New USBC Website
« on: August 03, 2009, 12:57:20 PM »
That is easily one of the worst website redsigns in the history of the internet.  As a USBC member, I'm embarrased by the site and think the boneheads responsible should be fired.

Well, bowlers don't have anything to do with the USBC, it's not like we are funding them or their website, so why should we expect to have any right to comment or criticize what they are doing?


If you are a USBC member, isn't a small part of your dues going toward membership services, including the bowl.com web site? If it isn't the members providing the funds, who is it?

BAPSBill, do you feel that those alleged "sponsors" are getting their moneys worth?

USBC seems to have a misguided conception that the organization is communicating with its members and associations when in reality all they are doing is attempting to stifle differing opinions. USBC could communicate effectively by forgoing false pride and becoming willing to learn from their many mistakes. Instead, they attempt to stifle communication and the opinions of those with whom they don't agree.

Looks like my Friday night league secretary has tried to post the new standings sheet twice now (two new accounts) and the bowl.com site still won't show it.

Worst website redesign ever.

Does anyone know where they moved the PBA Experience lane pattern pages?

Todd,
The great moderator Chance claims that your account was restored after it was "locked"...after the email you apparently sent to him.

BTW, apparently I got a post yanked last night regarding USBC status as an NGB and how I couldn't find another NGB that ran a forum, let alone censored one.

Oh yeah...I also wondered how Chance's post regarding your average wasn't pulled by another moderator since it had nothing positive to do with bowling...

ToddM, do posters get various "sentences" or suspensions based upon how negative their posts are, and is there any right to appeal a suspension from posting?

i received an email from jason overstreet saying that apparently there's a problem with the program and that there are others who are getting the same message.

i told him that i am still not able to log in and that it's still saying that i'm suspended. so who knows...

i can't wait until they fix it so that i can log back in because i've got a HUGE SUPERSIZED SUGARY SWEET message for the mods.... *laughs*...

ToddM, the moderators over there must really love some of the things you post, even if you are being sarcastic based on what you've posted here.

I'm sorry but I have read each enter in this topic to see how to find the membership search link.  I can't see it anywhere on the site.  I looked in the upper right and corner as directed in any earlier post but still nothing.  Can someone point me in theright direction???

I think on the upper right corner of the homepage there is supposed to be a Search For... box and just on the right side of that is a dropdown selection where you can select Member.  Double click on that and see if it brings you to the page you want.

The new USBC site is not a user-friendly site.  If you only select Search For Member, nothing happens.  You have to do a double-click on it for it to work.  If you mistakenly click on the button just to the right of that search window, it takes you to the forum site.  Bad, bad design.

Bad, bad design indeed, and made worse when every post is held for potential and frequent censorship by the moderators.

ofr- i don't know if there is levels of sentencing depending on the severity of the post being negative.

i'm sure there is a process to appeal but that's through usbc and more than likely they would side with their own.

apparently it seems to be a clitch that i'm still suspended after several tries of trying to log on. jason overstreet says that he'll look at it tomorrow.
