I Have To Ask: Do you guys have a change management system *at all*?

Because every time you do something, the site goes nuts, the people go nuts with it.

One little post announcing all changes before you make them? Would go a long way. Surely you guys must see that?!?!

Hello

Well then

First off we completely take your point about announcing changes before they happen. This is something we fully intend to get better at.

The release yesterday was what's known in quality control circles as 'a cock-up', which is why we didn't pre-announce it

We're getting our best staff working on a plan to pre-announce cock-ups because it would be pretty useful for us as well Grin

SRSLY - sorry folks. We do know this is an issue and we're honestly working on a more systematic way of warning you when things are going to change so that you can all tell us not to do it

I there's a few posters who need a "did you really mean to sound such a massive twat?" helpful hint.

Not saying that's you SP yup, you're ok.

SPsTotallyMullerFuckingLicious · 10/09/2013 18:13

Cheers!

I think MNHQ are giving me time to think 'do I really want to post that'

Is that just something for me Grin

Apart from ops having a grey tinge mobile on my iPhone is completely fine.

K8Middleton · 10/09/2013 18:01

That's just you SP. A bit of thinking time Wink Grin

Oh howay. I don't want Mumsnet having to go through the service life cycle of the ITIL framework or similar. Anyway, I've done some of my best work on the hop without telling anyone .

I did also introduce an infinite loop that killed a vital system for 10. Hours.

... Yeah, maybe some change management would be a good thing. Personally I'd like to see a few more threads saying thanks, rather than whining. Changes that may look aesthetically simple can often be bonkers hard to implement. More cake for the tech folk is required.

SPsTotallyMullerFuckingLicious · 10/09/2013 17:58

I have no idea whats going on. I keep seeing Please Wait when I post. I dont want to wait!

Tee while I'm here is ut tonight or Wednesday that's Twitter Night? I was a day late last week Grin

I'm currently in the mildly baffled camp.

I like the zombie thread pictures though.

According to 90% of the users it's a huge deal. Huge. Gigantic. Humongous.

I see your Hmm

And raise you

Hmm Hmm Hmm

It's fine on the desktop, it goes sqiffy on the tablet when its running sloooooow.

KellyHopter · 10/09/2013 17:53

I don't see the problem myself. Is it really that big a deal?

I do not have a bigger ad banner down the RHS.

Hmm Fun, isn't it?

OP posts:
HoneyDragon · 10/09/2013 17:49

I was just about to come on here and ask nicely if anyone on the desktop site keeps getting a bigger add banner down the side.

But instead I'm going to Hmm Hmm back at Tee

It's got nothing to do with owning the site. I have no problem with change. I have a problem with badly implemented and not announced change, mostly because of the 1000000s of threads that happen because of it.

I am also all for improving the site. But I swear MN is like Microsoft. No QC and no CM.

HoneyDragon · 10/09/2013 16:52

Chub.... We all go over to the FB site to whinge, so tbf that doesn't bother them at all

HoneyDragon · 10/09/2013 16:51

Although I do strongly agree with what Jaffa said.

Chubfuddler · 10/09/2013 16:50

Ingrates. It is free you know. And if they took the sure down for hours and hours to implement changes my god the whining there would be.

nickelbabe · 10/09/2013 16:50

it's hear hear.

they've tried that before, posting on site stuff.

i know what would be better: only making changes we can't see

HoneyDragon · 10/09/2013 16:50

Yes. In short. We'd like it you stopped acting like you own the place, please. Grin
