Orphalese Tarot Zone Community Forum

I just downloaded the 7.6 version, and I'm really confused by the changes.

Firstly, I have gotten into Tarot Zone via the program itself, but I don't see where I can download spreads. I don't see a download button on the particular spread page anywhere.

Secondly, when I'm on Tarot Zone via Orpahalese, how do I close it down and get back to Orphalese, without having to close and restart the program?

And thirdly, where did all the available decks go (the ones in the deck exchange, aside from what's under Campos and Other Artists)?

Thanks.

Hi Artemis,

I can understand why you are confused about the decks. A few people have asked about this in the forum. The Deck Exchange can now be found on the main menu of the program itself.

With regard to how you leave the Tarot Zone, nothing has really changed, i.e. you can use the Hide button or the F2 key, the same as before. The position of the Hide button has changed now - it is now at the bottom right of the form instead of the bottom left. There is a new way to leave the Tarot Zone too - you can click on the close button at the top right.

I am not sure what has confused you about the spreads though - nothing has really changed there, besides the colour scheme. The name of the spread is a link to the spread, as before. Maybe you are seeing something that I am not though? If you can give any more details I will be glad to help.

Best

..Ah OK, I see what you are getting at with the spreads. Spreads (and card notes) are downloaded via the Download button. Again, this is the same as it was before, but the position of the button has changed. It is now at the bottom right of the screen (next to the Reload and Hide buttons) instead of at the top left.

These changes may seem gratuitous, but I really do try to resist changing anything nowadays unless there is a good reason. In this case it is because the navigation of the site is now accomplished from the page itself, so the navigation tree was redundant. With this gone it made sense to maximize the area available for the browser window itself, which involved relocating some of the buttons.

I hope as people get used to it they will see the advantage, even if it takes a little while to adapt.

Yeah, change is always a time of fun and frustration .-) I love to play with new and sometimes I do indeed feel frustrated when I know something is somewhere an I'm unable to locate it. However, the one thing I know is when I post to the forum I'll learn what it is I couldn't find. That to me is what make this program GREAT. Things do change and keep getting better, and there is this wonderful resource here.
