I'm not a computer wizard. .. far from it. The simpler the better. I'm not trying to knock the work that has been put into the update. .. with that being said

About 20 or more reviews of multiple escort that my girlfriend and I have worked hard for are just gone.3 years of work ,of paying for ads on eb ,of building a spotless reputation has been erased :((

Speaking of advertising, I am current until the end of September or something, but this is NOT what I paid for, sorry, I  didn't pay for distorted pictures  ( on my note4,yet every lady I looked at looks at last 30 pounds overweight ), I didn't pay to waste my time reposting, since as soon as you are on the second page the eyeball counts are 30% less than the ads on the 1st page. And I didn't pay for a backpage looking ad!   And not to mention that it kinda looks to me that the exposure provided by EB as a lone standing site is gone. With all due respect, I didn't pay to advertise for the members of the otherboard, I paid to advertise to a whole range of gentlemen, a lot of them learning about TOB from yours truly. ... things might change, but in the meantime, I feel robbed :(

Just a waste of my time and money. ..

Mine too. I have 4 years of hard work and 50+ reviews gone and the reviews that are showing on my name are not even for me.... so hopefully this changes soon.

The one I wrote for you years ago is gone; the one you used to quote in ads. I checked the list of reviews under my name and it looks like 6 to 10 went by by. Not sure of the actual count from the old board and they're all jumbled by dates so not sure who else disappeared. Like I told someone else yesterday...it could have been worse...when we switched over to the board we just abandoned we lost all of the old reviews. That's why there was nothing older than spring '07.

It is painful when it happens and it's no consolation that it only happened to a few.

A tip for all the ladies: If you have a web site it couldn't hurt to copy and paste a few choice reviews there so that they don't vanish into cyber purgatory.

...Happy Hobbying...

I really hate to say this BUT I AGREE with Ana. This is way more complicated. What happened to being able to simply click update post. We can no longer put any back ground we want or have the layout we want. Here is my MAJOR issue......The ad board is done by city. I am currently the only girl in Colorado Springs and I have recieved several e mails from guys asking if I retired because they couldn't find my ad. SO, I posted in Denver as well, but how confusing is that for the Denver guys. My concern is that the guys are so used to having one board for all of Colorado that someone like myself will not get any views. Having One single ad board for Colorado is the way to go. I feel like my options are now gone.

FOR THE GUYS.....PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ON THE CITY

The other issue is that before this upgrade I could view TOB on my phone in its entirety, Now I can't get to it at all. I have a galaxy S5 so it isn't an outdated phone. Sorry to all the techie nerds out there that kept bitching about the site needing to be upgraded, but to some of us non techie people the old TOB was just fine.  The site is harder to use, and looks sloppy. You fixed an unbroken problem in my opinion.

I myself am waiting to see how this plays out before I drop any money on posting an ad...I'm not a fan of splitting up the cities either, being from one of the smaller ones. Like Melissa said, it would mean I would have to post in multiple cities. I'm also lazy and hate having to repost things hahaha!

Are the reviews backed up to a test or build area, where they could be dumped into an Access or Excel file or something and be scrubbed or normalized?

Ms. TooSexy..  You will always be on my TO-DO list!!  I don't need your past reviews to know what it's store for me when I schedule.  With that being said, I hope the admins can rectify this situation for the long standing providers like yourself and Ms. Apple.

Just my 2 cents...

I think everything will work out we just need adapt to the change.

I do hope that we can do something about how the photos look distorted, but in all due time I am sure that things will get easier.

I know that I speak for all the providers when the thought crossed my mind about," How is this going to affect my revenue?"

As for the reviews well...OW Well

I have heard from a few providers that the past 3 days their revenue is down substantially. The only suggestion I have, until this site has worked out their kinks, is to advertise everywhere you can. Also, be quick to reply to reference requests right now. Keeping a gentleman or an escort waiting is only added stress.

Seriously?  "I know you used to have $1 million dollars, but after our changes you still have $100.  Sorry you feel you got screwed."

Yes, I realize this is a bit of apples and oranges, but these are your customers talking and your responses don't give the impression that anyone is listening.

Hmm mm

I just have a different outlook. 

Would I want to be The Whisperer, hell no. Hopefully, The Whisperer is working on one problem at a time while being bombarded with 500 from 100, all wanting resolutions Now.

Im going to wait till after the 30th and check back as playing around is only frustrating myself. I'll see then what has or has not been resolved. 

One thing for sure, I will never own, operate nor moderate any board, my skin is not that thick

Some things are better left alone. I'm not a "regular" but frequent the site to find an interesting person to spend time with and this site is seemingly lost in space.

Sadly it makes a guy look to lesser sites like BP which will eventually bite someone in the butt... hey now there's a thought.

Rest assured everyone as I have it from the highest authority that this is what people wanted and it is much more user friendly. Needless to say it did accomplish one thing, which was for me to post on the board after a four year hiatus, as for what will happen next my guess will be that I will be promptly suspended for stirring up the same shit that I said was going to happen.

It would have simply been nice had we all had a little bit of a heads up. Being told that they are changing servers over the weekend is completely different than totally revamping the site and causing the providers to lose money.  I will admit that the majority of my clientele are simply regulars I have seen for years, however they rely on the board to ensure that I will be working on that particular day.  Now the site is FUBAR for all my military compatriots!

I would hold my breath but I'm sure it will take much longer and as I mentioned to the powers above I love change! I embrace change! That is one of the reasons I loved the military and one of the reasons I love the work I do now.  What I do not like is poor planning and a lack of consideration towards others.

TW, and all the people who have worked hard to do this, please accept my apologies. You didn't deserve this, I lost track of being a lady, and to be honest, the site looks way better on my prosurface3. . .

Just a lot of changes in a short time period, overwhelming, and. . . I am sorry :huh:

I have a completely different outlook as well....planning, planning, planning....then test, test, test......information is key.  As I said previously simply forewarn individuals what will happen and have a clear plan of how providers can post in a simplistic manner.  Computers do not phase me in least.  I see solutions to problems that should be easy but don't seem to be.  If everyone had a heads up and let's say all instructions were in place and in a clear and concise manner well then how much easier would that be.  Instead I received a hundred emails from various individuals claiming to hate the new set up. I thought I would check it out and when I did I went to the drop down help menu and it said it would be available soon.

I don't know The Whisperer. I don't know if he/she is in charge or is being delegated.  Quite frankly none of us knows what is going on except that it isn't user friendly, many are losing business, and where there is one person working on the site perhaps there should be many more or at least someone who can write code quickly.

The main issue is that no one should have to wait until after the 30th to see if the kinks are worked out.  This has been a somewhat reliable board since before I started working and none of us should just wake up one day and go through this.  I find it to be similar to how many clients feel about our work:  it's not a real job to them and loss of money doesn't matter because this is a just for "fun", right?  

This happened to be perfect timing for me since my ex-husband is considerably older than I am he retired from the military and my portion will arrive 9/1. That doesn't stop me from worrying about the single moms or those who simply have bills that need to be paid.

 

Let's just say that there's a reason so many companies start with a beta version before making major changes....

"a version of a piece of software that is made available for testing, typically by a limited number of users outside the company that is developing it, before its general release."

See how simple that would be? Even if you have to change servers or security you can do that without revamping the entire system.

 

Okay, go ahead and slap me on the hand for having sensible ideas....:-P

I was going to elaborate my thoughts once again, but I think the wizards behind this journey into hell have been beaten up enough. They fucked up, they know it, and they are trying to fix it. I'll give them that credit. I'm just not sure that a system as broken and fucked up as this should be fixed.

Please do Not try and misrepresent my words! We are working hard to resolve the issues this merger caused. We felt it was best to reach out personally to the provider , hence the PM

Got a big shock when I went to check out the old real time escort ad page. Got an even bigger one when I found out the changes afoot with TOB. I sure hope that whomever was running the old web site got a nice pay day out of the deal, and then had a safe fall on them from out of the sky! I can see myself forking over $20 a year for this like I can volunteering for an OFF Mosquito commercial. I used to recommend this resource to ladies looking for a place to advertise at another adult review sight. No longer.
