Hotseat tool revisions
Categories:
The success of the Hotseat tool just makes me want to make it even better. I spent some time last night making some revisions, thanks to Andy Roberts, Linda Hartley, Sarah Hackett and many other people who used the hotseat tool over the past two weeks.
These are the revisions:
- I have implemented a better hotseat 'page navigation' menu which displays the number of pages depending on the number of questions posted, e.g. page links don't appear until more than 10 questions, then gradually increase with 20, 30, 40 .... questions. The next hotseat, with Maria Phillips was made available this morning to researchers. I can't believe that at the end of the day, 10 (9 actually) questions have been posted already! Come on, I need another one just to see if the new page links work!
- Many researchers requested that the responses made by the hotseat guest are listed in a colour that will distinguish these from other participants. You should notice that the Hotseat guest now posts responses in a lovely shade of green
- I have added a note above the 'Add a question' text box, encouraging researches to phrase their question in the first 20 words. This will enable me to build a navigation menu of questions so that you can browse and jump straight to the question and responses. Most people have adhered to this - so be ready for when a summary of questions is available.
Lots more still to do, suggestions on the back of a postcard....alternatively add a comment here.

hotseat moans
Sorry Jonathan:(
Just posted my question to the new hotseat. It went on to page 2 said it had been successfully added & then when I tried to access it droped a java script error box. I was using Safari. The other changes sound good, especially the colour for guest responses. Good luck sorting out the Drupal/blogdrive issue,
all the best

The whole tool works really well and I'm glad you've chosen a lovely shade of green for the guest's comment!- Maria will be pleased!
