Things that Aggrevate you about FCB's software.

[cgilmo]

Hi Guys


I am hiring some staff to fix some of the on going annoyances and little bugs we have with this software. Part of this process is finding out what exactly is troubling you guys.

We want to remove as much annoyance from the software as possible.

In this thread, list every single software annoyance you can think of.

Annoys me that about a month ago, the site apparently joined my jobs firewall list of blocked sites. Probably not much you can do about that, but I just miss you guys!!!

I hated how every time I clicked on the baseball forum, I saw the "Leaf" thread and the "Manufacturers" thread first... Seems like a couple mouse clicks and a spacebar should've fixed that!

One thing that "bugs" me now is the search, and when I type in "Gwynn" it takes a real long time to bring up results, 20 seconds compared to instantly on other forums. It is not a big thing, but since you asked. I would have never brought it up otherwise.

- The main thing is that ever since the “software change” a few years ago, almost every time I try to log on to this site or submit a response, the website just times out. I normally have to do it 2 or 3 times before it logs me in or actually posts my response. It’s frustrating to type out a response to a topic only to lose it all when I hit “submit”. It’s the main reason I rarely post. When I do (like right here), I will type it out in MSWord first, then copy/paste. That way, when/if it locks up I don’t have to re-type everything. I doubt I’m the only one to experience this, and it may explain why traffic isn’t what it once was before the change. Trying to post is usually a P.I.T.A. (laptop is currently running IE11).

In fact it happened just now…here’s the screenshot:

- Also, if you could tell me how to post a “thanks” I’d appreciate it. I’m not talking about a “like”; I’m talking about a “thanks” (since the two are listed under our profiles separately).

Sometimes the app is extremely slow, and other times threads won't load on it at all.

I was about to type the same thing.
It often takes awhile to open threads and sometimes I have to click on the thread link two or three times before it opens.
It's that way on my iPhone's mobile app, through wifi on my iPad (app or no app) and on my home PC.
And I have a super fast internet connection. It's only the FCB site that's slow.

Thanks Chris for asking us and for hiring some experts to look into some of the site's problems.

I was about to type the same thing.
Sometimes it takes awhile to open threads and sometimes I have to click on them two or three times to open. It's that way on both my iPhone's mobile app and the regular site on my home PC.
And I have a super fast internet connection. It's only the FCB site that's slow.
Very annoying.

This. It's been better the last couple weeks, but there are still some hiccups.

I can send PM's using my phone, but PM's using my laptop don't make it to who they are intended or show up in my sent file.

It simply blows my mind that people still use that piece of garbage browser Internet Explorer and then wonder why simple things, like using a website, don't work properly for them.

I use the mobile app, and when I am at home I use chrome. And yet I frequently have the same slow losing issues that many others do.

You must be special.

In fact this post from the mobile app just timed out the first time I hit submit.

And the second time...

Do me a favor please Charlie. Try using the mobile browser for a while and see how you like it.


Just test it out.

The add signature box not being automatically checked when using the mobile web on my iPhone. Also when I edit my post on there, the signature disappears and there is no way to add it back. And don't say use taptalk or whatever. Hated it.


And using the mobile web, you cannot view your mentions.


I will think of others.

Also when I log in using Chrome on a computer, it always shows that I am not logged in. I AM logged in, I just have to click on the FCB logo and reload the page, and it works just fine. Just annoying.

You mean just going to the site through my mobile web browser?

That's always been terrible.

Looks a little different, but still yuck.

The mobile browser actually gets good reviews.

My post was about IE. I didn't say anything about Google Chrome or mobile browsers.

Annoying when the Who's Online list pops up randomly and blocks whatever I'm trying to look at or click at the time.
