I hate the new "applications" section!! Here's why....

As if the boards were confusing enough, I think the admins needed to leave the "approvals" section alone to strictly approvals, and make a whole new section for "applications". This is a cluster **ck!! Seriously.... I see more apps crap in here than approvals, and they need to be separated!! It's confusing as hell! I'm seriously frustrated and not a good move... But just my little ole opinion...I'm sure this post will get moved to Smorgs, (the place where post go to DIE!!!)

Honestly I'm not loving it much either. I wont rant and curse about it but it is confusing and I dont see the main goal of this change at the moment. Everything seems to be mishmashed together and its not very appealing

Out of every forum I regularly visit, this one has THE most extreme sorting rules I've ever seen.  There is often really good info that gets sent away to die that would benefit people to see. 

 

Not a big fan of the Lithium software either as long as we're whining and crying about stuff.  Smiley Happy

Your post will not be moved to Smorgasboard.  The Application Board is a work in progress and give usa little time to get the kinks out.  

We took some of the suggesstions from you all and like everything else - we are always open for suggestions.

 

The more feedback we get with constructive criticism, the better it is for all of us.

Kind of on the same boat, I was under the impression that the "Credit Card" section was supposed to be everything other than approvals that was credit card related. Ohh well, things change just takes time to get used to.

Re: I hate the new "applications" section!! Here's why....

It is just the first day. There will be a lot of older threads that will overtake the approvals initially. I think 24-48 hours is needed before we fully have a strong opinion regarding the efficacy of the change. I can understand the strong reaction since it's just changed today, but hold off and see how it works tomorrow and the next day.

As Lexie stated.. any constructive criticisms are welcomed.

Re: I hate the new "applications" section!! Here's why....

The one thing that I don't like about it is that its more time consuming in this section now. Before when it was strictly approvals, I could zip down and read the ones that benefited me, that I was interested in overall. Now... There's SO much I'm spending twice to 3x as long to decipher thru it all to find approvals. It's just frustrating to me, but ill live, lol.
