Petition Discussion - 700 and counting - admins too ARROGANT to listen to their public

POSTED BY: vibeone 1 year, 11 months ago

Yes there are millions of other threads. Deal with it.

Currently the petition is at 700 and counting - give or take a few due to double posts. However, still the management is too arrogant to even post an update.

Sign here: http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/125162/petition-bring-back-the-old-site-no/all/feedback/discussed/
Only sign your forum name - keep comments in this thread seperate.

I know full well that change happens. I know 'web 2.0' is the in thing. I don't even have a problem with it.

However, to remove functionality (such as the forum behaving like a forum) is beyond belief.

Please:

1) Revert to the old site over christmas and the new year, and bring the new look back WHEN ITS READY.

2) Build the standard vBulletin functionality, navigation and editor into the new site. Make the forum behave like a forum, and maintain the original deals lists and options on the front page.

That is all I request.

(This thread is for discussion on the admins refusal to comment on either the site or the 700 members who want the old site back - so we can keep discussion out of the main petition thread)

JUST MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A FORUM!!!

Its a good update, looks more professional and after a bit of use it is BETTER!!

700 people complain
75,000 members

1% of the total user base, yeah like the mods are going to change a site back for 1%.

As usual it's the minority shouting above the majority to try and force the issue when there is no issue to force!!!

There is the odd bug or room for improvement but the site is free.

Well done mods, great site and now you can see any feedback a seller has in the for sale/wanted section which is a very welcome addition.
reduce that number by the number of regular HDUK forums users then you will have a more realistic percentage, oh dear.

Also how many members signed the 'we like the new design thread'??????

I am all for improvement and inevitable changes with new programming and technology advances. BUT it has to be implemented correctly!
This is a terrible website now, and if the intranet at my workplace had been changed as badly as this, there would be potential industrial action!
Although there are going to be many who find it easy to use. But this will be outweighed by a greater number who feel alienated.
The whole concept of this site was for people from all walks of life to easily post and comment on their deals and findings easily. This made all people of varying computer literacy able to join in and contribute. This site as it is will confuse many, and people will just stop using it! This means that the amount of people finding deals etc will decrease which seems to kill off the whole concept of its existance! The people who easily use this version will skew the deals towards their section of interests (computers and consoles etc) and almost wipe out the more domestic and less technical posts and information.
My advice....Put it back as it was until you get it right!

Perhaps you need to get a clue about how complaints relate to total customer experience - http://www.sitepoint.com/article/han...ent-complaints.

* 4% of dissatisfied clients complain
* 91% of dissatisfied clients won't do business with you again
* 80% of dissatisfied clients tell ten people
* 20% of dissatisfied clients tell 20 people
("Consumer Complaint Handling in America: An Update Study," Technical Assistance Research Program, White House Office of Consumer Affairs (Washington DC, 1986).)

The reality is that this site is a usability disaster. Patronising comments about "get used to change", "learn how to use it", and so on, totally miss the whole point of the internet and user interface interaction. The mods/admin are looking only for "positive feedback" rather than realising that a complaining customer is their best friend. They've buried their head in the sand and are excusing a very poorly designed and executed site. Launching it just before Christmas is a whole other problem.

The original site doesn't need to come back, just fix this damn mess!

- The search is ****, I don't want to see deals posted years ago, and I want to sort by the most recent without going into advanced options!

- I don't want to see the original post at the top of every damn thread.

- Expired threads shouldn't be hidden by default - many threads get labelled as expired and so get missed.

- I want INDIVIDUAL settings for each forum - I want FULL VIEW on the intro screen, and TEXT ONLY on everything else - why can I not do this?

From a web developers point of view, it's a really ****** site. I understand people are getting sick of opinions being posted over and over, but this is a really really bad website now.

And why the hell is it so damn SLOW?! It's taking me ages to do anything!
