Hi all is it just me or are the placement of the links really awekuard now. I noticed when i logged in that the questions are now on the right side and the suspects who you are checking are down underneath. This causes one to look up down and all around. Just an opinion i think this is awekuard its to busy. Just my opinion but i thought the questions and the suspects you were checking were just fine underneath the picture. i found this much easier then the new way its set up. thoughts opinions.

Well folks, I think we need to evaluate. I usually don't like links being moved, just because it throws you off. But once you get used to change, you often see it is for the better.

But did you notice:
1. When interviewing a suspect, and going on to the next, you already have your mouse in the right place. And don't have to move it to the other side of the page.
2. Checking with evidence with townspeople is carefully still left on the left side of the screen, close to the back button.
3. For people with smaller screens, less scrolling is involved.

i think it was made because after the last look improvment ppl were complaining about the scrolling and asked ben to move the links next to picture. ben just did what we asked for.
personally i didnt mind the scrolling cause i have the scroll thingy on my mouse, but some did complain about it. i also found it strange and a bit busy looking up and down left and right, but got used to it after 3 cases.

It took time but now I like the way it is all on the right hand side. I would like the map on the top right as well, but hey that may be just me. Any way I think it's good but as I said it seemed weird at first.Thanks Ben for think of ways to improve things.

Actually Bella that is brilliant. If we have the map on the top right, and all other pictures on the top right......even less moving around. The stuff you click most would all be on the left, and so is the back button on internet explorer.

I have a scroll thingy on my mouse too, but still this is much handier.

I could go with that put all the pics on the right and the links on the left now that would make everything easier.

Ben, thank you it is way much easier 4 me. My wrist would hurt so bad trying to move & click so often. Thanx for an ergonomically correct website! 2 thumbs up here :) :) :) :)

The primary motivation was so people with smaller screens didn't have to scroll as much.

It's easy enough to change back if people decide that's best.

Actually, I think the feedback is in favour in having fit next to each other, cmfdec. With an added idea to place all pix on the right, and all links on the left (also close to the case, detective, and map buttons etc.)

I am loving my hand staying in one place, now that I am used to it.
