12/14 - Tilt a Whirl Thursday!

The more I look at the new site, the more I hate it. So many stupid design choices...so much pointless white space, especially on the dashboard, and so many elements that I rely on for information are in a smaller font/harder to get to/both.

Are mostly-lurkers allowed to reeeeeee? I kind of hope they can't fix the problems on the new site and end up going back to the old one

There's got to be a $ reason for the new site (we're talking amazon here) - so whatever benefit they expect financially ---- they'll get it eventually. Us? Well, you know what they think of us.........

hey there, i'm about to post some more paraphrasing HITs at 4pm eastern

Bold prediction:

They try to launch the new website tomorrow.
Everything is so fucking broken they decide to keep the old website up.
It takes 12-18 more months to work out the kinks and truly launch the new website.

I hope so because I still haven't updated any scripts.

 

[catnapped]

I'm kind of wondering if it'll actually happen tomorrow... because, you know... amazon.

Maybe they'll forget about it

They're even worse.

I just hope my transfer from mturk to AP goes through tomorrow. I've been using the old site to do transfers. Haven't tried it from the new site yet

I have transferred through the new site and the money went over to payments normally.

I would not be surprised. The amount of links that keep sending me back to the old site are astounding.

Well, considering new design both provides less information and is harder to read, it's hard not to think that its main point is to slow the worker down - thus providing a sort of corollary to this new throttling thing that all the requesters love?

Which, you know, is *so great.* But you're right; I do know exactly what they think of us.

 

[esprit-hyperdoux]

i'm not expecting our jobs to do anything weird on the new site but please think about reaching out to me or @IPsoft AWS Account if you have problems (or anything at all related to our hits really)
