edited February 2018 in How to use Club Together #1

Firstly, can anyone from the club state whether any of the maintenance actually affects CT, if so where we should see improvements?

Secondly, sometimes when looking at a thread, the actual space where members have posted  elongates, almost doubling in size. Not on all threads, just occasionally. Anyone else seen this happening?

    The spacing issue seems quite random and i find it can be fine then go "big" when posting on the same thread

    I'm very sorry to be the harbinger of bad news Brian, but I've just reported yousurprised. Nothing personal.smile Can't report myself but this double spacing is happening on most threads I'm going on.

    So, basically it wasn't included in the Maintenance program then?

    I have found that when double spacing occurs if you refresh the screen the spacing reduces to normal

    Yes, same here, on my Android phone, it's intermittent but there's a fault. I've noticed posting photos has not got easier and if I send a photo from my phone the quality has got less reliable.

    So glad the work they've done has been worthwhile.

    Did they actually do anything to improve CT? Maybe check the snagging list and deal with at least 1 of the problems? Ah well, maybe next time.

    If they had sacked all the IT people eighteen months ago, the site would work better than it does now.

    I've refreshed this page at least 3 times and whilst it does compress for a brief time it seems to bounce back to double spacing in, well, double quick time

    The more they fiddle with it, the more they screw it up.

    lets get it straight, the IT team don't have a clue what they are doing and we have all been saying this for some time now and never seen a reply from them ever. somebody some years ago in the office said "I know a bit about computers" so the boss said right, your our new IT department, get on with it. don't know any other club to get so much wrong and never listen to its members. even the mags a waste of paper.

    Currently still getting the wide spacing randomly and the CT part of the site is moving at the speed of an arthritic snail.☹️

    Before getting all personal with the IT department, no-one here knows the circumstances or what they are told they have to work with. They are employees within the structure and maybe, just maybe have to work with what is available to them.

    Until a decision from above is made regarding something different, they too could well be as frustrated as we the users.

    What is unforgivable is the countless apologies we get, plus the promise of feeding back to the appropriate department but it's a one way road.

    I have been trying to get onto the sites pages to look at booking, but cannot get onto them at all either with our PC or tablet. Are others having this problem?

    I just tried a couple of sites at random and I can view the availability calendars for them OK.  Did not try to make a booking though.

    Is anyone else having a problem getting into the CL search system? I click on Search CL and nothing happens. I refresh the page and start again and nothing happens. So I basically cannot access the Search CL section at this moment in time. Is it just me?

    Well, just tried getting into CL Search again and after taking a full minute it finally decided to let me in. I think someone needs to change the battery.
