Something big happened. - The official updates thread.

I see my "thumbs down" thread to new site layout was deleted

It was more critical than inflammatory .....

So you, the Dev Team can report me to the mods if it makes you feel better but it doesn't really bother me because I'm off anyway, it's an absolute disaster and pretty soon there will be a mass exodus as a result. The simplicity of the old site was ideal, so quick and easy.

Hi Lucy,

We appreciate all feedback, we have made a number of changes today in response to the feedback we have already received.

With regards to the the average reviews, this is shown on the reviews tab for each advertiser it is applicable to. A summary is given and then in the grey bar "Average rating of 4.5 Based on 29 escort reviews made by XXXs clients".

I fear most won't read that Dev. They will still be wanking to the huge scrolling pictures.

The focus of the whole website is on the escorts who advertise here, the design is aimed exactly at that. Not the wanking we hope.

We shall continue to make small tweaks in the coming days.

positive:
ability to see when upcoming favourites begin their next tour

negative:
reduced search functionality
(tbh that really should be enough, how did anyone think that a directory upgrade with fewer search options would be an improvement?)

restore the ability to search by favourites. I realise that we can work around this by using the definitions of each favourite as a search heading, but I can't find a way to search for more than one favourite at a time.

restore the submission date of a review - a dozen vague reviews magically appearing in a few days from previously unheard of punters now carry the same weight as a seal of approval from top reviewers over a few months

the UI is dominated by photos and location info - can't shake the feeling the Dev team got inspiration from Uber or Trip Advisor. emphasis totally misplaced.
why would anyone care about popular locations? I'm not going to decide to drive to Ardee because it's a popular red-light district.

confessions. somebody requested Fr. Casey? seriously?
Father Ted more like.

That part is a feckin joke except its not funny! Saw it earlier & didnt even comment. A main tab too on an escort website in Ireland, the mind boggles who came up with that!
Fake confessions too as they were nearly all wrote while the site was down. Some staff member had the misfortune to come up with that. Wasted man hours
I'd be laughing if it wasnt so ridiculous in the face of so many other serious issue's.
Its no longer an escort directory & more a stylish viewing gallery with no substance.
In my opinion obviously but then I am only a long standing paying advertiser!

The https://2013.escort-ireland.com/ is available for those who prefer the old look.

No threads have been deleted, all merged into this one.

No wanking allowed then? joke, I promise. We need to lighten the mood, it's feels like a klu klux klan meeting. I think perhaps if you introduced the option to view the site in both formats you would solve most worries, however, if that's impossible perhaps a design of pics on left, text on right and numbers at the top would be slightly more coherent.

How on earth did you find me ??

This morning I put in my own 'info' , criteria as I mentioned above , and the site came back to me saying

"there's no one in Dub meeting your criteria , but hey here's some other profiles that might catch your eye"

I had a couple of my guys get onto me , saying they cannot find me. What gives ? x

I had to go into favorites to find some girls

This is based on calculations of the rates of all advertisers at the time of this option being created.

Why should higher rates providers be 'discriminated' against by not having a higher rate bracket available to click on ??

How about adding higher brackets please ? There are many many girls at 200€ , 220€ per hour.

Why not have brackets to benefit them as well ?!

As it is >> '161€ and up /hr' is hugely disadvantageous to ALL established providers who offer more than a 'run-by' service .
