A heads-up about the Zooniverse home page and platform

• by DZM admin

  Hey Zooniverse folks,

  Just a heads-up that, as of today, the Zooniverse home page has shifted over to a new design that supports our new project platform.

  You may notice a few differences; for instance, a username change may be required to access projects on the new platform if you have a space or symbol in your username. The new profile pages also may be missing some elements for a while (a week or more, even), but don’t worry: your stats and classification counts have been preserved, and they are migrating and coming back!

  Please note that all current Zooniverse projects and Talks will be unaffected and should continue to operate just as they have. This will not affect this project you are currently on!

  The new Talk system is also attached to the new home page, and feedback will be very important in how we may move forward with it. There is also now a central Zooniverse Talk where we hope that people from all projects will be able to mingle and discuss common topics—like, for instance, all of these changes and updates!

  Finally, there is now post from Chris Lintott on the Zooniverse Blog explaining these changes in more detail.

  Any questions or feedback, please chime in on the Zooniverse Talk. See you there!

  Onwards and upwards,

  DZM

  This was a bit premature from Darren. The site is not ready to switch over yet, but hopefully will be in the next few days. Watch this space!

  I tried to clear my browser cache and it did help!

  What browser do you use? In Firefox you have to go to the Preferences in the browser menu, choose the Advanced / Cached Web Content and click on the Clear now button.

  Hey Carolyn... do you mean here, on this Talk? I think that we engineered it so that old usernames wouldn't change. Do you want this username to change?

  Yes please.....Can I just have carolyn.spivak as username here? Would make me feel less vulnerable 😃

  Is anyone else having problems getting on the new talk?

  No, I haven't. What exact problems have you got? Can I help you somehow?

  Posted July 11, 2015 8:38 PM

• by elizabeth_s moderator

  Oh just cannot sign in.

  But what is the behaviour? Does it tell you your login is wrong or does it ask you for login again and again without any error note? Or how shall I understand that you cannot sign in? Maybe a screen shot would help. I have no problems with signing in.

  Cheers, Z.
