[TUGBrian]

OK boys and girls...its sneak peek time!

We are just about ready to release TUG 2.0 which is a complete overhaul of the members only section (reviews, sales history, etc etc)

Before we officially do away with the old and replace it with the new code...id like a bit of stress testing from you all here on the forum.

to view the new site...simply go here

http://testing.tug2.com/rnr

and log in with your existing tug member only login and password.

view the marketplace, ratings/reviews pages (big changes here...be sure to check them all out!), etc etc.

feel free to submit new reviews and sales history data!

any comments or feedback can be shared here...or privately at tug@tug2.net if applicable!

enjoy!

please please let me know if you get any errors, id like to get them all sorted out before making the switch!

Note: this was with no defined watch list searches in the system, so what I was clicking was the column header, I see now. When there's nothing to re-sort, apparently clicking the column header gives the above error. Might be easiest to fix by just not showing the headers when no watches are defined.

I like the layout.

There seems to be a little glitch that causes the screen to flash everytime my cursor moves over a clickable link.

I will get back with more.

 

[TUGBrian]

noted both...will investigate..thanks!

sorting "Resort" column

Went to Timeshare Marketplace. Tried bringing up several lists (For Sale, For Rent) and the sort on the Resort column did not seem to function properly (by clicking on column header "Resort").

 

[FlyerBobcat]

view the marketplace, ratings/reviews pages (big changes here...be sure to check them all out!), etc etc.

The new interface for the rating/review pages is GREAT!
Sooooooo much better and so much more usable

Under BBS FAQ could this be a bigger font? Something a little more eye catching. At first I missed it and thought it was a blank page.

Somewhere in the front page http://testing.tug2.com/TUGMembers/Login.aspx under the Resorts, Ratings and Reviews do you want to mention something regarding the incentives to write reviews?

 

[TUGBrian]

thank you for the input...will note and work on these items!

Formatting in the address box has problems with some address layouts. I'm noticing it particularly with UK addresses. As in the example below - there should be a space between "Pennal" and "Near". Also the "," at the start of the second line and a format of Europe Wales rather than Wales Europe. Minor problems but it does spoil the layout.

PennalNear Machynlleth
, Powys SY20 9JY
Europe Wales

 

[TUGBrian]

Ill see if thats something we can fix keith...thanks!

images...

I added some new images for the Marriott Waiohai in Kauai Hawaii. When you click on them on the web 2.0 site, it has a bad link. The link is missing a "/" in the filename. The old images seem to work OK.

e.g. "http"//tug2.com/ResortImages/Hawaii/Kauaiwaiohai_logo_sign.JPG

should be Kauai/waiohai_logo_sign.JPG

("http" in quotes to avoid auto change to a url tag)

The TUG Advice page disclaimer text is incredibly tiny. You need to zoom the text size significantly to make it readable.

 

[TUGBrian]

will investigate and correct as necessary

Looks good, much improved structure.

Will TUG being going mobile with the new version?

Thanks!

[TUGBrian]

no, unfortunately the new site is not optimized for mobile browsing.

I always like to check for the most recent reviews but I no longer see that feature available on the reviews list. From that perspective I liked the old format better.

 

[Fletcher921]

no mobile?? Very sad! I love being able to get my 'fix' when outta town on my blackberry...

Here's a mobile for you:

When you click on each resort area....the 2nd link down on the left is titled "newest reviews"

We would not have taken this away =)

OK thanks. Newest reviews was easier to find under old system but this works fine once you pointed out where to look.

I'm sure it's something that I'm doing wrong, but I can't find a "newest reviews" link . Can you provide some more navigation details? Thanks

 

[TUGBrian]

sure can!

http://testing.tug2.com/RnR/ResortsGrid.aspx?ResortArea=12

when you click on a resort review area...in this case florida east coast/keys in the link above.

its on the left hand side of the screen you will see a dropdown list of additional links for that area...first one being "rep links"

second one being "newest reviews"
