's not a feature I use daily (or even weekly, maybe not monthly LOL).

I know I should be looking at the beta testing, but I am so stressed out by the negative comments with which I agree even before looking that I need more time to toughen my mind up to face it.
