Dear TK Gods

I know you are trying to make things better with the new format.  But I know I speak for many of us when I say this is anything but user friendly.  All of the posts from all boards are jumbled together and it is very difficult to find a specific board. I feel like many users are going to get frustrated quickly and stop posting.  Also TK is not facebook, 4 square, or other social media. There is no need for badges, comments on profiles, etc. Although there really isn't a need for it I will admit I like the awesome button.  I'm just trying to give you some constructive criticism. I hope this helps.

  • Cosigned!

    I'm fine withe the badges. Some people really like the feeback. I just wish that I didn't have to see other people getting badges.

    The layout is very confusing and makes it hard to even discover different boards. I think it just looks messy with all the jumbled posts.

    The notifications are AWESOME though. Please keep that.

  • Consigned me too.  Very confusing and uber hard to navigate.
  • and now I'm Britni again...I was totally muppet earlier...what the heck.

    There's just too much to this. Simple forum is easy. Don't need the extra "Question" , "was this helpful" (if anyone answers that they are going to get slammed by someone half the time), badges

    I do like the Flag as Awesome
    The PM Feature
    Alerts
    I like seeing the option to see all recent activity on a board

    Oh every time I try to click on a notification, I click the person's name instead and it brings me to their profile.

    This also happens on posts. On the left is where you click on the post. Then it's who started the post in the center and who last responded on the right. I keep wanting to click center and right which also brings me to peoples profile.

    I assume the lack of connectivity is because it's not live?


  • oh wth I'm muppet again?
  • So this is like a big popularity contest apparently. You get points if other people awesome you or reply to you or mention you it appears?

    If you do silly things and get a badge, you get points...

    If someone is reported, they lose a point.


  • Cosigned, me too.  I love that there is an effor there. But, this layout isn't user friendly at all.

  • It does not appear that I can update items after a while. Is it on a timer?
    I like the highlights for new posts

    Ok I've spent a few hours adding content and playing around. My overall assessment is that it is Overall complicated, difficult to navigate and it is not intuitive. Simplification is advised.

    Dislikes:
    • Popularity Contest Point System
    • Distinctions between questions,polls, announcements (unnecessary)
    • Make topic links stand out above usernames
    • OP rating post responses
    • Timer on Edits (we hate DDs but sometimes we want to remove something)
    • Limits on Characters (its taking me forever to compose this bc of them)
    • Long screen names get jumbled into post
    • i type 3 sentences and i get an alert for too many characters
    • Accept/reject popup is annoying

    Likes

    • Saved Messages
    • Awesome Flag
    • Highlight for new posts
    • PM feature
    • Alerts
    • Recent Activity List

    Undecided

    •  Identity for pollers (I just see this as inviting attacks)
    • Profile comments

    Desires

    • To see who is logged in
    • IM type conversations
    • Live open forum/chat room
  • I can see people creating ridiculous posts just to "win" points.

    Hey those would cloud out my ridiculous posts!

    I reported a few posts here to test functionality and then realized it could reduce peoples point values. I reported staar twice (no offense!) to lower her total so mine could look better.

    Just sayin...i did it to be funny and to test it...but I think when implemented in reality, it's going to happen all the time.

    "Hey Hoboken did something people didn't approve of, lets lower her points!!!!"

    I also spent 10 minutes on BritniLeigh "awesoming" my posts to make my count go higher and see what it did.

    There's no limit.
  • I mentioned in another post that they have created new ways of attacking people just as you pointed out.
  • yup. I just commented on that.

    How were we chosen to play test this btw?

    No clue!
  • I'm just dumbfounded because it was my old handle that got chosen. I found a way to log in as Muppet by accident but I'm just surprised that she got chosen. That handle was active very briefly for a couple of days for the first time since like 2007....well I guess I was on the nest for a few years...anyway Oh crap, I speak about myself in the third person now.

    I like that I can see that it was you who flagged me! I wonder if someone gets flagged enough, once it goes live, if they will be sent to the mod or something.

  • HA!  I don't know if I like that. That makes me not want to report people so I don't get called out on it publicly.  But I do like it if someone's just being a jerk with it... we see who that is.
  • Thanks for the feedback everyone! We are taking note of everything you are saying!

    Could you guys do me a favor? We are trying to make it easy for our team to follow feedback -- can you post in the designated "Member Feedback" board?
