I've made a bunch of updates to the new interface: 1. I've added a bunch of tooltips for the various buttons which I'm hoping will help people use the new interface better. We're also in the process of updating the instructions (that you can click on on the top of the page) to be more detailed. Let me know how the tooltips are working and if there are any other changes you'd like for that. 2. We've added various animal tags for the predator and non-predator animal tags. 3. Any changes you make to an event are automatically updated in the database -- you don't need to click the update button anymore, and the update button has been removed. 4. When clicking on the time text areas, the behavior used to be that it would automatically update to the current time. This can be annoying if you want to change the time already in there (as it would be updated to the current time in the video). Now, if there is no time entered it will update to the current time in the video, otherwise it will let you edit the time already entered. Still to do: 1. Get the discuss event button working (it's the blue comment button on the side). 2. Add a button to specify difficulty of watching the video (I think we'll just have this default to easy and let you change it otherwise). Should this be on a per-event basis or for the entire video? 3. Add buttons to either view the next video in time at the nest, or a random new video. 4. Get the validator working for the new interface. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or problems with the new interface! And here's the link to test it out again: http://volunteer.cs.und.edu/wildlife/watch2.php?species=1&location=1 cheers, --Travis
