Quote by TheShyThespianI completely understand & agree with you. Took me ages to venture into the forums. & If it wasn't brought to my attention by a friend then I would not have seen that post before the migration. I would have preferred an email. But as Nicola mentioned somewhere else in the forums, that was not achievable. (she said why, I just can not think what she said & don't want to give false information here.)Quote by AngelWorthyTo be fair, there are many who don't use the Forums at all. I don't spend any time in there (though I knew about the changes coming) - I didn't even know it existed for my first year. It's not the best way to cascade communications.Quote by dlcalguyI know this is not the forum thread to post into. However I am just wanting to respond to your comments here. Nicola did post 3 months ago in the Site Announcement/Feedback section here in the Site Related part of the Forums. A Thread Titled "Upgrades and Changes to Lush". In that thread Nicola made it clear that Lush was going to change. She even listed some of the expected changes.Quote by StarBelliedBoyPrior to yours, I don't remember seeing any single clear explanation about the circumstances of the enforced changes. I never saw three options defined anywhere.Quote by adeleEverything I said was simply a summary of the various site announcements over the past few months and my knowledge that coding is hard. The post at the top of this thread specifies it is only for technical issues, not feature requests and that migration is ongoing. On the first page it was suggested people note the latter down for later.
It seems to me that if that had been explained up front, perhaps there would be far less complaints. one week and already 13 pages of reports, some of which have already been addressed. Perhaps people would have waited a couple of weeks before complaining and just made a list to check after that.
This is a bug report, if a somewhat meta one. Lack of communication.
Managing expectations is very important for such a massive change, but the entire process has been done with scant regard to members - upon whom the site is entirely dependent for content.
