Something big happened. - The official updates thread.

Ok it's fairly radical in terms of change but I like it - if some bits don't work out that well they can always be changed or modified - lets give it a chance.

Thomasj I wonder if you would be so compliant if your main revenue source was disruoted ? At the end of the day it does not matter what us clients think nor EI , as always it is about the girls because without them there is no EI !!

The changes that were made to the site early this year were good hence the positive feedback !!! The only other changes that we escorts were waiting for was the ability to manage our own tours not a complete and utter mess to made of the site. There was NO warning and NO previews of these huge and messy changes.

Surly our introduction should appear after our pictures...its a maze of a website..
Hard for many to find their way around

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.

Of course you can ask.

The answer is We have been releasing previews, talking to advertisers, BETA testing and generally working up to yesterday since December, and we placed escort-wales live months ago and asked people to browse it.

https://www.escort-ireland.com/board...93#post1483893 (Sorry the "tester" link wont work).

Look, to be open there are things that "test" groups like and sign off that when they go to 50,000 users won't work or be applauded. Also, we can't get 1000 advertisers involved in the process.

What we can do is listen to the boards after and then resolve any issues, that's it.

Thanks for the detailed reply, but I have a couple more questions.
How many advertisers did you get involved in the process, and how many of those are regular contributors to the forum?
About 36 escorts voted on the poll, and only 3 voted that they liked the changes. That tells it's own story.

The escort profile page looks lovely with the larger pictures, but in my opinion it's just smoke and mirrors.
The rest of the profile page is just clutter, and very badly laid out.
I think it is now harder to determine the fake profiles from the genuine ones, and I can't see a fake photo report button anymore.
Do you think it's fair that escorts that put up genuine photos, and are who they say they are, can no longer be more easily distinguished from the fakes.

Its a million clicks to find anything or anyone.
If you are focussed and looking for one person you will find them,but if you want to "browse" around like most do its an absolute nightmare.
There are things like the "old way" settings/searches that people fought hard to keep last December that are now gone again (Theres a pathetic watered down version here admittedly)

Obviously not listening hard enough. Majority of escorts do not want these changes and want the old layout back. That of course is not gonna happen because we escorts have no voice. This site has had monopoly in Ireland for a reason. Ease of use. I have tried other advertising sites but always came back here because it was so user friendly . That is now destroyed. I wonder if you will listen when your bank balance hits zero because we have taken our advertising elsewhere and clients have followed us advertisers . Will EI be as patronising then I wonder

The fake photo report button is accessible if you login, only logged in users can submit a report.

The first badge on the profile gives the photo verification status.

We have made multiple changes already and are continuing to work through the feedback. The main concern at the moment is around reviews and that is where we are currently working.

Please let me know what other areas you would like us to look at.

Sorry, just picking a few bits out.... not being difficult, i'm just keen to know.

No, it isn't - Can you tell me what would help?

Can I ask how, is it the wrong way around? (things in wrong places etc) - We had some feedback that the Intro should be 1st, thoughts?
