Black This Out Moneybomb Beta Launch!

[dusman]

http://www.blackthisout.com is back live and taking pledges!

We'll be pulling in all the prior pledges already made into the database tomorrow, but I thought I'd throw this out here so you all can critique it and check for any bugs for us.

We're working on several other features that will be deployed soon! Lot's of great things coming, for those who haven't kept up on our thread! As we solidify plans, I'll update this thread with a feature list.

Let me know what you all think!

A special thanks to Chainspell for letting us use his awesome video for the time being, until we can put a themed video in place!

Oops, I probably need a thank you page!

Are you ZIP 48867? If so, it put you in and updated counter. You may need to refresh.

 

[dusman]

Ok, I threw up a quick thank you page.

Looks so classy, great great design.

I tested it, it worked partially. The amount of the pledge part didn't work. But it did seem to properly submit. I also tried the emailing component of share this and that worked.

It looks great.

Hmm, was the slider function broken or did you pass by it without realizing the slider controls the pledge amount? That's one thing I'm a bit concerned with.

 

[Dark Aerow]

Could it be possible to make the pledge button clickable after they've filled out the information or just make the pledge button lead to a new page where you fill out the information.

Thats where I got confused. I didn't even notice the slider.

Other than that, the new design looks fantastic. Great work.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to dusman again.

Looks freaking amazing! Great job.

 

[AdamT]

Won't accept data in the amount field.

 

[dusman]

Ok, I added a little cue for the slider. I had a feeling that might cause some issues. It was definitely a bit odd, with no instruction.

Oh, duh. Got it figured out now haha.

I would recommend making the site copy font size larger. It's a bit hard to read.

Edit - maybe you could make that little red slider look more like a handle?

Looks awesome. Very edgy.

Yeah.. for some reason it won't let me use an image for the handle! It's been a thorn in my side for like 30 minutes. Argh.

So, do I need to pledge again?

 

[dusman]

So, do I need to pledge again?

You can if you'd like. I'm keeping a small window open if people didn't get a chance to pledge an amount. I'll delete any duplicate e-mails with empty amounts.

 

[lucky_bg]

I love it! Great work!

First of all +rep for a great job.

I have a few suggestions and hopefully you don't mind. The date of the money bomb needs to be prominent and if possible needs to be included in the banner or right below it. Also, a prominent link to Ron Paul's official site needs to be present including a message/disclaimer that all contributions are to be made to the official site. The older version of blackthisout website did have this so maybe something similar. Thank you for all of your activism!

Agreed! We'll be adding a whole lot more over the next few weeks.

It doesn't say our Goal is to get 1 million pledges on the site anymore.

without realizing the slider.

I just played with it and it works well
