New ornitho design: current adjustments and tips

ornitho.de and ornitho.lu have been offering a new, revised interface since the end of October 2024. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the large amount of feedback we have received. Almost 700 messages were sent via the feedback system using the ‘bug button’ in the header.

In addition to a lot of praise for a better overview, utilisation of the entire screen area and easier operation of mobile devices, there was also criticism, of course. This is to be expected with every change, but in many cases the feedback was very constructive and therefore helpful for us. A few ‘teething troubles’ were already resolved in the first few days after the release. Some purely visual adjustments have also been made since then (e.g. icons replaced) and pages that had not yet been converted to the responsive design at the beginning have now been changed.

Most recently, by popular request, we have moved the menus ‘All my data’ and ‘My species list’ to the ‘Participate!’ section. This way, your own contributions can be found next to each other to a large extent and hopefully the menu structure is even more intuitive.

We would also like to take this opportunity to share a few tips and tricks with you that we think will make using the new version easier:

  1. Observation overviews: The former menus ‘Last 2 days’ etc. were missed by many users. These have been summarised in the restructuring of the menu and can now be found (with reports from the last 5 days) under ‘News’ > ‘Recent observations’. The observations displayed there are based on your personal settings and can be customised.
  2. Zoom level: The variation in the screens used is enormous and ornitho.de/lu cannot be configured ideally for all circumstances. However, you can intervene yourself using the browser's zoom level and set the page to 90%, for example. To do this, press the Ctrl key and scroll with the mouse wheel, or press the Ctrl key and use the + or - keys to change the zoom level. Alternatively, you can also set this in your browser's settings. The selected zoom level will be saved and will only apply to ornitho.de/lu. Other websites you visit will remain unchanged.
  3. Ctrl key: The Ctrl key can be used to open content in a new tab. This is very helpful, for example, if you want to view several observations in succession in the detailed view. If you hold down this key while clicking on the ‘notepad symbol’, a new tab will open instead of the ‘pop-up window’ that has been used on the page up to now.
  4. ‘X’ button: Detailed views of observations, details of place names and other users' business cards now open in a kind of “pop-up window” within the page. However, to return to the place on the page where you were before closing a detailed view, the window must be closed using the ‘X’ button at the top right of the window – not using the ‘Back’ button of the browser or device.

We hope that these tips will make it even easier for you to use the new interface. We are optimistic that even our critics will gradually get used to the new design and recognise its advantages. We are also working with the development team to implement further improvements, such as localising the photos on the home page. Suggestions for improvement are still welcome via the feedback button at the top of the page!

Your ornitho.de and ornitho.lu team
