The New Customer Reviews

What is delaying all of you regulars from submitting a review of the good companies that you do business with?

It will help them, and it will help me. Lets give a little back here.

I also need your feedback to make it bigger and better.

One thing I think might help is if you could pick the equipment mfg with the State Blank. That would give a view of the equipment itself ... I know that installation and service are regional or even local but in my case there are no entries for my State (Guess I could be the first to enter one) but I still would like to know what others think about the equipment choice overall.

If you are just going do equipment, i.e. Vizio TV, like I did then you use US, instead of a state. And of course for our fine friends in Canada and other places you can use Non-US.

Is that what you mean?

OK....just tried to enter a rating and got this error....pretty sure I entered all required fields.....

An error occurred while processing the form .

The form required some values that you did not seem to provide.
You must enter the image characters

You must enter the image characters

You either didn't enter any of the recaptcha or didn't get it right. If you can't quite read the words, click the little circle looking thing. If you have to go back, you do need to "refresh" the page, its just the way it is.

If you have java disabled you won't see the recaptcha and it doesn't work period. I only had it up 20 minutes and the spam robots were trying to submit a form. After that about 5 an hour. All failures would send me an email. You have to put up with that until its been tested and then you turn off the emails.

BUT thanks for trying anyway. Practice makes perfect.

Thanks to all that jumped up and provided some reviews. I won't mention the company, but one of them when he saw this sent an email to all of his customers letting them know about this, it generated 10 reviews. Smart business man.

You distr. should also do this, the more positive input the better off you are. If you have a web site, which of course, you should you could/should put a link on your site, so your customers could find it and your potential customers could read the good things said about you.

BTW, there are safeguards in place to prevent someone rating themselves or having employees do it. The results would not be worth it, trust me.

How/where do we access the reviews?

Bill, I could not find how to access the reviews. I did a post regarding Unitec but could not locate it? Thanks

 

[pitzerwm]

Well, you didn't do something right because I didn't get the confirmation email and its not in the database. When you are successful, you are taken to a Thank You page with a link to the reviews.

Thanks

Thank all of you that have reviewed someone. It is easy and it will make the Forum a bigger and better place.

I went to search the reviews, do you HAVE to enter a state to pull up the companies you want to review? What if a user doesn't know what state the company is located in? It'd be nice to be able to search by company and not use the state as one of the requirements.

 

[pitzerwm]

The next version will have that option. As usual I didn't have a clue what I was doing when I designed this, but with all of the suggestions it will be modified soon. I'm waiting until I get a little more feedback and the database more populated so that I will have as many changes as I can at one time. I am paying for this programming, so I want to keep the cost down.

Thanks to the person that wanted to rate his nite with a playmate

I hadn't thought about that possibility coming up but in light of the fact that you were at the Forum party before going to the Playboy at the Palms, I understand it. I'm glad that you had a good time at the party and later at the Playboy club.

The pictures were interesting also, I'll keep them, but I did need to remove your review namely because this is a family Forum)

PS, I have tried a lot of things in my life, but I didn't realize two people could actually do that, wow!

 

[pitzerwm]

Need more of you, actually all of you to take 2 minutes and rate one of the companies that you do business with.

The new customer review section is difficult to navigate. If you don't know which state the vendor is located it is almost impossible to check them out. It would be nice to have the option to select by vendor.

 

[MEP001]

It's not very hard to find out where a vendor is.

 

[pitzerwm]

Sparky, read all of the posts, the next version, which will be when I get back from Dubai, you won't need to look for the state only.

 

[pitzerwm]

I'm sorry if some of you got a Error: 500 when trying to post a review, there was a server problem but it has been fixed.

I am having the software modified so that rather, than just the State option, you will be able to click on Manufacturer, Distributor, or Product. This should make searching, much more user friendly.

 

[Waxman]

I got that error last nite. Will try again.

 

[pitzerwm]

It was fixed about 7:30 my time last night. Wax, I see you were successful now, thanks you very much.

 

[pitzerwm]

The New review system is up.

I hope that I have put in everything that you asked for. Check it out
