change the GSU home page appearance
The contents on the homepage are moving too fast. The web page is not displaying the desired message in a readable way for the visitor to browse through the different contents.

Remove the "gross guy" from the home page
As a GSU alum, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in regarding the home page. It's a bit off-putting when the first thing you see is, well, I'm not really sure what I am seeing - a "thing" is the best way to describe it.
I am sure it is meant to be tongue-in-cheek but it's a bit much and not what I would expect for a collegiate home page

Bottom hlf is great. The gray bar that flies up when you mouse the header image is distracting.
Hi! A lot of this is neat and visual, but I find the gray pop-up box that appears when you mouse over the header image highly visually distracting (to the point of it being annoying) and unnecessary. Any chance that the giant gray bar there could obscure less of the image, or go away entirely? It's clear without the big gray bar that the item is clickable--the current homepage functions that way, and is lovely. Has that visual element been usability tested? Thank you!
17 votesWe’ve moved away from this in the latest theme and took the information to make the latest version flexible enough to not have to use this method.

Add an email option
I love the option to post to facebook and twitter. How about an email option as well to avoid copying & pasting the url?

make departments searchable on the map page!
If you're looking for a GSU department, you should be able to search for it on the map and it should lead you to the correct building that houses that department's main office.
10 votesWe are going to mark this under review to see if it can get more votes. A this time the data to create such a feature is not easily sustained and there are multiple departments in multiple locations. I would like to see if more people request this feature.
The latest map has some of this. Departments are hard, but the search tool will continue to be refined to include more information.

change 404 page
Instead of Pounce and the latest tweet on the 404 page, can you put some useful information, such as where to report a broken link, and maybe a link to some of the useful navigation hubs, like the A-Z department list? The tweet (and even Pounce) is fine, but it's not really helping users who are lost in the new pages, and we've already gotten some complaints from prospective students and parents about it. Adding a default broken link instructional paragraph before the tweet would do wonders.
7 votesEach site in the latest theme can have a custom 404 page. We have developed a template for release later this summer.

Do you want to go to a live in class/lab session, a live GoToMeeting session, Watch archived short videos, or read knowledge based articles.

3 votesTraining is now available. Please contact the exchange for options and scheduling by visiting: http://technology.gsu.edu/technology-services/it-services/labs-and-classrooms/innovative-academic-facilities/exchange/

Add more specific attributes to the hero box shortcode in wordpress
I've noticed that the Carousel shortcode allows you to get specific text box alignments (e.g "bottomright," "topleft") .
Hero boxes only allow left, right, none alignments, we cannot control vertical alignments at all. Could we please get the ability to specify?
6 votesCheck out the updated article that includes all the new hero box functionality including vertical alignment, new colors, and transparency.

Thanks for the great idea.

Move the feedback button away from the scoll-down button
Where the feedback button is placed makes it difficult to maneuver through the site.
5 votesWe moved the website feedback link to the footer. Thanks for the idea.

update print template not to print URLs.
We have had numerous complaints from faculty and students re: the print template showing URLs that obscure the main content. Is it possible to develop a new template without the URLs or that places the URLs at the bottom of the page or somewhere else out of the way?
5 votesA print function has been made available for site/page designers to implement.

Add a print/PDF/Email button
Would love to see each article have a print/PDF/email options to be able to send this out to others. I love that there are already social media buttons.
5 votesClynton,
This is under review. We currently have options in test to produce as positive result as possible for all of the features we offer for content display. These features used to work well with long streaming ages of text, but now with the sophistication of “active” objects like tabs and sliders it is difficult to produce the printed object from that designed to produce am exceptional digital experience. An additional item to test with “print” is the moblie expectation of such function.
That said we will look into it and try to find a balance.
Printer Friendly is on every site and available to be part of several parts of the new theme.

put a link to the W-2 somewhere people can ******* find it
I've spent maybe 45 minutes wandering from site to site trying to find a link to a downloadable PDF of my W-2, because I lost my paper copy. I can't find that anywhere. It's not in PAWS, it's not here (as far as I can see), it's ******* nowhere.
Let me give you a basic course in website design: organize your web-site according to what users will want, not by how your department is organized. Identify the resources that your users are likely to want, and put links to those resources right on the front page, even if that results…5 votesThanks for the feedback. A direct link is available under the “Human Resources” options on the “Faculty/Staff” menu at the top of the page. Good idea to make this more visible.

Interactive map should show MARTA stops
The interactive map does not show where the MARTA stops are.
Also, there is a phone number on the map, but no e-mail.5 votesWe have a ton of ideas for the map and this is a great one. Thanks.
We have added the Marta rail stations as we have access to these. We will continue to add transit items as they become available sources for the map.
The phone numbers on the map are designed to accommodate people who are lost and need to speak with a live person. We do not currently have an email account monitored the same way to provide that kind of support.
we will add a link to http://gsu.edu/contact-us.

add the share toolbar to each post.
Not sure if this has already been suggested, but we'd love the user to be able to share posts/pages on social media using the share toolbar.
5 votesHi,
Each page or post now has a share option in the upper right of the header. This header also “moves” down the page as the reader scrolls to make sure it is easily available.
Thanks,
Cody

make the 'commkit.gsu link on the GSU map the PRIMARY map, as opposed to requiring outsiders guess at clicking the icon in the top right cor
When a user-- including GSU students, faculty, and staff-- clicks 'map' on the GSU web page they are taken to a page that does not initially identify all of the buildings by name. It is only on enlarging the page that this happens. The 'commkit.gsu...' link has a list of building names and their relative locations more easily identifiable, and I believe it would be more useful to have that page as the initial 'campus map' url
4 votesWe implemented a new campus map tool that offers this feature as well as more options to share specific filters, locations and more.
