In an effort to offer the latest news, to offer communities with participation, rankings, filtering, searching, indexing, posting, tracking etc. I find that SO MANY websites these days are just up and down like a roller coaster, not just TR, TR is just one example of many, but I see it all day every day. If it’s not here, it’s somewhere else, you try to read a series of posts and halfway through it starts timing out, can’t post due to technical errors etc. You try to post and after a few posts it starts again with the BS. You start flipping through pages and after a couple it starts again until you try again later starting at the first page again.
Seriously, it’s getting prettty bloody tiring.
By the end of the day the frustration builds, from all the time outs, site maintenance and technical issues behind websites make me think back to my early days of site building. Why MUST technical people always try to play with what already works well. Improvment and progression is one thing, but do that in your basements labs instead.
The number ONE, most important feature of ANY website is that it is SIMPLE and that it works.
Sure, heavy scripts are nice…when they actually work, but when so much maintenance and downtime is needed, there’s no point. We hang around here because we’ve become used ot tR’s outages and little hiccups, ut ne wusers or vistors won’t.
Why can’t people just create simple sites with simple scripts that actually work?
