Time to roll back to previous forum?

Having decided to comment on this thread, I noted that there is no selector for 'reply' just 'quote', 'report', and 'like'. I logged in and lo and behold found myself on our 'profile' page. So, started again and eventually got back to here!

The point I was going to make about the new site was the anger I've felt at the contemptuous manner in which previous stories and discussions have been treated - not to mention profile photos and preferences. It's as if the whole disciplined process of software change management was abandoned or ignored, not to mention Customers' wishes.

'straight from the ark'.'straight from the ark'.

At least the Ark floated, was fit for purpose and did what it was supposed to do.

I've been away for a couple of weeks, hoping that on my return these glitches and design faults would have been addressed. The site is now almost a month old and I see little, if any improvement on the original launch format.

IT IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER SHAMBLES.

CY, i agree Im afraid....

there are a number of 'navigation' problems (like where the system takes you after logging in) that could have been bundled up in a quick fix release, eradication much of the frustration for little effort....a few quick wins to salve the wounds...

unfortunately, CC has decided on its own list of issues to resolve (and the priority within that list......which we havent seen....) and its timetable of commitment is yet another unknown....

getting the whole forum is one thing but, as chas states upthread, there see,s to be little idea on how to manage change to a disciplined process..

doesnt bode well for the future....

of course, the simple answer might be that all the IT staff have been on their Christmas and New Year break, so nothing has changed since you decided to rest from the forum.....

I haven't been on here since the 16th so they had time to address a couple of the most pressing issues before trundling off to stuff themselves with turkey and mince pies.

The most basic and, I would imagine, simple to correct is the appalling colour scheme. At least then we might have a fighting change of being able to read pages. I think I may email direct to Grinstead Towers and, in the absence of a sensible response, I shall be jumping ship. Life is too short to waste trying to negotiate this dysfunctional piece of Cr*p.

The anodyne response that closed the main "grumbles" thread while I was away gives no indication of when we might expect progress. Given that the site was nine months late anyway, I'll probably be dead before they get this shambles sorted.

I can read all sorts of information on the website, I can read other people's questions and complaints on the forum,  I can reply.. and I can even post a picture of where I have been. That's enough for me. 

9 months late, CY?

And the rest.......

But you could do all that before.....but easier.

Where is the much promised improvement?

I thought we were striving for a much better web site, not just a different colour scheme and a requirement for multiple button presses that once took just one.

Welcome back CY you considering going again?, relax moaning won't get you anywhere it's been tried for weeks. Just relax, it'll all come good in the end.

cyberyacht -Whatever your opinion may be CT guidelines say quote “don’t shout by posting in capital letters”.

IMHO this site will evolve so there is little to be gained by negative criticism of something which is not within one’s control.
