• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Aaaarrghh! Rant of the Day

Oh FFS. After a lifetime of designing IT systems that actually work and more importantly take into account the processes that a user would have to go through and above all embracing the concept of Change Management, I continue to be hacked off with the crap system being designed by todays' IT 'so-called' professionals.

Marble have redesigned their website. Leaving aside the fact that, yet again like others, it has been designed by a committee of two-year olds with massive fonts, huge amounts of white space and a desire to make me wear out my scroll button and patience while I wade through all this white space, they changed the criteria for passwords. So if your old, previously valid, password no longer meets these criteria then when you try to log in, the website simply tells you incorrect username/password. Nothing to the effect that you need to choose another one. Or the reason.

So, because you know that the username and password worked perfectly well the last time you accessed the site and that you haven't changed it, you waste time trying to work out what else might have gone wrong.

So simple to anticipate and yet this is seemingly beyond the f****its at Marble.

Grrrrrr.......rant over.
 
I've seen quite a few similar rantings about website redesign and it seems to be being done to accommodate tablet users. I've no experience as the tablets I use are for my diabetes. :lol:
I still use real computers for computing and see reduced density of information on these websites and the need to use many more screens to get the same amount of information as before.

Just chill Roger. Life is too short.

Anyway I thought Marbles was a CC for those with dodgy credit status :?: :?: :?:
