Thanks.
I feel like honesty should be used.
I really love your services and again, you gave me full support when i needed it and that since you guys opened the site.
But honestly, before the look i believe you guys should of work on the 'load time'. It took me pretty much 5 minutes to login to the site, i couldnt vote for the poll because there was a load time error. And the site is a slow as before, same for the forums.
i will try to give as much 'cronstructed criticism' as possible and that speaking as a webdesigner and web developer.
The design
Much better and improved. It is organised and 'free' the space is used and there is much more data than before and a better access to the shows.
I personally don't like the navigation, the gradient is just not good, should have a little glow and should not go from black to grey.
The search box should be styled with some CSS which would take 2 minutes top!
You guys should definitelly think of a new logo... probably make a contest on finding VIPTV a new logo and give some free points to the winner... it'll atract people and give you a free logo!
The site features
Well organazation is key with that much data and you guys are handling it pretty well. Everything is there and you are not lost.
No colors ? Oops, i believe that's a mistake, it was a great idea to include a coloring system for new shows, season premiers and old shows.
The new search by titles, shows or stars is great, it's an easy way to find what you are looking for.
No validation, well your site is used by many people... lots of lots of lots of people and i believe it should at least get to the W3C validator... where it's not right now. I believe it's important for a big site because there is a lot of data and it should be coded and handled correctly.
Use of tables. Again, that KILLS me to see it, it's really not a way to organize data... and it gives HUGE load times. Now don't get me wrong, when data is taken from a database it should be organized by tables but a SITE should not be organized with it. CSS 2 is here, Divisions were created for that... you guys are using some... but not correctly.
Overall
The design is better, the features are better but the coloring system should be back (would take 5 minutes to add classes to each different links and give them different color values).
But i believe the features and design were not the primerly problem or at least the very first thing to do.
It took me 5 minutes to login to FriendVista and sometimes it takes that much for viptv.net
You guys are probably handling a million request a month ? i believe it's time to spend some $$$ to get a full runing server for the site and the forums because load time is tolerable for shows... but not for the site. I am from France and wow... it really kills me to wait 5 minutes to post a message that might not be posted because of a load time error... i have to copy each message i post in case!
Anyways, i really prefer this site than the other but really it should be coded differently which will give you better load time and it should probably have a better server or two ?
Would not be that hard to have a European site and a Us site for example. The shows are already separated... all you need is 2 different hosts and copy past your whole site.
us.viptv.net
eu.viptv.net
Thanks for the improvment, it shows that you guys are putting more and more effort for us... users and i personally appreciate that... knowing that what we pay for brings a better and better service.
