confused

:? I don't understand a number of things here.
1) On the home page the nomination date for all of the shirts on the front page is a date in the future. What does that date mean?
2) If the awards are monthly, shouldn't the votes disappear at the beginning of the month. Yet the shirt at the top of the list now, is the same one that has been there, with the same votes.
3) The "Awards" page (and this has been mentioned before, I think) the shirt listed at 1st has fewer votes than those listed at lower places. The first place shirt on that page has also been the same since I signed up over a month ago.
Are these bugs? To a casual observer who might come to the site only occasionally, but pays attention to detail it would look like the voting is just a farce.

Thx for the comments Buffalo....


We are aware of the wards page problem on the site but all our resources is spent developing the next phase so we can do proper marketing to attract more shoppers in. This is not an excuse for which I apologise for.


As a taster, we have found the ratings and votings to be too confusing when displayed as a way to order the products and didnt really achieve our goal of showing a changing environment of the best designs to our shoppers. We have worked on the system to incorporate our IRateThis score for each product based on our own algorythm. This makes it much easier for casual users and shoppers to understand the site.

Dont worry, the ratings and votes that your products have got so far is used when we push the next phase out. When? .... hopefully next week. (fingers crosses).


Due to this new system the current awards will be no longer used and a new improved system will be presented.



Thanks,



Matt
