Re: [RC] Spiffy new look to the website! - Karen Sullivan
Just some thoughts....
Not meaning to be a bah-humbug person......but
perhaps taken with constructive criticism....
Some thoughts from a website addict and
shop-aholic.....
1. I'm still having problems establishing my
account for an ad placed...so I can pay; I am sure this is a glitch that will
get fixed.
2. The new set up of the classifieds will certainly
curtail my daily perusing.....I guess being in the dark ages with plain old dial
up. it's painfully slow to view ads. Before, I could just scroll down and
speed-read and scan ads...reading all the ads probably in less than a few
minutes...and could get all the pertinent information in an
instant.
With the new format...given the titles are
whatever; you can't tell if a a horse is old, young, how tall, etc. All that
shows up on the main menu is price and location...so I would have to click on
each title;and wait for it to load...to even see if it's a horse I want to read
about....then wait to go back to main menu....maybe having a few more categories
would help, just giving age of horse, gender and perhaps height.......? (this
being constructive criticism)
On the tack ads....only one thing may be listed in
the title, while more things might be in the ad....so unless I click on each ad
individually, I can't see everything that is there....again, with dial up,this
could take hours!!!!
Just my opinions....I liked the format of the old
ads with just a link for photos.....so that if the ad was nothing I was
interested in, I could just avoid the photo download time.
Oh well, I don't need to be looking at horses or
tack anyway!
Wow, John and Steph! You go home for a night, come back
the next day, and BAM! Whole new website look!
If you get
ridecamp via email, go to endurance.net
sometime and check out the new look.
The only thing I don't like,
John, since I read the archives, is that the colors of posts "read" and
"unread" are very similar (purple vs. blue) so it's a lot harder to
distinguish what I have already read.
Thanks for all your hard work in
keeping the endurance community
informed!
