First post from forum newbie...the website 'sucks' for new users...
Ok, just joined the forums. This is first post for me.
I'm newbie in the forums, but I do use EasyBCD on both Vista and Win-7,
and it's very nice! Love it.
[Today, I tried installing it on one of my many older Win-XP systems,
and have problems. But more on that in another thread, later.]
Just have one 'bone to pick' about how the website works. I remember
seeing this before, but ignored it back then. Gotta mention it now. :brows:
Ok, for starters, maybe I should apologize for the word 'sucks' in the title?
But, let's be honest, it actually does. Well, it's VERY CONFUSING!
A newbie wanders over, probably expecting easy sailing, because he/she
heard good stuff about EasyBCD. So, wanting to download it, they click on
the obvious big arrow and immediately get SOLICITED, for other (crap).
As my father-in-law would say at that point 'this is not good'.
No kidding. I had to HUNT all over. looking for the correct thing to click
on to start a download. I was about ready to just get one-version-ago,
because THAT was findable (and then upgrade later).
FINALLY I did, after what seemed like 3-5 MINUTES, see that I could
skip down past the STUPID big arrow, and click on a tiny bullet that
started a download of the latest.
What's up with this? (WTF). :evil:
That is NO WAY to treat first-time users.
[Whew...there...I'm starting to feel SOMEWHAT better already.]
But, seriously, what's up with that? :lup:
[And another side-issue: Any way to make the forum auto-subscribe me to threads I've started/posted-into?
That's the default-behavior, most places that use VBulletin (which is 'cool'), so why not here???]
