Although we continue to focus our efforts on several large projects (the MXTabs.net Facebook App, and Tab Editing functionality come to mind), from time to time we also like to revisit existing areas of the site, in the hope of finding ways to improve and enhance our member’s experience. While these changes are not always drastic, we believe that they too are essential in our quest to build the best guitar, bass & drum tab site on the internet. To keep everyone in the loop, here are a few tweaks that we’ve made in the past week or so:

1. On MXTabs.net user profile pages we’ve added a scroll bar to The Stall and Bandmates sections. For many of our users, this area was simply becoming too large and unruly for easy use. Simple fix for a simple problem.
2. MXTabs.net search pages have undergone a minor face lift. We’ve removed the large ad that appeared at the top of the page and moved the Top Available Tabs and Tabs Waiting For Your Vote to the bottom of the page. The goal here was to allow users to more readily view their search results without having to scroll down first. Similarly, we’ve started displaying 40 song titles per page, rather than 20, thus reducing the amount of time needed to find the song you’re looking for.
3. We’ve partnered with thumbplay.com to offer relevant ringtones to our users in the US. You’ll now see a “ringtone button” in the black header directly above any tab with a corresponding ringtone available, as in this Stairway To Heaven Guitar Tab by Led Zeppelin.
4. Finally, on the programming front we’ve optimized and compressed many of the external JavaScript and style sheets on the site. End result: a speedier version of MXTabs.net!

We’ll have more site updates for you soon. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the changes we’ve recently made. Let us know what you think of them, and by all means, feel free to make new suggestions. After all, this is your tab site!
