The Epic "New Web Site" complaint thread

Re: The Epic "New Web Site" complaint thread

I am most confused by the guitar wiring digram option in that there are limited options to choose from. You'd think that you could select more options such as designating how you want your 5-way switch wired and adding extra switches, etc. Maybe they're still writing code for this.

Pah! You wish!



Arrange the following words into a well-known LtKojak quotation.

Hard, Section, Diagrams, Donkey, Support, Sucks, Wiring, Balls, The.

Could somebody do me a favor, please? Condense the CURRENT major points of this thread into a list. I know the OP is a list, but I also know some changes have been made at some point.

I've already brought up the low resolution of the diagrams and the fact that some of them were (are they still?) drawn incorrectly. I just want to make sure we communicate the issues properly in a constructive manner.

Okay but then where's the fun in that?

PDFs or nuffing for diagrams, IMHO. Even if you provide higher resolution pixel graphics you create a printing nightmare.

Well, you guys wanna get stuff done, right?

I agree. PDFs do make for nice and easy printing.

This.

Graphic designers, working on cutting edge technology high resolution monitors, need to make allowances for end users with run-of-the-mill 1200 x 800 PPI gear.

I have the necessary skills and knowledge level to tackle the task of analyzing, trouble-shooting and even edit/create/produce the missing/wrong wiring schemes correctly as I go along.

I just won't do it for free.

Well, of course not.

I just wanna know what we need to tell the people we already paid to make it what they need to fix.

I have a bunch of issues that I have noticed to bring up with those in charge. I also recommend that you submit good website ideas for the Seymour Duncan Research Lab, as those are emailed to management every week, I don't know if they see this thread.

Eureka! Perpetual motion!

To know what to tell those incompetent people that GOT PAID for delivering that useless, misguiding, appalling pile of highly toxic waste is exactly what a knowledgeable, competent person takes money for.

Why is this very simple concept so difficult to understand?

Database, freebase? Easy mistake to make. :fingersx:

Yeah, specially when it can be had for the "right price", isn't?

Or, you know, just give us the ICBM coordinates of the web contractor

Too easy. I'm Italian and old school.

Just give me an address and I'll just show up with some also old school boys from Jersey, whom incidentally are NOT members of a barbershop choir.

However, the just thing to do is to address the person responsible of the (under)development of the new site.

I'd LOVE to see his face's expression when asked about things...

When you have a gun you can't just pull the trigger without first loading it with ammunition.

Right now all the powers that be hear is, "*click* *click* *click* Darn, I forgot the bullets..."

Re: The Epic "New Web Site" complaint thread

The problem issues have been getting discussed for quite some time now. If you haven't recognized these by now, what are you paying attention to ?

Yes, but there's a low signal to noise ratio in a lot of these threads. Can we raise the signal?

Sorry man, but this analogy just *not* apply here. It'll be more like the following:

"We hired the best possible classical-trained player. He can sight-read anything. But he completely messed up playing blues.

Can somebody write me an amazing blues solo FOR FREE, so he can play it, and get paid for it?"

That's more like it, I'd say...

Well... Just from a brief survey, I can give you this much for free:

Wiring Diagrams page: to be re-designed from the ground up.
Wrong Concept. Wrong Paradigma.

Humbuckers: 122 diagrams to be remade in hi-res, pdf format
12 diagrams are wrong
12 new diagrams to be created

Strats: 76 diagrams to be remade in hi-res, pdf format
8 diagrams are wrong
6 new diagrams to be created

Teles: 41 diagrams to be remade in hi-res, pdf format
6 diagrams are wrong
9 new diagrams to be created

Liberator: 11 diagrams to be remade in hi-res, pdf format
0 diagrams are wrong
0 new diagrams to be created

Triple Shots: 18 diagrams to be remade in hi-res, pdf format
18 diagrams are misleading
0 new diagrams to be created

Bass: 18 diagrams to be remade in hi-res, pdf format
0 diagrams are misleading
0 new diagrams to be created

Misc: 35 diagrams to be remade in hi-res, pdf format
0 diagrams are wrong or misleading
6 new diagrams to be created

Just the tip of the iceberg.

Anyway, I was shocked to see wrong diagrams but so few complaints about'em. That's a strong signal that actually very few people use'em, when in the past everybody and their dog used'em and ravish 'bout'em!

Wanna know more, you know how to find me.
