NEW RSPB WEBSITE COMING SOON!?!?

But we know how suspect this software is - click on "Latest" when there is no more timing information and it goes straight to page 1 rather than the latest addition to a thread, yet another feature that doesn't do what it should.

here we go I have receieved an email back on the links issue today 

I’ve heard things like that before. We shouldn’t have for items to be missing for so long. There has been promises made before. And even though January is a set date. That doesn't mean the software will be ok. I’ve seen this with the RSPB Community Forum many times before. If everything is ok by January. We will see if that happens. But we shouldn’t have to wait that long!

Someone hasn't been caring for the mogwai correctly ;)

More learning ...

Same old, same old!

Poor. Very poor. The first half of the response is fine/fair enough. The second half is a poor excuse.

No one is taught to roll out any upgrade/improvements in stages, which leave trails of faulty bits incl broken links. Each stage should be 'self contained'. Anything else is either poor planning or human error. Nothing else.

Warning people in advance of things like broken links tells me quite a lot.

I see they have their video back on home page...less pixilated but still not as good quality as one would have expected!
More money wasted IMO

User Acceptance Testing. An IT term. In a mature (non-chaotic) IT system or organization, new systems or changes to existing systems, are system-tested by technicians, testers, programmers, etc to make sure they perform to their all-important specifications and design. A snag-list is created and iteratively fixed and re-tested. Once functioning to expectations, they are then user-acceptance tested to make sure they are fit for purpose from the users perspective, and again iteratively-fixed and retested. Only once these tests and fixes have finished successfully are the new systems made available to the general user population, and not before. Also called "going-live" or "into production".
How often that happens and to what extent depends on management, financial and time pressures. However the less it happens, the more chaos, stress and loss of integrity and support for the system, occurs.

It was all explained on page 2 what UAT means ;-)
