[Please Read] Bargain Alert Tags - suggestions / feedback required?

bazwaldo

Can't really see the point of them here. Most people who look at bargain alerts aren't looking for anything in particular other than a good bargain. I would still only read the thread title and not the new tag. The new tag just makes it harder to do so.

As for using a filter, well theres already a Search Forum feature.

I vote to get rid of them.

Might advise CuLT to try some small images as an indication instead. I think we're gonna try a few alternatives before we ditch it.

Would it be possible to have them to the right of the collumn.

That way if you look to the right you can go through the titles that way ,if you choose.

don't like them either...searching for bargains most of time but not in any particular category...it just slows you down.

too many tags

General
Food
Computers
Entertainment

I too am not a fan of the tags.
It is way too cluttered.

johnny_adidas

is it possible just to put them under the thread title next to the user's name in small text, very difficult to quickly glance at the offers at the moment

Tags now have been revamped and relaunched..

I await your feedback.. which we'll pretend to heed and take on board! :P

I prefer the new tags as they are what I initially requested when the old tag system was launched. Then again, what do I know, it's not like my opinion matters around here, eh basquille...? :cool:

I do agree, they look well. Was the update down to you? If so, I like how you're obviously subtly looking for praise for a job well done.

*man enters with lopsided mustache with sellotape* Ahem, hello there. I find these new tags absolutely brill! Job well done! I am not Ruu by the way!

No, all praise and kudos should go to CuLT.

We've been meaning to implement them sooner but only got around to it now.

Good stuff. Well done to CuLT so!

No doubt other users will be as forthcoming with their praise as they were with their feedback.

I still think the only tag required is "expired" .. and perhaps a "hot" one for things like pricing errors and shockingly good offers.

I would agree, liked the way they weren't compulsory before.

I think the colours need to be stronger. Other than the expired tag they don't stand out very well on the default skin.

bmaxi

Maybe colour the brackets as well or lighten them. I still find them distracting.

sedohre

I'd prefer not to have them at all, except for the expired tag. I looks over crowded to me

brettmirl

Do we really need to have those prefix tags before each thread in Bargain alerts?

I think it's fairly easy to figure out the contents of the bargain from the thread title without the need for the prefix.

It makes the overall page look very cluttered and more difficult to read.

jim_bob

another vote here to get rid of them

Basq

Merged with existing thread regarding Feedback for the tags.

I agree with this. I think the tags are very distracting.

franman

Hate them aswell. +1 to get rid of them

subway

get rid of them tbh, expired is a good idea, or a way to vote a thread into a "hot" category.

its something that wasnt needed.

mathie

How about an image to sum up the category instead of text in brackets?

[Get rid of the tags please] Are the tags staying or going?

Don't like them at all, it makes the Bargain Alerts forum look very cluttered (compared to the rest of boards) and it's not pleasing to my eye.

Get rid of them or make them invisible

PowerHouseDan

I must say i HATE the GROC etc, Much prefered Entertainment etc rather than 4 letter prefix.

boopolo

I don't really like them, but they do not bother me too much.

What does bother me is when people create a new thread; and the heading is so vague, with no information on what the contents are. IE a thread heading: 'I saw this great deal online today '
