There should be a one-time popup (similar to what's shown in the screencap below) that appears announcing or linking to related topics everytime maintenance is planned and/or significant changes to how the site works.

Do you mean that it would be a good feature to have in the future, or that it has already been created and should be popping up when a user logs in the first time.

I agree that it would be a nice to have but not a need to have. If you took a look at how long those windows were open I bet it would be pretty short, after all, we came here to see naked girls, not read useless pop-ups (I'm being sarcastic of course about the "useless popup" phrase).

What I'm trying to say is, don't spend a lot of time on documentation, hit the major changes and move on. The rest will take care of itself through discovery and community support.

The maintenance pop-ups would be a higher priority since they'd announce downtimes, and can be coded once and implemented many times (with appropriate modifications to a resource file).

By the way, previously in this thread I said that I have a number of years in IT. I just want to say that this suggestion is in direct opposition to what my company does. We doc as much as we can, localize the content into many languages, and then maintain it. We take feedback from customers to improve the docs, and welcome when errors are pointed out. My suggestion of "hit the highlights and move on" is more a result of knowing that users don't read docs. For people who are not being paid to do something you should not feel compelled to go into a lot of detail.

@ Dave, what I meant to say it that WBW should have a better notification system, sorry for the confusion.

Thanks, I was wondering mostly because if it already had it then I closed that box before i even noticed it

Yeah, they should have made a thread a couple months ago, asking for "testers" to try it out and give your opinion.


Oh wait, they did.

I did use the beta test site and I had no problems 'till tonight when I logged on,it then took me about 40 minutes to find "on my own" that my old link to the site gives a very distorted page that was almost impossible for a computer no0b like me to decipher !
I think that there could be alot of folks like me here that could use some help!

And, I still can't save the new site to my favs

Edit:@ 10:47 pm....I now have the site bookmarked in FF, that seems to have been my problem because IE still links from my saved sites to the new version. Not the same with FF tho' !!!!

It took me a while but I figured it out.

If you read this thread because you've just decided that the new site sux, read my last two posts here:

It's been moved, just click "edit settings" at the top of the page, once there click the "view settings" tab and then change it to whatever you'd like.

thanks dude

Beta testing is B.S. If you need input from a moron like me on how to build a porn website you shouldn't be in the business.

Notech - if you're using Vista you can get a screen shot and either upload it or post it somewhere and link to it.

Use the Snipping Tool.
1. Open up what you want to show.

2. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Snipping Tool, your screen will get a white mask over it and you'll have a cross hairs on your screen.

3. Use the cross hairs to select the area of your screen that you want to show by placing them on one corner of what you want to select, hold down the left mouse button and drag the cross hairs to the other corner.

4. Depending on your machine speed and how much you want to select it may take a few seconds, but soon you'll have the image in the Snipping Tool's window.

5. Save the file somewhere as a JPG.

6. Upload it however you normally upload.

Beta testing is not BS. The fact is that Diz and the Crew can not think of every possible scenario. What is blatantly obvious to one person is obscure to another. And I bet that there were more than a few times when Diz received a bug report and thought "why the fuck is he trying to do that?"

And while I would probably disagree with your characterization of yourself, feedback from less computer savvy users is very valuable.

The new version is great, thanks Diz.
