Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: I really want to like it, butThis is not a WORDPRESS bug, it’s a THEME bug.
Er, no. I never logged it as a bug, did I? It was feedback tagged to the theme, and it’s been noted by the appropriate person and I’ve taken on board their comments, which is why it’s now tagged as resolved.

In reply to: I really want to like it, butWell, I’ve pretty much got the answers I wanted and I seem to be a voice in the wilderness here, so I’m unlikely to be investing a great deal more time in this.
Functionally I think it’s a great body of work, but with the current superb state of WordPress time invested in drawing a line under (and rationalising existing bugs) that functionality and investing more time in improving the UI for the theme admin would greatly increase exposure and take up. But it’s not my theme. I came only to offer feedback.
With that done, I can move on. 🙂

In reply to: I really want to like it, butSorry I don’t understand, what is default page with from the theme?
It’s not you, it’s me, as we say here in the UK.
It was my shocking writing that made it unclear, sorry. It should read: “The 1000px comment is borne from my comment that the default page width for the theme is set to 1000px.”

In reply to: I really want to like it, butJust as an FYI, next time make sure you specify in the TITLE or the first paragraph that your problem is in a THEME.
Indeed, thank you. Duly noted and a lesson learned on my part.

In reply to: I really want to like it, butI wached the image link you sended, and I think, that the problem you have with the 1000px it’s more from Suffusion that from WordPress.
The image I posted is the options page from suffusion. The 1000px comment is borne from my comment that the default page with for the theme is set to 1000px.

There is a support forum with more than 15,000 posts – this has neither been directionless work nor has it been a “work in isolation on personal projects” for almost a year and a half now.
I suspect that our interpretations of ‘direction’ might be at odds here.
However, I’m not here to argue the toss with anyone, I posted my feedback. I am somewhat surprised that given the outstanding work on functionality, that more work hasn’t been applied to the admin interface or that it hasn’t been raised as an issue more often.
Also, quite literally thousands of users haven’t had issues with the 1000px width, and for those who did, the theme doesn’t lock you in at that width.
Just because people don’t complain about something, that doesn’t mean it’s right in the first place. Microsoft relied on that for years. 🙂
Most options and the way you see the UI are a result of user-feedback, so the design is pretty consistent with what most users want.
As I’ve said, I’m a little surprised that users don’t have issues with it, but no matter.
I came here looking for something to help me with a project that involves 20 new WordPress web sites. I appreciate that the functionality is all there, but having to do five or more sites (at least) before I work my way around the backend isn’t an option. First impressions count for a lot.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated. It was probably the sort of response I expected.

It is just that Suffusion’s options panel is fixed width at 1024px, so unless you minimize the sidebar you will have issues on smaller monitors.
No, not smaller monitors. Browser windows. I don’t know any web developers that work in full screen browser windows all day long. All four of my browsers are set to open at a particular window size.
the reference to 1000px is the default width of the theme front end (which can be pretty easily set through theme options to anything else you wish, really).
I didn’t imply it couldn’t be changed. I said it didn’t make sense that it was set to that width in the first place.

In reply to: I really want to like it, butDoes the backend of suffusion change WordPress that much?
I didn’t once imply it did. I think you jumped the gun somewhat, like others here.

In reply to: I really want to like it, butTags on feedback posts are important, I find. Particularly for context. My original comment was tagged for a good reason.

In reply to: I really want to like it, butActually, it’s called IA. User interface needs top-down work. That’s information architecture to improve the UI and the UX. With correct and well documented IA in the first place, UI overhauls shouldn’t be required. However, I’m not here to argue semantics. But thanks for trying.
As for the assertion about the width, I beg to differ. The default install introduces horizontal scrolling in a 1024 x 768 browser window.
Thousands of people? That’s probably a little strong, don’t you think?
