>>> Hi Joe
>>>
>>> Here is my reply to the current set of notes and changes:
>>>
>>> *Home / Courses*
>>>
>>> On the home page, the Courses section is obscure on a mobile, as the top
>>> banner disappears by the time you reach it, and sizing wise it is a
>>> little too
>>> dominant and it’s not obvious the scroll underneath is the way to look
>>> through more. *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>> Also at this point, if you want to see all the courses, there is no
>>> hyperlink next
>>> to this section. *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>> The courses also do not show their dates in a dominant fashion
>>> on the home page, which is a key piece of data for our visitors.
>>> *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>> *Can we have the course title and the date in sentence case, not
>>> capitals please. So instead of *
>>>
>>> *DIGITAL RECTAL EXAMINATION & PELVIC FLOOR MASTERCLASS*
>>> *05 SEP 2024*
>>>
>>> *It should be*
>>>
>>> *Digital Masterclass Examination & Pelvic Floor Masterclass*
>>> *05 Sept 2024*
>>>
>>> *The font is an okay size on the smartphone, but the text is massive on
>>> a computer. Take it down a couple of notches, but not as small as the
>>> descriptive text excerpt of course. This will also help the date from
>>> having a end of line break. See: 16 OCT 2024 – 18 OCT 2024 as an example. *
>>>
>>> *Also, while you have been making changes, the date field ‘From’ has
>>> gone into the wrong format. It now displays like so on all courses:
>>> 20241016*
>>>
>>> The ordering of courses, wherever they are displayed, should be date
>>> order, whereas generally
>>> they show as alphabetic order based on title. *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>> On a mobile, the scroll bar is clunky and especially doesn’t work when
>>> it it
>>> scrolled far right, it is hard to re-grab the circle and pull it back
>>> left. *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>> I have been trying to change the red lion icon for the courses, but have
>>> been
>>> unable to do so. Adding banners or media to the course doesn’t update the
>>> icon on the course list.
>>> *I have now been able to add an icon image, thank you*
>>>
>>> On Courses, multiple-day courses only show their first day on the
>>> preview page and home page. Can we improve this?
>>> *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>> When you are on a specific course, the date field still shows a dash,
>>> even if it is a one day course.
>>> *Changed, thanks / **but the start date is now in the wrong format as
>>> mentioned above = 20240905*
>>>
>>> The course information is restricted to a thin column to the left.
>>> *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>> Pictures continue to be heavily cropped in this section. See Frontiers
>>> 2024 as a good example.
>>> *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Education Courses*
>>>
>>> In the search bar, it does not find courses in November if you type Nov
>>> 2024
>>> for example. *No change, please check*
>>>
>>> – *this is currently under discussion (your last email)*
>>> –
>>>
>>> Courses that have expired don’t drop off the live list and go into the
>>> archive
>>> list. *Changed, thanks*
>>> When the computer browser is resized, the red bubbles coating the date
>>> can
>>> resize into ovals. *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Photo cropping problems and text captions*
>>>
>>> I created new square versions of the problem photos in the way you
>>> described,
>>> but it didn’t help matters, they are still badly cropped.
>>> *Cropping photos has improved, I have still seen it in the Find out more
>>> bubble in History, but I have removed this formatting and introduced
>>> WYSIWIG CONTENT. However this field does not show on the updated page, even
>>> though it shows in the editor, please check.*
>>>
>>> I am also having problems with the text under the photo that is the
>>> caption. I
>>> have tried adding it in the caption box in the photo editor, but it puts
>>> the
>>> sentence away from the picture and adds it on to the end of the next
>>> paragraph. If you don’t do that and simply put the text in the main
>>> paragraph
>>> flow instead, the text is uncomfortably far from the photo and looks
>>> like it is
>>> associated with the next para as well.
>>> *I have not seen an improvement to adding captions to photos. *
>>>
>>> HOME PAGE
>>> Photo cropping exists on the home page as well, for example the Dinh Mai
>>> Prize photo is affected by resizing the browser. *Changed, thanks*
>>> The ‘Spotlight on Research’ lion logo in the bottom left has an opaque
>>> rectangle around the logo. *Changed, thanks*
>>>
>>> *Research / Research fellows*
>>>
>>> The staff categories list needs to be changed to allow research-fellows
>>> to be
>>> the correct staff list. *This is showing ‘research-fellows’ tags now,
>>> thank you*
>>>
>>> Will we be able to add multiple tags to these selections? For example,
>>> if I wished to show research-fellows AND research-consultants in this list,
>>> is that possible.
>>> *This looks possible now, but I haven’t tested it. **There looks like
>>> there will be a problem that the consultants and research fellows all get
>>> mixed together, rather than they are in separate sections.*
>>>
>>>
>>> *Services + Resources + Books etc.*
>>>
>>> The red boxes are different sizes on a computer browser (Mac Safari)
>>> *This is better now, thank you*
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Consultants*
>>>
>>> The ordering of consultants is on the first name, but should be surname.
>>> *This is correct, thank you*
>>>
>>> RESEARCH / RESEARCH FELLOWS
>>> The alphabetised surnames is not across the whole site, for example the
>>> research fellows do not show in alphabetised order (I have added two people
>>> to illustrate this). *This is correct, thank you*
>>>
>>> Some of the consultants cannot be clicked to their bio page, even though
>>> they
>>> have one. The only way to fix it is to unselect ‘has own page’, update
>>> the page,
>>> then reselect ‘has own page’, and update.
>>> *It looks like the error has been corrected by unchecking and rechecking
>>> the button and updating. The bug may still persist later though, I will do
>>> a test.*
>>>
>>> IN SEARCH Consultants, you have the option to choose a tag to limit the
>>> entries. One tag is *Nurse Leads*, but if you type *Nurse Leads* into
>>> the search text field, it doesn’t find anything because it is only looking
>>> at names.
