Something big happened. - The official updates thread.

Can anyone think of anymore ways the devteam can fuck up their own site?

Maybe a map of the punters home location?

Come on peeps, the devteam have been relying too heavily on the consultation of funlover12 so far.

Here's an idea : All punters have to have a verified photo of themselves in their profile holding the day's newspaper when they register with EI.

It's not bad, definitely not as easy to navigate as before though. I think the development team didn't want to leave a blank space anywhere, but imho it makes the pages look to busy and hard see where to go. Blank space on a page isn't a bad thing.
I prefer the one page profile, the pics scrolling at the top is completely pointless if you're going to have to go to gallery. Look at wikipedia, every article is on one page, one of the reasons it's so successful.

I'm not afraid of change as long as it is not change for changes sake. The new layout is pure muck and looks like a web design graduate designed it. Minimalist designs work well on travel websites or public service information sites. They don't work well on an escort browsing site. You have reduced/removed the ability to search more specifically for escort favourites which I have always enjoyed. The whole experience is now more of an effort to be even bothered to find what you want and will definitely reduce my time spent on this site. I will use vivastreet or backpage more frequently now since you no longer offer an improved site for browsing. Escort-ireland no longer stands out from these sites so there is now no real incentive to choose this site over those mentioned. Did a copper help with the layout to deter punters due to the new anti prostitution laws been enacted? Certainly seems so. Did the bosses wife/son/daughter study web design & need employment to give him/her something to do? The new layout & search functionality are extremely poor which is why I ask. Ever heard of market research prior to implementing wholesale design changes? At the end of the day though it all comes down to cold hard cash so we'll see if your traffic remains constant or improves, although I very much doubt the latter.

I would like to see the advanced search option available as it was.

The new tab for almost everything you click is really annoying.

I don't understand what the point of having to click to see an escorts phone number is when the number just appears on the same page exactly where you were told to click why not just show the number and be done with it.

Harder to find negative reviews too.

Apart from those things (particularly advanced search) I'm ok with the new site, haven't tried it on a phone yet though.

This may have been said before.

But I don't see a link between an escorts advert and their profile. I check a few that I know did have it. ( if it is there, it is not obvious)

Hence making it difficult for PM's etc

The phone number click is to prevent the numbers being scrapped and used for spam. This is a common feature on websites that list contact information.

i do not be on here much except to look and get escorts number but have to say i will be on a lot less now, its horrendous to use

If a complete newbie to punting visited this website they'd very likely end up booking a girl purely on the basis of her photo's rather than her reviews because the review section is firstly difficult to notice for a newbie and even if you click on it it isn't as clear to understand as the old one.

[Zealot7]

The review list is the main issue I can find. The old review list was a lot easier to follow, it was instantly easy to see the positive, negative and N/A reviews in a concise list. The new one is far more convoluted to navigate.

The other thing is the "My Reviews" list, why does it only show 10 and not more (if you have them)?

Also, the map what's the point of it? If the locations are supposed to be approximate.

I dont think site is better after this changes I hope it someone can make it good ideas to fix problems as seem difficult to see info from escort advert and one of my reviews disappear I prefer it old version even if moving pictures on profile looks good
