I repeat my "that's just embarrassing" comment

I design major software systems for a living, the fact they would launch something without major testing and smoke tests (no pun intended ... ok a little one) just shows you how hack it is.

Its embarrassing rolling out a site that poorly implemented. How do you not QA basic site basic site function before release.

QA has been non - existent about everywhere for a long time, now.

 

[JJ_JJ_JJ_JJ]

I'm not sure that's the case. If I released something like this to the public, I'm pretty sure that would be the last thing I ever released for that company.

I tried in the end gave up.

It must be due to an unidentified object, which must have collided with a telephone pole.

There are probably other methods but I think the most common way is to select a poor third party vendor.

And yes, it’s embarrassing but I’m sure it’ll get sorted out. There’s no mystery about how these things work.

another is to have the website be a tertiary part of your business model.

Got in and registered, the Forum didn't like my Reviews login, but i was able to use the same user name LOL, when you sign up you get a link (actually 2 but i only used one of the two) signed up, you can have polls, but it seems you can't embed images in posts, they show up as a link, i looked and didn't see anything to insert images or attach, which is really odd because there is every other damn option in the world for thread posts.

The review portion is down for maintenance right now but the rest is seamless again. I feel like they are responding awfully quickly.

 

[OverMountain]

It’s working now for me. Is this forum ownership associated with what’s going on at tobaccoreviews? There is a nascent forum over there now.

 

[MattRVA]

I’m glad there’s another forum and as long as a google search takes me to tobacco reviews I’m good.

It was quite the surprise when trying to access the site this afternoon. I guess this was inevitable.

 

[Swiss Army Knife]

Seems like some pages load and others won't. The page for Sun Bear Tupelo works if anyone wants an example of the site.

Frankly I kind of hate it. Like a lot of bad redesigns there's just way too much padding on everything and it looks like a mobile site despite being on desktop. The actual mobile version is marginally better but still, too much padding.

I shouldn't need to scroll to view the Details section that's barely 10 entries long.

What should be embarrassing is worrying about whether or not you can access a site to read about what other people think about a particular blend.

TobaccoReviews lost all relevance when they started that “Emeritus Account” BS. No way to know who reviewed half of what’s on there, so zero context.

Now that a tobacco manufacturer controls the content, the site is completely untrustworthy.

You are such a cynic.

The only reviews I ever read are from @JimInks and @pipestud!

A mean rivalry there!

Steve hasn’t put any up for a long time but his are fun to read and sometimes I like to see his thoughts on tobacco he has for sale! If he says a blend will knock you back, believe him!

Is Steve from the great Wilkes Tobacconist?
