The functionality of the forum has gone down the drain SIGNIFICANTLY ever since your acquisition from the @formeradministrator
It’s apparent that there is some serious cost/corner cutting going on.
Firstly, we are not interested in downloading media! It’s absolutely annoying and risky. Before your acquisition, we would simply stream any media via the browser’s in-built media player.
Now, we are forced to download sketchy videos to our smartphones.
Second, even uploading images has become impossible. For instance, when attempting to upload @Swansea’s Kenyan ID, I’m met with an error message “Oops we ran into a problem”
I suggest you revert to the original settings, or sell the forum back to it’s predecessor.
There’s only one reason why a new administrator would follow through on the restrictive policies and punitive habits of the former administrator. You may remember that all those things you’ve mentioned, and many others, have caused friction in the past.
a) Images and other media mysteriously disappearing
b) Being forced to download media
c) Searches that yield no results
d) Avalanche of Ads and pop-ups
e) Many other random inconveniences that seriously degrade user experience
f) Promises that remain unfulfilled “tuta fanya hii na ile”….ad infinitum
g) High handedness of MODs, but mostly mods who are indifferent to users concerns.
What are the odds that a new manager could have the same behavior as an old one? Even if you account for #NIABM?
appoint me as the UX manager. I will introduce Forum Events
I will implement a more interactive approach to posting
I will remove Categories so that the forum runs like twitter
I will prioritise the most popular posts so as to create a kenyatalk celebrity niche
