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.

Couple of things get me.  This is a major overhaul.  $$$$   Next is poor timing.  When do you use this site most?  Start of leagues.  OBTW, how about all the Youth changes?  All kinds of people probably needing to go to a place foreign and not working.

Funny, I was just talking about this at lunchtime with a teammate.  I told him about the new USBC site and we were wondering why they did not do this in June and have plenty of time to work the bugs out before the start of bowling season.  Plus, the league secretaries would have had time to repost the last league standings sheet onto the new site so that it would be there for the start of the new season.  

With new bowlers that have moved during the summer, I imagine that there would be a lot of secretaries trying to look up new bowlers' averages and that's not even ready to go yet.  Around here, I think some leagues are starting next week or the following week.

i also noticed that when i tried to view member profile, my pop up blocker prevented it from opening a new window...im pretty sure i can make it allow this site to pop up, but that seems kind of a pain...

The "Search for members" link is not working. I tried yesterday and today.


Now that "search for members" is working. But it won't let me reprint my member card.

And if I close the pop-up window, it won't let me do another search until I completely close Firefox.

The new site does look better with all those Flash, but it is not as useful as the old site...

Why, Why, Why, do they do this.  Everything works great and some airhead decides that they need to upgrade and change the whole format.  Not only with this site but other sites as well. Make minor changes and see how they work in the real world, not just throw it out there and see what happens.  
I agree with everyone about this site...it is terrible "RIGHT NOW"..try and get the average of several bowlers.  you have to completely get out of the section before you can check on the next person.  It is terrible workmanship on their part.  I have already sent them an email about their web site and until more people complain to them...it will remain business as usual.  start flooding their in box with complaints and they will get the problem fixed a lot sooner.

Sean: On the Google link, click "View". This will open the waiver PDF, you can print it or save it from there.

I am still trying to figure out how to reprint my member card...

To be more specific: do a Google search for "usbc youth waiver", and on the first hit, click on "view".

Thank you for the help guys. So now with the waiver filled out I can bowl in a singles adult league, right the paper isn't only for tournaments?

Seems like it's just like the rest of USBC. Everything going downhill. Membership, awards, service and now even forum design. Guess it figures though.

Here's a comment from a Bowl.com forum moderator:
"Please excuse me as Ive deleted your previous post due to the fact it had absolutely nothing to do with any positive aspect of bowling. As the rules state when you signed up, we are here to promote "bowling" in a positive way, please, please help us to do this on this board."

With this kind of regulation...that forum will probably fail miserably.  How can it work if you cannot criticize USBC?

Gary,

Probably because USBC was moving to TX from WI at that time.  

Another one of Jeff Boje's bonehead moves.  Anyone want to buy some cheap over priced property with a basically new tech building in Greendale, WI?  Ever wonder where all the $$$$$$$$ goes via the USBC and why you are pouring money down a rathole with the rest of your USBC members.  You gotta just laugh.

We were told the building was sold when the whole moving to TX started.  Which was supposed to defray the cost of the move.  Guess what?  It ain't sold after all.  So now we are paying for two locations.  Plus moving those that transferred and training the new staff.
