Could anyone spare 5 minutes testing the staging website over at:
http://revtk-staging.koohii.com/
Other than the recent "iVocab Shuffle" experiment I uploaded there, there are a few optimisations which I announced before:
- The Study page only uses one stylesheet and one javascript file
- The Flashcard Review page only uses two stylesheets and one javascript file
I'd love to hear from mobile or netbook users if you can feel a difference in page load speed. Keep in mind the very first time you go there doesn't count because the browser cache is empty.
If you use a uncommon browser/device then your input is very important. Do you use a Wii, a PSP browser , an iPhone, a less known browser ? Please let me know if the study page or flashcard review pages don't work as they do on the live site.
Please try:
- edit a story,
- vote/unvote/ star etc
- browse
- review some cards and check the review status
- Manage > add a selection of cards (eg. "10-20"), remove a selection of cards
- login/logout, update your password
Keep in mind that the STAGING website has a different database. You can create a new account there, or delete flashcards and so on. You'll notice the background image is different (it says "DEVELOPMENT VERSION"), and also double check the url if you have doubts, or just create a new account if you want to be safe.
The live site is going to be updated soon. Development wise this is a great step, because the site is going to be updated FINALLY with the version controll'ed codebase.
I know this is confusing because I said before that the live site was updated with a "refactored" codebase. That's correct but until September or so it was not under version control. The live site currently does not use the Open Source version that has tweaks to protect the database passwords and so on. These tweaks shouldn't bring new bugs, but the javascript/css optimizations could very well.
I NEED YOUR HELP TO AVOID BUGS IN PRODUCTION IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.
It's very hard to test everything myself as I have only one configuration.
After this update, then the next ones will be less risky because I will finally be able to revert any changes if any nasty bugs shows in production, and at the same time give me more freedom to upload experiments, with a "clean" copy of the site always at hand.

I did all that you requested, and I found no problems. The only point that bugged me, the same as the original version, with Skyfire on my Motorola Q9c, I can enter a search term on the study page, but my browser has no way to "press enter", and there is no button that I can click to activate the search. It's a little thing, and an existing situation.

@CharleyGarret: sorry I looked at it but I'm out of ideas. I can't make the text box smaller, and adding another row of buttons under is really ugly because they have to be long 
Isn't there any other way to do this on those mobile browsers? Can't you "type" in the Enter character? I looked at Skyfire, it looks like it supports javascript. So when you type in something it should open a drop down, can you tap cursor down there ? If you press cursor down it should go into the drop down first row highlighted, then second row and so on (only when you get to "..." it was supposed to scroll but that's broken since a while...). But yeah then you have to press enter again, although in that case mouseclick works too, so assuming you search on text, and you can press cursor down, then tap the entry with a stylus ?
I gave a quick test on my iPhone (all the stuff mentioned above).
All looks good to me, nothing out of the ordinary.
I did notice one very small thing.
When I logged out, and went to the sign in page, my password wasn't remembered.
I tried this on the main site and had the same issue.
I use RevTK on my iphone a bit, and I don't have to login each time, so it's just when you log out or don't use the site for a long time, you have to enter your password again.
Most likely something to do with Safari on the iPhone, as I'm pretty sure I never had issues with this on Safari on OSX or Firefox (windows, OSX).

When you sign out it clears the cookie, that's the normal behaviour. It is so that you can make sure there is no cookie left when you are in an Internet Cafe and so on, even if you clicked "Remember me" (well now I think it's titled "Keep me logged in").
Second to that is NOT checking "Keep me logged in" while Signing In. Then when you close the window, your cookie is gone.
And last, you Sign In and DO check "Keep me logged in", the cookie will last for 15 days or until you Sign Out, or until you clear cookies in the browser (Privacy options), or whichever reason causes the cookie files to be deleted from your computer (eg. paranoid "anti virus" software).

Tested it out on my ipod touch 2g with firmware 3.1.2, netbook and laptop with Vista/Firefox 3.62 and everything works, speed seemed the same on all of them. One thing, though:

Where is the vote/unvote option? I couldn't test it because I didn't see it and I was wondering if I just missed it or if it's not showing up. Next to the stories there is only star, report and copy. If that's normal then all is well.

I've just moved to windows 7 and tried the test site in firefox (3.6.2).
On the study page the star/report/copy buttons appear offset down and left a bit, but while you mouse-over and them they pop back to their original location...??
..
...Actually just tried the main (non-test) site and they do the same thing there too! Must be a win7 problem. Anyone else had this with windows 7 and firefox??
