Something big happened. - The official updates thread.

[Stephanie]

I think the volume of changes we have made since yesterday shows that we are listening to every piece of feedback. We care about all of our site users.

I am still on iPad , I still cannot find my own advert unless I search for 'Stephanie' ,

I still get kicked right off when I click on 'Escorts' , etc.

Bugs , bugs , bugs galore !!

I'm paying you a 100e / week for what ?

Hi Stephanie,

I invited you yesterday to make contact to discuss your issues, they appear to be isolated and we would like your assistance to replicate them. Would you be available tomorrow to take a call from one of our IT team to discuss your issues?

Thanks

DevTeam, I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you go back to the original design, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

I used to have the Hots for him xxx

The site is by far the best designed I've seen but hopefully people buy into the review system more because its so important for verification.

Em, there actual pretty standard practice in modern web development. Good enough for Facebook and Twitter at least

Em, it's actually demonstrably not. Facebook use reactjs, Twitter use flightjs. The point is that DOM manipulation is controlled by services wrapped in a digest cycle so you don't get all the jank and flicker you see here as elements are added and removed.

Code like this is not testable and not maintainable.

Listen - DevTeam - I feel bad for you, I really do. Clearly your heart is in the right place but it's time to admit you're out of your depth and just roll back the changes and let professionals take over.
I've been working in software for 20+ years and you obviously have a Big Ball of Mud on your hands. I've been poking around in your front end source and it's eye-bleedingly bad so I can only imagine what your back end looks like..

        
        var k = $(':input[name="skip_verification"]');        k.parents(".help").toggleClass("hidden", k.is(":checked") || n.val() != "");
        b.find(".choose-between-tour").each(function(x, y) {
            var v = $("#cp-tour")
              , w = v.find(':input[name="tour[id]"]');
            if (w.val() && w.data("value") !== w.val()) {
                $.getJSON("/ajax/modal/getEntity", {
                    entity: "tour",
                    id: w.val()
                }, function(z) {
                    $(y).addClass("chose");
                    w.data("value", w.val());
                    v.find("span").addClass("hidden");
                    v.find(".chosen .stages").html("");
                    $.each(z.entity.strings.stages, function(B, A) {
                        v.find(".chosen .stages").append('<div class="stage">' + A + "</div>")
                    }
                    )
                }
                )
            } else {
                w.data("value", null );
                v.find(".stage").remove();
                v.find("span").removeClass("hidden");
                $(y).removeClass("chose")
            }
        }

Seriously? Direct DOM manipulation, magic strings and ajax calls in 2015? I know you're only a small site but still - you must realise how brittle code like this is, make one tiny change to your DOM and all your selectors above fall apart.......
I know this post will be deleted within minutes to save your blushes but do try to take on board some of what I've said.

Is this meant to be helpful, or to make you look good?

Massive fail on both counts.
