Terb Feedback

Do the new Terb categories cause confusion amongst members? If so, I include myself.
I'm not a website expert by any means, so forgive my lack of informed knowledge.

From an organizational POV, I think the developer tried to break-out the subject categories logically. I think there is still room to refine.

General
GTA Adverts
GTA Massage Reviews
Ottawa Kingston Escorts/Massage/Body Rub Ads Reviews & 411
Durham Peterborough Escorts/Massage/Body Rub Ads Reviews & 411
Hamilton Burlington Escorts/Massage/Body Rub Ads Reviews & 411
Ontario North Escorts/Massage Reviews Ads 411
Ontario South Escorts/Massage Reviews Ads 411
Other - International
Other - General Reviews
-------------------------------------
My thoughts:
- The GTA Massage Reviews category should be renamed "Escorts/Massage/Body Rub Ads Reviews & 411"
- I don't understand the "411" sub-category. If someone is asking about a specific provider & gets an informed response, doesn't that mean the response turns into a review? Once it turns into a review, then the post for the 411 category is outdated and needs to be moved into the "Review" category. In other words, the "411" category is unnecessary. Just have a "Review" category and be done with it. Too much overhead IMO to maintain the categories.
- I think "Other-International" and "Other-General Reviews" can be combined with the "General" category.

My $0.05 worth.
Anyone else have any thoughts?

Not sure if there is a setting that I need to change or not. When I log in I always get the incorrect redirect box. I have to click on the forums tab to finish the redirect. Is there a setting that I need to change? Is anyone else having this issue?
I think you are following a Bookmark to this site and the link you are using is no longer there. You need to create a new link, to a current Forum.

At the risk of sounding stubborn and obtuse...JUST PUT IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS!
Per post-change feedback from Terbites, there was no need to change it in the first place.
As I've already stated in another thread: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!".

This new breakout is horrible and doesn't serve a good purpose. Other than force mods to move threads when 411 becomes a review. Lol and make us look two places.

Not helpful.

I agree.., it is very confusing at times... I liked it teh way it was before better..
I guess we were all so used to the other format...

Agreed. Either link the ads to the top of the two useless subforums or expect a loss in advertising income. As sps won't get as many eyeballs on their ads.

I hesitate to chime in, but I have to agree that I preferred the way it was before. The new layout requires more button clicks. Given that the Ottawa/Kingston section does not have anywhere near as many posts as say, Toronto, the breaking out into multiple sub-sections provides no value to the reader.

Maybe i'm too bold

Everything on TERB is now in pastel (little contrast). Also, I lost my bold.:mad:
YEP,...BOLD doesn't work for me either,...strange that italics and underline works though.

I agree this structure is horrible. They know nothing about marketing and advertising

Have seen this new format before on 2 other boards and within months both returned to their former format. Why? Because the older format was more user friendly!
Ever since the change the Niagara section has been REAL quiet. It wasn't super busy before but now it's "dead". Nothing posted in 2+ weeks. :(

Please return to the previous format.

Try using Firefox or Chrome. That will resolve the issue.
I am using Internet Explorer 10 and can advance OK in the lounge section but for some reason cannot advance in the Review Section. Can you explain why this is the case and why you can't adjust the website for Review section to be compatible Internet Explorer 10 so people can advance past the first page. Thank you.

I tried to bold a line in the lounge but to no avail.

Logging in gets me an error page (like an earlier problem we had before). However, you ignore that error and just proceed to another section, however, What's New doesn't mean New Posts so now it takes an extra step to get their dagnammit!

But no expert here

From the comments here,...it sounds like programming issues, NOT Explorer issues, too random.
