Test Site

admin's picture

Well, the new version of Drupal is available. I've installed a temporary test system at
http://drupal7.speechcomputing.com/ to see what happens.

There are a lot of changes, primarily under the hood. One of the new features for users is the ability to size text input areas to what they want by grabbing a 'grip' on the lower right of the area and moving it where they want. They have also 'collapsed' the menus at the bottom of messages so it's a bit shorter. Clicking on one opens it, clicking again collapses it.

I'd like for you all to give it a once over, see what it does and what it doesn't do. It's a test system so it's missing some of the bells and whistles I've put here, but that will happen when I migrate this site to the newer software.

Leave your messages over there as that's where I'll look for them! Usernames/passwords have not been migrated. Just register there under whatever you want. It'll be deleted down the road anyway!

I look forward to your comments/suggestions!

I tried it out on this message, but there was no grip.

I haven't found any changes in this.

The tests were all carried out on this message.

Quite frankly, I cannot see why any further changes are necessary. This site is one of the easiest to navigate that I have come across.

Quentin, you'll only see the changes when you are at the test site (http://drupal7.speechcomputing.com/) and not on the normal site. Notice the drupal7 at the beginning before .speechcomputing.com . That's a whole different site.

Let me know what you think about the new features over there.
