[obsolete] AudioZ - Your Audiofreedom
As you can see, we've changed a few things :dance:
First of all, make sure you have javascript enabled in your browser;
if you using NoScript extension, go on and Allow this page.
So, where do i start...
I wasn't up to web-design for a few years, when the time came to upgrade AudioZ i had to update practically my whole knowledge on this subject.
I have to say, it took me a really long time to put everything together, while somewhere in the middle of this process i understood that everything is just wrong:
design is not cool, logo does not express the idea, the engine that we've been working on all this time using too obsolete techniques...
but time is always against us, and all these things have to be considered in the future updates.
this is my first interface design in the last several years, and i hope it will be a decent temporarily replacement of the old one.
So many things have changed... I have described the most important of them in the Rules / FAQ, which you should definitely read. (by clicking the INFO button)
from now on, i'd like to move things to a new level, and this concerns most of you, especially our Contributors (in the past - Composers).
...and here's a quick What's New list:
As some of you already know, we have a new domain - www.AudioZ.pro
specifically for the pros like you
Yes!!! You'll have it... probably on the next week.
nothing fancy for beginning, but with your support we'll make it the best place to study, collaborate and chat.
I've decided not to reinvent the wheel and resolve this situation simple:
Main page will display releases for the last month;
recent posts will display everything that has been submitted since your last visit;
everything page will (...one day) display news from every section, and it will be presented in the "titles view" only with link to full article.
everybody will be happy now!
finally a decent Contacts page...
combining your wishes with sanity... :)
VJ's section
"retro" for all that ancient stuff
lounge - for news, thoughts etc.
Please use it! From now on, you can get banned for posting meaningless/flame comments.
If you want to show your appreciation - press the button;
if you have something important to say related to the article - then go on and write a comment.
Small widget which will show you number of people visiting this site from your country.
I'm sure it will be nice to know that you're not alone :-)
Search is now working "by Titles" by default, which will make it a lot easier to find exactly what you looking for.
As a method of fighting double-posts, I've integrated a context search on Add Article page;
- paste your title, click the magnifying glass icon and engine will do the search for you right in place!
...in my humble opinion, to say the least, it is awesome!!!
1. no PopUp message for New Messages;
from now on, you'll see your new messages notification left to the menu.
2. inbox size has increased + you will see how many messages you can store.
don't even get me started... :dance:
you will read about it in the Rules.
I think it's the greatest concept that happened to links based web-sites in years!
now you can describe your studio gear/DAW, specify social pages and... well, that's should do it for now :)
obviously, avatars uploading has been fixed.

AudioZ renders correctly under IE8 and IE9;
Although users of IE will see a banner advising them to install a better browser (FF/Chrome).
those who using previous versions of IE - i have no idea how this site looks under those, and frankly i have no words to describe how little i care about that.
obviously, there is still a lot to work on. I'll be busy on this at least one more week...
I have one small favor to ask you... please help us to keep the site clean!
I expect many mistakes from our posters, related to new categories and fresh releases.
If you see that something is wrong, please let us know about it!!!
