If It Is Not Broke

Stage coaches weren't broken and ran pretty well - but railways were invented. Change happens. 

Ideal for - "staying in a caravan" I suppose.

We are now in the age of people saying "Let's go caravaning" without a clue as to what is involved and needing instructions in what to do once they have arrived somewhere.

Yes, but there were advantages from railways. 

I notice the useful item "size of CL" is no longer shown. I like to know if the site might have 5 'vans on 1/4 acre or spread out over an acre or more.

And in order to get to the "search by map" for CL's why on earth do you have to pretend you want to book a Club site, select "search by map", then tick "show CL's" and untick "Club sites". 

Why can't we go straight to "search by map" from "UK holidays?

As a CL owner I think the introduction of the new website has been a disaster with the complete mess that has been made with the CL search facility being the biggest error. I have been told that this will be fixed 'early January'

On the plus side the size of CL is still shown but perhaps not as prominently. It's on the 'Useful Info' tab.

Quite agree about the search by map. It should be on the CL search tab in the same way its on the CC sites tab.

For my Greenacres Farm CL the move lost all my photographs (1 has now been restored so at least it no longer says waiting for image from CL) but worse than that all my reviews have been lost and I'm not hopeful that they will ever be restored.

I think the time taken to display the CL search page is a bit slow and would be interested to know what others think.

I've just discovered that it is not possible to add a review to a CL that doesn't already have at least 1 review!

Well said AlanGL7 it is good to see that CL owners are taking part in the thread, I would have thought that CL owners would have been part of the initial design before releasing a load of rubbish.

'apparently' the new system was subject to 'extensive user testing' prior to release.......any CL owners on that test team?

it seems that many of the major functions dont work to 'real users' satisfaction, especially searches.

also, the migration process could not have been tested properly as many stickies and reviews/stories  (some were really useful sources of information) seem to have got lost in the migration, with the prospect of manual transfer being the best offer so far.....obviously not going to happen while the current list (now, where is that list....) of bugs is being addressed...

I think I may have been asked to provide a wish list....it was a long time ago. Waste of time as nothing on the wish list has been implemented. I was not involved in any of the initial testing and nor am I aware of any CL owner that was. I think its a case of 'lets put something live (as its already months late) and let the users test it'!!!!

Lets face it. Being able to access the marvelous CL network is the  reason why many people pay the CC annual subscription. 

The CC should be bending over backwards to support and promote this network.  At the moment I feel the CC could do much better in this respect.

I've mentioned this in another thread: I did a search for Adults Only CLs in Lancashire, suitable for MHs, showers and WC, when the new website first went live.  It came up with 49!

Obviously nothing has changed because I've just tried it again, same criteria, and again it came up with 49.  There is a mixture of AO and non AO, so that filter doesn't work.
