Discover new ways to elevate your game with the updated DGCourseReview app!
It's entirely free and enhanced with features shaped by user feedback to ensure your best experience on the course. (App Store or Google Play)
You so weirdYou might say, "who is this dunce 'cefire' and why is he posting so much?"
I answer:
Cum on bro, now you're just being a jerk off.I was digging the push notifications until I realized it's extremely distracting when you're trying to masturbate.
Totally agree about the logo. I guess that's what I mean. I don't want "the same" logo necessarily. But I want a modernization of the old logo, something that still has the pencil basket.
Side note: This forum is SO MUCH better. It's almost like, a modern thing.
I love your layout and suggestions in general. I think that's a vast improvement for the homepage. I, too, am a fan of the old logo, but can accept some level of modernization. Change is always hard, and some updates to the site like that are things people will grow to be used to.
Things I miss are definitely in part addressed by DFrah's layout. I also have no idea now how to know if the TR levels are the same, how close I am to achieving them, etc. I miss the achievements and fear those are intentionally gone. Admittedly, it's probably a small subset who really care about that.
By all accounts uploading photos has vastly improved - that's great! That was a rather clunky part of the site before. The road trip planner was also super buggy. I liked using it but it needed some improvement; I'm not sure if that even exists now though. Forums having the same login and the general layout of the forums seems like a huge improvement, so there are good things here.
I also prefer the Top Courses sorted by numerical value. It seems like the number of reviews is being factored in now but there's no clear way to tell how. The biggest thing separating us from UDisc is our reviews and ratings are actually objective and not skewed way too high.
i highlighted what i like in these post quotes (i like all of dfrah's changes).Something like the attached image is what I'm proposing for the home page. I have added red number 1-5 which are meant to denote features as follows.
1. I have to agree with others that I don't like the new logo. Is there a reason we can't use the old logo? I think it would be fun to keep the retro logo.
2. I removed some of the buttons at the top. To me the key features of the site are Courses and Forums. Members is good to have prominently there too. All the other stuff matters less so I'm proposing we add a "More" button with a drop down list to get to Discs, Calendar, and so on. When you click "Courses", then it can go to something like the current home page with the full page table of courses. -i like the new 'what's new' & think it should remain as a main button
3. This is a large format tile with a photo along with info about a single randomly selected course. It changes every day. Sort of like the old site had, but with more info about that course right on the home page.
4. Top Rated courses and Most Played courses, starting with #1 at the top and showing the top 10 on the home page.
5. Latest Reviews and Latest Forum Posts. As they are now, except that the height of each forum post entry should be the same height as each review entry (as opposed to forum post entries currently being smaller). These could just go all the way down to the bottom of the page (so however much room it takes to show the ten course tiles).
@greens let me know what you think! Also everyone else let me know if you like this, what you would tweak, etc.! Constructive discussion is going to be the best way to dial this in in a way that more people are happy with.
This!I think once we all get over the sudden shock and get things figured out, and once the powers that be get the kinks worked out (which they seem to be working hard at), I think things are gonna be pretty good.
it's comming backI would like to second the bringing back of the achievements. I liked to go through and see the members that had the most countries, or photos uploaded or miles walked. For some reason, I like meaningless stats and leaderboards and really will miss that feature. I also enjoyed chasing achievements and working toward them.
Top members and achievements will be back soon
How do you add photos?I just added a pic to my local course. Quick and easy.
Attach files button.How do you add photos?
Agree 100%. I was legit upset for a few days. Now I'm in the acceptance stage. I definitely won't be using the site as much. Too similar to a social media site now. Dozens of useful SM sites already exist- why try to copy their format?? The reason I Ioved DGCR was bc it WAS different. SmhThe word for this this redesign is "business killer". Hope whoever owns this is taking notes, so that he won't destroy the value of their next investment. If this site stays like this, then good night Irene to DGCR. The old home page encompassed everything that was good about this site. Now the home page just makes me want to vomit. When you look for courses you look in an area. Stupid to have all these course from all over the world populate the entire home page , and the entire home page, when the old home page included pretty much all the types of content you can find on this site. Owners of this site just gave UDisc a huge leg up. The green font is entirely unreadable to me as well.
I think there is a lot of agreement regarding the logo. The staff has said it is only a placeholder and there will be a better logo in the near future.I rarely post. Gave myself time to get used to the new look and figure out where all the stuff I care about was at. I think it will be fine in the end and be different enough from all the social media platforms.
But that logo is dog doo. It's a disc golf website, that green thing just looks like a refresh button.
