Founder feedback -- Recent Reviews tab changes

I encourage the group to provide feedback to @Founder for a recent change to our beloved TUSCL.

I regularly read the reviews across the country each day as a source of information and entertainment. If I happen to have business travel, I will often go back and get caught up on two or three days of reviews at once. Through this daily reading, I have a greater sense of places I would like to visit soon (TJ, So Cal, Atlanta, NJ, TX, Detroit, FL) and places I will avoid (TN, UT, NYC, Chicago, etc.).

Now, with the change to the Recent Reviews tab. I am forced to click review by review if I wish to read every review posted today. I fear this is going to act as an unintended deterrent to my daily perusing of other's reviews. I much prefer the previous format. While I can see more club names at a glance, for me, the cons outweigh the pros for this change.

Am I alone in my views??

Otherwise, congrats @Founder for your other website upgrades and for making the Discussions easier to read by discouraging the thread hijacking that has been proliferating recently.

Why not allow both? Put a toggle button on the page for condensed view or display-all

I agree with you 100% and I saw that other members mentioned the same thing. I'm thinking the change makes it easier for Founder in some way. Maybe it saves bandwidth? I don't know anything about running websites, so I'm not sure.

All I know is, the recent reviews was infinitely better the way it was. I used to be able to go on a flight where I had no access to WiFi and just load up a long page of reviews and read them all. Also like the OP, this is how I plan trips to the good areas/clubs. With this new method, I can only have one review loaded up and that's it.

Some of the changes are ok, but the recent reviews tab was perfect the way it was before. I also vote to revert this section back to the old way.

That's funny, OP. I have the EXACT same list of places I want to visit AND avoid. I mean exactly the same! Lol!

I like the short reviews summary only option, but don't like the switching days at the bottom on desktop.

I never like the changes though, so who knows...

Agree that having the toggle option is preferable to only the "short list" and having to load each individual review.

On a related note, I personally prefer the pull-down version of the base navigation menu, which seems to be missing on the pages with the updated format.

@Founder - let me know if you need a screen shot for any of the above. :-)

I actually like the new format better. I can skip around faster.

Another vote for OP's plea. Please restore scroll of reviews as an option. Reading of reviews will decrease if ya gotta click on each one.

Check out the verbose listing. Should work much like the old full review.

thanks for the feedback.

I prefer the old setup with just a simple toggle switch b/w the 2 views rather than having to load separate pages, but this is good enough

How do you bring up the verbose listing?

I consolidated it to one page. Just click on full view.

Founder do you plan to bring back full view to the club reviews?
founder

yes... that and user reviews will all work like daily reviews (2 options)

Having the hidden drop-down menu in *every* view is more efficient - e.g. currently if one is reading the daily reviews one can't jump straight to the discussions page - one has to lick the "menu" page to *load* a menu page then select discussions - more efficient to have a drop-down menu rather than loading a whole new page to get the menu then load another page to get to the page you wanna go.

I just licked the "menu" page to *load* a menu page, but nothing happened other than my screen getting all wet.

^ you must not know how to lick it right to get the proper response

The discussion board is most useful when sorted by "Last Comment" - but seems it takes many newbs a while to figure out one can sort the discussion board - thus I think "Last Comment" should be the default option so newbs don't struggle keeping up w/ the threads
