QOTD: What’s Bugging You?

Posted on March 26, 2009 by Shaun

Is there anything you would change about PDA-247? We asked the question before and fixed a few things, but it would be useful to know if there is anything left that bugs you…

    Not really

    I liked the new layout initially, and nothing’s changed that view. Cleaner and fresher, though I know some people aren’t so keen, but each to their own.
    I mainly use this home “News” page and occasionally the Forums.

    The flashing adverts irritate, but I understand the importance of adverts to a site like this.

    On the previous site you knew who was reponsible for an article, that doesnt exist any longer. I miss that. You lose the flavor of whose site this is and who’s on it. The new format is nice and flashy, but we lost a little bit of home with it.

    There isn’t a a way to login from the mobile site, which is a bit of a pain because there doesn’t seem to be any way to be able to access the full site from your mobile. (I’ve had to save the login link in a note.)

    There’s also no way to access the forums when you’re mobile, unless I’ve missed something.

    The main site is certainly cleaner and less busy than the old one, and that is good thing.

    Like lazyboy I can’t figure out how I’m supposed to get back to the main site after logging in either and that’s on my PC on the standard site. I’m not really interested in the WordPress dashboard thingy.

    “On the previous site you knew who was reponsible for an article, that doesnt exist any longer. I miss that.”

    Fair point- it does show the name of the author if you click the post title. I will try to fix that. I think all of the posts on the new site have been mine apart from 2 or 3 so you can mostly assume at the moment:)

    “There isn’t a a way to login from the mobile site, which is a bit of a pain because there doesn’t seem to be any way to be able to access the full site from your mobile. (I’ve had to save the login link in a note.)”

    I will look at this. The site is designed to spot an iPhone and so the interface is slightly different for it.

    “Like lazyboy I can’t figure out how I’m supposed to get back to the main site after logging in either and that’s on my PC on the standard site. I’m not really interested in the WordPress dashboard thingy.”

    I’m confused- wouldn’t you just click ‘home’ at the top?

    Thanks for coming back on that, Shaun. To be honest, I’d prefer the option of toggling between the main site and mobile site. As I said, it’s impossible to access the forums from the mobile version, too.
