New Blue Sheet

wwwww · April 23, 2014, 07:03:10 PM

I've just finished the new version of the Blue Sheet. The main reason for the change was to introduce mobile and tablet support (not sure if it works well on tablets yet) and to speed everything up.

The new version should work much quicker and the mobile support will allow you to look up values, articles, etc while away from the desk.

The two new features as per request are the photo library while allows you to look up numerous photos for any given coin (there are over 7000 on file) and the full category listing view. Some times it was awkward looking up coin values, particularly for decimal commemorative where you'd have to go through each category for each coin, now you can look them all up on one page, e.g.:
http://www.bluesheet.com.au/Australia/Decimal/Fifty_Cent/values-1.html

The photo library was actually available to me in previous versions but it was never publicly available (mainly because it slowed everything down).

You can check it all out here:

It still follows a blue colour scheme even though there's less of it now.

How do you find navigating the site? Do you feel the login button hidden away in the top-right is hard to find? How about the use of arrows to navigate through a coin's page?

Took a little while to find the login but once you know.....

When you scroll thru to the individual years and see the values for each grade there are some % changes e.g. a 1914 halfpenny at MS62BN is valued @ $410 and -33%. I assume the % is a change in value from when?

It's a one year change, I think the header row went missing somehow.

I am not really impressed with the new set up.
It's harder to navigate and it is infested with adds .
Less information on each page and every one has an advertising pop up.
The pop ups are fine I suppose if you are viewing the public pages but subscribers shouldn't have to put up with the advertisements.

drakesterling · April 27, 2014, 11:03:29 AM

I don't think there are pop ups on the Bluesheet. I certainly don't have them. Walter?

I am logged in and the bottom of each page has pop ups :dash1:

As attached. I assume this is what trout is referring to.

That's it mate, Bloody annoying.

I cant seem to find the grading photos now.
And I'd agree with trout - the popups are extremely annoying.
This one is a bit odd:
