Disable Lazyload - reply

I found the answer guys in another forum post – http://screencast.com/t/WgoZUWLp

Would be good if that section was named LazyLoad instead of Image Animations 🙂

A secondary question – are you intending on making your JS work with RocketLoader in Cloudflare?

Ing Geek – ha! Good point…

I suppose from a simple view I took a couple of family members (various ages but all adults) and asked them to search DeeperBlue.com (and they had seen previous design) – almost without a fault they found it difficult/confusing at first.

By saying lots of other sites do it doesn’t make it right from a UX perspective – take the burger icon (three lines on mobile) – it’s ubiquitous yet the majority of people (who don’t work in IT/Web) still struggle with understanding there is stuff under there…

Chris – sure and i’ve done something similar (i.e added a search box at top of sidebar).

Chris – that may be true but from a UX perspective still a big no-no 🙂 Anyway just wanted to see if anything would/could be done easily without hiring contractors.

Chris – true about the mobile bit.

From a UX perspective on desktop having to click disrupts the flow – having it appear on hover would be much better. For mobile it can be set for on-click. I use Mashable as an example as they do exactly that.

The answer may be go off and either code it myself or hire someone to do it but still think it is a valid UX concern on an amazing theme 🙂

Ing Geek – this is more about the icon on the main menu – http://monosnap.com/image/kbCRlxwhZ3APm7Pd2mFV2FjNNO5iKT – it requires a user to click on it to show the search box – http://monosnap.com/image/YTYzuDBDcIwJhp6yMeuz0LkhT1l9kS

What i’d like is either show a search box by default in the menu or change the behaviour to show the search box when someone mouses over the search icon.

Or at least show the search dropdown when the user hovers their mouse over it like Mashable does?

Choose a base colour and then go here: http://paletton.com/

It will generate a colour scheme based on an original base colour.

Pedro – we used to use Campaign Monitor but moved to Mail Chimp last year. Much better integration solutions there. My personal view is don’t use WP powered solutions but offload to an ESP service like Mail Chimp.

We’ve just moved over to Newspaper 6 (we came over from the Copyblogger Studiopress range of themes). Amazing theme in Newspaper and very happy with the results. We are going to continue tweaking the design and backend speed improvements over the coming weeks but site is fully live:
