catbirdseat Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Take a look. It sucks. You can no longer embed images in the threads, "for performance reasons". Can you imagine cc.com without embedded images? Quote
chucK Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Oh, I'm sorry you don't like it. I'll do something about it right away! Quote
ScottP Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Can you imagine cc.com without people complaining about things nobody at cc.com can do anything about? Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Plus the site breaks when you have a small window. Someone needs to go back to their HTML Accessibily 101 class Quote
flatwall Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) A few years ago, a guy I knew was working over at rockclimbing.com. He told me that the owner was quite a hardhead about the development techniques used. it was completely homemade without regard to the standard (and quickly evolving) practices in web design. He later quit in disgust. I have to say that I've never been impressed with the site, although I have *wanted* to be. I like the photo shuffling/rating system, and when I was starting out, I like tracking my tics on their profile. It was the first route db I saw that folks were actively adding into - myself included. Sadly, the site is too slow and too buggy for it to be a daily visit anymore.

kevbone Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 embedded images? What is embedded images? Quote
olyclimber Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 they are pictures that you wish you hadn't seen, but stick in your memories for years. Quote

I think that the last oweners burned lots of helpful souls for no reason. Somebody bought the site from them, and this is a start of an attempt to fix the bugs. I wish them well. Quote
powderhound Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 That site sucks, it is fun when you are first getting into climbing or you have a lot time on your hands. Quote
Jedi Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Does the new site screen out all the idiots. Should be nice to visit if it does. This site soooooo much better! Jedi Quote

flatwall Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Well bill, if they're under new mgmt, then good for them. I just poked around the new site again and I have to say...it's not bad. It's pretty professional looking. There are a few bugs in the msg system, but overall it works pretty well. I'm happy just to have multiple places to check for info/routes/trips/partners. Quote
