Guntrader Website Update

Happens all the time.

Organisation decides they need a change. They advertise for the job but aren’t clear enough about the requirements. Contractors bid for it without fully understanding the requirements. Organisation chooses cheapest bid and commits. Both sides then have an incentive not to ask enough (or the right) questions.

Contractor starts doing what the job description requires, but then start to realise the job is actually far more complex. Often they try to explain this to the organisation, but the department overseeing the implementation of the new system either doesn’t have the budget to pay for the additional work, or starts to try to conceal the problem from the rest of the organisation, hoping that it’ll all just work out (or both).

When the new system goes live, it’s a disaster. But quite often the old system can’t be switched back on because the licence on it has expired.

Ask me how I know…
Spot on.
 
The phone number has been suffering an outage for 45 minutes...... for a week now!
I paid for an advert which is currently not visible, its showing as sold. I emailed them a couple of days ago but no response. Emailed them again today. Not happy!
 
Yes what a mess, what's that old adage "if it aint broke"took me some attempts to get into it what a palaver, doubt they will do any thing whilst getting the Trade revenue.

I wouldn't be so sure. Just got off the phone speaking to an RFD about one of a gun on the site. Without the S/N though, he couldn't tell me jack about it as he's been locked out of shop's account!
 
My ipad really doesn't like the new site. Seemed like a good idea at the time I suppose. What happended to testing BEFORE going live!
 
Yep, hopeless. Got a couple of adverts running and cant save any changes to the description when I try to edit and they have removed the counter that shows how many views the item has had.
 
On yesterday , TBF its a lot better than it was before imo ( though its been shocking just previous) . Only real issue is they have posted the data over , so if you have gun or guns up you likely need to fill in some extra info on your postings now and get better pictures up
 
happy its just not me..disaster can’t find anything,
hopefully it will get sorted…
🫣
Oh dear even the girls cant find which frock to wear, what a disaster. Just have to stay in do your homework and learn. Just like the older generation have to.
M. E.
 
Feel very sorry for the dealers who have their stock lists linked from their own site to the guntrader site, currently just not working.
I expect this will crash revenues, what a shame if it goes under due to new IT, we need an easy go to gun porn site.
