A heads-up about the Zooniverse home page and platform

  • DZM by DZM Zooniverse Team

    Hey Zooniverse folks,

    Just a heads-up that sometime very soon, almost certainly tonight, the Zooniverse home page is going to shift over to a new design that supports our new project platform. There may be some downtime associated with this.

    Once it comes back up, you may notice a few differences; for instance, a username change may be required to access projects on the new platform if you have a space or symbol in your username. The new profile pages also may be missing some elements for a while (a week or more, even), but don’t worry: your stats and classification counts have been preserved, and they are migrating and coming back!

    Please note that all current Zooniverse projects and Talks will be unaffected and should continue to operate just as they have. This will not affect this project you are currently on!

    The first version of the new Talk system is also attached to the new home page, and feedback will be very important in how we move forward with it. There is also now a central Zooniverse Talk where we hope that people from all projects will be able to mingle and discuss common topics… like, for instance, all of these changes and updates!

    Finally, there should be a post from Chris Lintott on the Zooniverse Blog soon explaining these changes in more detail.

    Any questions or feedback once it launches, please chime in on the Zooniverse Talk. See you there!

    Onwards and upwards,

    DZM

    This was a bit premature from Darren. The site is not ready to switch over yet, but hopefully will be in the next few days. Watch this space!

    It's now up, and running (sorta). It has a lot of promise, but is still very much in shake-down mode, so don't be surprised if there are some hiccups ...
