RE: Epinions SOP
Well I had a 99 and now I have a 1! Maybe it changes each day.
Just submitted a new one and didn't see the new editor. In a way I am glad this happened at all....jps told me something I didn't know and it makes everything so much easier! I was putting in html by hand, typing it in. I had no idea I could highlight, hit bold or italics and it puts it in automatically! Wow that is much easier! |

The numbers in the URL have to do with which server you are logged in on, which basically just depends on the luck of the draw when you log in. I believe that the 'www1' server still has the old editor on it.
FWIW I have managed to have less html problems by using the 'Ctrl' button and hitting 'B' for bold or 'I' for italics as I write.

RE: Epinions SOP
I find it interesting that I got so many replies during and after the intial test of the new editor, both from Almar and a few engineers. And yet after they roll it out (in worse shape than it was in the testing rounds), not one of them has come around and said a thing! And it's been pretty much nonstop irritation for 4 days (going on 5).

RE: Epinions SOP
I think Yoel popped in a couple of times. He said they were, indeed, reading every post, and trying to reproduce the errors we're talking about, so they can fix them. He also acknowledged the issues regarding Word 2007. I suspect they are using their time fixing it, rather than responding here too frequently.

With all due respect Nicole, this is not the time for the community/board participants to begin a slide into mass paranoia.
I am sure I have seen a response or two in one of these threads. But no, I did not go look.
I am reminded of the old Twilight Zone episode where the 'alien invaders' simply turn the power off to everyone but one house and wait for the humans to go nutzoid on each other.
What I see is a few users gradually figuring out a trick or two here to use or perhaps a tip for that problem. Many have offered to assist as much as possible.
All this too shall pass.

....Mass paranoia? *lol* Not sure how you derived that. I was just saying it's annoying that when I first fussed about the test version I got all sorts of responses like "Oh tell us the problems so we can fix them." or "Don't worry, it's just a test run, it'll all be fixed when we release it." (not verbatim, of course). In essence, I was told just to relax and it was just a test run and no big deal.
Yet here we are with a worse editor and yes, there have been 3 or 4 responses, all without details or help or information about why it's wonky, if it's going to stay wonky, or if they're even doing the now infamous action of "working on it."
I'm not saying they're sitting back cackling at their dastardly deeds or anything. It's just weird communication and I'm sure everyone would like to know whether or not this this is going to stick around or what.
It all goes back to the whole "Why is this even being implemented when A.) it's broken and B.) there are already a ton of broken things on this site that need fixing (say, the search engine)?" We know the search engine isn't a priority (has it ever been)---
Ok, you know what? I'm ranting. I'll stop now. It's just that non-working technology on a site that already needs help annoys me and frankly, if I were a new writer here, I wouldn't stay. 40 minutes to post a review? I'm outta here.
I do hearby retire until I write my next review.

Yoel made a post yesterday in of these threads. He said they were aware of issues and working on it.

hey there Nicole.
Believe me, I am not trying to single you out or pick on you. I would not do that to my cookie lady...
Believe me, many have expressed dissatisfaction and frustration and every other polysyllabic word I can not think of right now.
I trust they are there. I trust they have other commitments during an extended holiday weekend. I might even believe if they had it all to do over again they might handle the 'conversion' differently.
But who among us does not have an Eps experience they would not handle differently given a new chance, a blank slate..??
Believe me, I have suffered through two separate sessions of battling my single review published using the new editor. I am sure I will experience problems tomorrow with my last/tenth review for August.
I urge you to come slap me down (or talk me down) when I bring my frustrations to the board, OK..?? I would expect no less from you. Not to 'pay me back' for my thoughts earlier here. But because I think you would 'have my back' and be there for me. As I am trying to do for you, even if a bit sloppily and clumsily.
My apologies if I have offended you Nicole. I certainly do not mean to do so.
...tom...
