Re: [RC] Spiffy new look to the website! - Barbara McCrary
I have satellite internet, a lot faster than my old
dial-up, but I also found the new classified format confusing. I
personally liked the old format where a quick note about something for sale was
on ridecamp; then if I wanted, I could go to classifieds and look at the
ad. As Karen says, it was much easier and faster to scroll through
the ads as they were.
Not meaning to be a bah-humbug person......but
perhaps taken with constructive criticism....
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!
