dzone_5 DZone.com的可用性建议

dzone

DZone.com has quickly become one of my favorite programming-related internet websites. DZone provides a wealth of fresh, interesting development-related links to articles, announcements, and code snippets. DZone also provides bloggers a great way to get their articles the credit and attention they deserve. Unlike Digg, DZone has a specific target audience and since I fall into that audience, I continue to be a loyal visitor to the website.

DZone.com已Swift成为我最喜欢的与编程相关的互联网网站之一。 DZone提供了许多与开发相关的新鲜有趣的链接，这些链接指向文章，公告和代码段。 DZone还为博客提供了一种很好的方式来使他们的文章获得应有的信誉和关注。 与Digg不同，DZone具有特定的目标受众，并且由于我属于该受众群体，因此我继续是该网站的忠实访问者。

My appreciation for the DZone website doesn't, however, prevent me from seeing some big holes in DZone. Usability is a major concern among DZone users and it's clear there are some issues on the website that need attention. I've compiled a list of usability issues on DZone in the hopes that other DZone users will comment and add to this post. This post isn't a giant bitchfest about DZone -- it's a place where users can suggest solutions to issues they see on the website.

但是，我对DZone网站的欣赏并不能阻止我看到DZone中的一些大漏洞。 可用性是DZone用户中的一个主要问题，很明显，网站上存在一些需要注意的问题。 我已经整理了有关DZone的可用性问题列表，希望其他DZone用户可以发表评论并添加到这篇文章中。 这篇文章不是有关DZone的大话题，而是一个地方，用户可以在此为他们在网站上看到的问题提供解决方案。

记住我在文章列表中的位置 (Remember My Place In The Article List)

DZone uses an unique system for browsing its list of articles: when your scrollbar hits the bottom of the page, you see an image that tells you that more articles are coming and viola -- the power of AJAX places more articles at the end of the page. A system like this has many positives: less bandwidth usage, the "wow" factor, and quicker load time. The problem is that if you refresh the page or click into an article and click back, you lose your "place" in the list. Essentially, if you click on the 51st article in the list and click your back button, you need to scroll down to the bottom of the page and wait for two more "cycles" of articles to load into the page. Keeping your place in the article list has become a task.

DZone使用独特的系统浏览其文章列表：当滚动条到达页面底部时，您会看到一个图像，该图像告诉您更多文章即将到来，而中提琴– AJAX的强大功能将更多文章置于文章末尾页。 像这样的系统有很多优点：更少的带宽使用，“哇”因素和更快的加载时间。 问题在于，如果刷新页面或单击进入文章并单击返回，则会丢失列表中的“位置”。 本质上，如果您单击列表中的第51条文章，然后单击“后退”按钮，则需要向下滚动到页面底部，并等待另外两个“周期”的文章加载到页面中。 在文章列表中保持自己的位置已成为一项任务。

My solution is to save the user's place in the list when you make the AJAX call. Saving the user's place in the list should be relatively easy -- simply use a session variable. When the index page loads (from either a new visit or from someone clicking "back"), simply request the number of articles plus a chosen page increment (25) that's recorded in the session. If no value is present in the session, use your default of 1 - 25.

我的解决方案是在拨打AJAX时将用户的位置保存在列表中。 将用户的位置保存在列表中应该相对容易-只需使用会话变量即可。 加载索引页面时(无论是来自新的访问还是来自单击“后退”的人)，只需请求文章数以及会话中记录的选定页面增量(25)。 如果会话中没有值，请使用默认值1-25。

创建一个上升链接页面 (Create A Rising Links Page)

The "Rising Links" tab on the left is great. I can see which articles are likely the most worth reading by the number of views and votes an article receives. I can quickly give an up or down vote to the article and move on. I can also request the next page worth of rising links with one click. The ease of use of the functionality within the tab is great. The main issue is that a user with a small vertical resolution (like myself with my laptop -- 1280x800) can't see most of the rising links because the advertisement on the left is z-indexed above the articles. Quite frankly, I can't use DZone on my laptop.

左侧的“上升链接”标签很棒。 通过文章获得的观看次数和投票数，我可以看到哪些文章最值得阅读。 我可以Swift对文章投上反对票或否决票，然后继续。 我也可以一键请求下一页的上升链接。 选项卡中功能的易用性非常好。 主要问题是，垂直分辨率较小的用户(例如我的笔记本电脑为1280x800)无法看到大多数上升链接，因为左侧的广告在文章上方为z索引。 坦率地说，我无法在笔记本电脑上使用DZone。

My solution is to create a separate "Rising Links" page. This will prevent the advertisement on the bottom left side of the screen from obstructing my view of the popular articles.

我的解决方案是创建一个单独的“上升链接”页面。 这样可以防止屏幕左下方的广告妨碍我对热门文章的观看。

允许通过主页上的标签访问“保存”和“共享”链接 (Allow "Save" & "Share" Links To Be Accessed Via Tab On The Homepage)

Any frequent visitor to my site knows that I post a summary of great programming articles and announcements in my Weekend Links section. DZone has always been a great place for me to find these articles and the "save" feature has been an especially useful function of the DZone website. Unfortunately, neither "Save" or "Share" are accessible by using the [tab] key on the homepage. Pressing "tab" skips over "Save" and "Share", from the number of comments to the first "tag."

任何经常访问我网站的访问者都知道，我在“ 周末链接”部分中发布了精彩的编程文章摘要和公告。 DZone一直是我找到这些文章的好地方，“保存”功能一直是DZone网站的一项特别有用的功能。 不幸的是，使用主页上的[tab]键都无法访问“保存”或“共享”。 按下“制表符”会从注释数到第一个“标签”跳过“保存”和“共享”。

Unfortunately I don't have a solution to prescribe -- I'm confused as to why both Firefox and Internet Explorer skip over these two links.

不幸的是，我没有规定的解决方案-为什么Firefox和Internet Explorer都跳过这两个链接，我感到困惑。

在会员标签和“上升链接” /“热门” /“标签”标签之间放置更多空间 (Place More Space Between The Affiliate Tabs And The "Rising Links"/"Popular"/"Tags" Tabs)

Whenever I move my mouse toward the "Rising Links" area of the page, I need to be careful not to trip the Sun and Nexaweb tabs. Why? Because I don't want the tab to drop down and cover up all of the content I was trying to get to. I have no interest in the content of these advertiser / affiliate tabs.

每当我将鼠标移到页面的“ Rising Links”区域时，我都必须注意不要使Sun和Nexaweb选项卡跳闸。 为什么？ 因为我不希望该选项卡下拉并掩盖我尝试访问的所有内容。 我对这些广告客户/会员标签的内容不感兴趣。

My solutions is to add top margin to the "Rising Links," "Popular," and "Tags" tabs. I'll check out the affiliate links if I'm interested.

我的解决方案是在“上升链接”，“受欢迎”和“标签”标签中添加上边距。 如果有兴趣，我会检查会员链接。

使“发送”链接模态 (Make The "Send" Link Modal)

I send articles I've found on DZone to my friends often, but why do I have to go to another page to do it? AJAX and JavaScript functions are used all over your website -- why not here?

我经常将在DZone上找到的文章发送给我的朋友，但是为什么我必须转到另一个页面来做呢？ 您的网站上遍布使用AJAX和JavaScript函数-为什么不在这里？

My solution is to make the "Send" link page content go to a modal window without changing pages. A modal window will allow me to still see (although faintly) the article description which will allow me to write a better summary of the article to my friends. A better summary means more clicks into the DZone website.

我的解决方案是使“发送”链接页面内容转到模式窗口而不更改页面。 模态窗口将使我仍然可以(尽管有些微弱)看到文章说明，这将使我能够向朋友们撰写一篇更好的文章摘要。 更好的摘要意味着更多点击DZone网站。

At the time of writing this article, clicking the "Cancel" button on the "Share This Link" screen (email) triggers a 404 error. Ooops! May want to fix that!

在撰写本文时，单击“共享此链接”屏幕(电子邮件)上的“取消”按钮会触发404错误。 哎呀！ 可能想解决这个问题！

The above detail what I have observed on DZone. Coupled with my proposed solutions, I belive DZone can easily be improved. If you have any other suggestion or solutions, please contribute by way of the comment box below. Remember, complaints don't improve the site -- solutions do.

以上是我在DZone上观察到的详细信息。 结合我提出的解决方案，我相信DZone可以轻松得到改进。 如果您有任何其他建议或解决方案，请通过下面的评论框做出贡献。 请记住，投诉并不能改善站点-解决方案可以改善站点。
