Click and the lead job is just down the street, that was impressive.

OSNews attracts a fair share of talented techies and in today's market most are always on the lookout for better prospects. Perhaps I'll post opportunities for my new business when it gets off the ground. I'm hoping to work out the details within the next 6 months and if for some reason that doesn't flesh out I'll still be able to search this site for a job.

I always see developers wanted on various projects, it'll be nice to see them in one place.

Looks good on FF2.0 Ubuntu 1024x768.

I wonder if there is going to be a clearer distinction needed between paying and non-paying positions? I think of them as two different types of search. I suppose that issues of this sort will become more apparent when the site starts to fill up with jobs content.Edited 2006-12-05 07:46 Tue, 05 Dec 2006 07:44:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (rhyder) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?188243 http://osnews.com/thread?188243 Backup Job Board to OSNews.com don't work neither in IE 6 nor FF 2.

Error message:
"Uh-oh! There has been an error of some sort!"

An optional integration with the OSNews.com account database would be helpful. If someone has an OSNews.com account he is also logged in when he visit the "jobs" sub-website; of course you can make it optional.

btw. "Careerbuilder" looks a bit out-of-place and don't fit with the rest of the website (even outsourced service can be customed in most cases). And the "Careerbuilder" has some graphical glitches in both IE 6 and FF 2.

But overall, good implementation.


P.S.: "Database Queries" hidden info at the bottom is interesting (and useful for the admin/coder). Tue, 05 Dec 2006 12:33:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (frik85) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?188253 http://osnews.com/thread?188253 Goddamn smart quotes.

Fixed.

I don't have access to IE6 right this minute, but it should work just fine, since it's all server side.

Integration with the main site is not planned right now, because there's *no registration* for users, and therefore nothing to integrate. I'd rather not have anyone with an OSNews account immediately become an employer, so I'm not sure where to go with that.

Careerbuilder site definitely needs some touch up, and I'll take care of that today.

Thanks. Tue, 05 Dec 2006 14:25:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Adam S) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?188261 http://osnews.com/thread?188261 I find this idea beautiful, especially for OS development projects, where finding necessary skiled person may be a challenge even for paid work!

Thanks for introducing the service, I hope it's going to work for the good of FOSS world.

I have tried it now again and it looks it's a bug.
If a new user don't has "pinned" any job but try to "backup" for some kind of reasons (maybe he just is trying out the feature the first time), the mentioned error got displayed.
If the user has already pinned one job and then un-pin it again and then "backup" to server, there is no error shown. Tested with three computers (Win32) and six different browsers (IE 6, FF 1.5, FF 2).

Thanks Adam Tue, 05 Dec 2006 16:50:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (aesiamun) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?188375 http://osnews.com/thread?188375 Ah, ok. I see the problem. Yes, if there's nothing to backup, it won't back up.

I have made it clearer by removing the button altogether if you have nothing to backup. Tue, 05 Dec 2006 19:53:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Adam S) Comments
