Life in the Community - seems that all we do here on Hyndburn revolves around paying our Council Tax!

Think you're all being a wee bit harsh here guys? note the 'under construction' sign. And for your information KIPAX, 15 years of experience would tell you to check the details of the bobby report before using it to stake your enitreview of the site. You were testing a server redirect page with the title 'Clicks and Links Ltd' but oh my god the title displayed on the site its self is 'Hyndburn Borough Council' thats a bit wierd??? lol.

Still tho I agree with the map thing and yeah firefox does make the site look hideous but lets just see what becomes of it and remember the 'under construction'.

I think some of the HBC site might even go down hill. Each department within HBC will now be able to update and change there own section of the site. Before any changes were made by the IT department which took an age to happen so it was often out of date. The new idea is that each department will be able to keep their bit up to date.

I realise that it's underconstruction and that not everything is working yet but I manage a couple of websites myself (very small ones) and it is actually helpful if people point out things that aren't working. So, I sent my list of pointers to the webmaster at the same time as posting it on here. I wasn't doing it to be nasty or cause trouble but to simply help - after all, they do invite comments.

I haven't had a response yet.

It has been set but I can't remember without digging out the info from the one last Tuesday.

Just to let you know, I received a polite thank you from the webmaster regarding the flaws and notification that things have been sent to the relevant departments.

If anyone else has any suggestions you should send them to the webmaster - if they don't know what's wrong then how can they fix it.

It's all very well being critical (I know am) but it will always be a flawed site if we don't support them. Whilst it's fun to have a go at it remember that it is that site that people in the council refer outsiders too and therefore, the view of Hyndburn that outsiders get. I think we should be encouraging them to get it right.

Acrylic-bob · 22-06-2006, 10:04

Encouraging them to get it right?????? With the ridiculous sums of money this website project has swallowed we should not need to have to run round clearing up after them. What happened to the concept of "right first time"?

SPUGGIE J · 23-06-2006, 18:34

Some on here might be able to point out and offer there advice if they are webmasters themselves. The site is for the community so the community should help if they can.

park381 · 24-06-2006, 20:37

The site is a laugh a minute. Every time I log on it's changed, think the webmaster is having a sad/bad time

Gayle · 24-06-2006, 20:57

I think it's good that it keeps changing - at least they're working on it.

As long as the changes are for the better

Isn't that what web designers use to cover for themselves when they have made a hash of things. it's crap so stick an under construction sign there and everyone will be happy.

Pull the other one. Not everyone is that gullible.
