Thread: Need Opinions - Re: Swap Board

  1. Need Opinions - Re: Swap Board

    Hi everyone,

    I am in need of your opinions, yet again

    As you know, we are experiencing issues with the feedback portion of our swap board. To put it bluntly - it ain't workin'! I have tried countless times to get Mark to address this issue but apparently he is too busy and I am getting the usual empty promises "I will get to it later this week - I promise". Well, "later this week" has evolved into two months so I think it is safe to say that Mark has left us high and dry. I made a decision two days ago to notify Mark that we would be seeking out another programmer to fix the code he promised me he would take care of.

    So, for the past two days, I have been doing just that. I have been posting want ads on various programming websites, contacting all of the programmers I know, and scouring the internet for freelance php writers. What have I found? Absolutely nothing! Well, not absolutely nothing. I had one guy from India interested but he wanted $3500 to do it! Yikes!! I think the problem lies in the fact that our script is integrated with vbulletin - a program which a lot of coders are unfamiliar with and a project that nobody wants to touch. This, of course, leaves me in a pickle. I have a swap board that is not functioning properly and nobody to fix it!

    Here is where you come in. I have been trying to decide if we *really* need the feedback portion of the swap board? After all, this is a flaker free website and if you flake two times, you are automatically banned from the website. So do we really need the ability to leave a positive or a negative comment? The reason I ask is because I am almost certain that we could find someone to "uninstall" the feedback portion of the script if we decide to go that route.

    Let me know your thoughts!

    I don't see the need to have a feedback portion.

    Sherry,

    Before I became a SAHM. I did the Beloit College- FACS office website which was a php code...I have not done anything with vbulletin....so I at first thought that I could help..but I don't think so now.

    To answer your question...I do not think that we need the feedback section...since it is a flaker free zone!

    Hugs,

    You are special. Never stop believing that.

    Darn, and I thought Mark was such a nice guy! I think the feedback feature was cool, but we don't really need it. And, just like Ebay, I would be very reluctant to leave a negative for anyone anyway because people can get really nasty when you do.

    Yea, I thought it was cute, but we don't really need it. I mean if there is a real issue they get reported and it's taken care of by determining they flake... If not then we don't need to say anything at all. So I think we don't need it. Off with it's head!

    Too bad about Cowboy Mark.

    I don't see that we need it. I mean if this is a flaker free zone so even if someone does badly they won't be able to participate again anyway. I think you should just find someone to uninstall it!

  7. The feedback portion of the swap board was not what made me join this website, so let it go.

    Off with its head, as Erin puts it. It's a flaker free zone and we will know about them flakers. Do away with it. (I'm no pirate or anything) Kim

  9. Feedback, schmeedback, who needs it! Sherry, if it causes that big of a headache, get rid of it. You have done everything possible to try to fix it, and no one could do more. I say, off with its head, too! Lovely turn of phrase, that!

    Sherry...I agree, I don't think that we need the Feedback area. If we have an issue I am sure that somebody can post to the Forum or contact the Person by PM....

    Thanks for asking us all!
