Haven't tried it yet. Sep 24

Maybe one day I will try it, maybe I won't. On a side note, sometimes improvements don't improve anything.

But if you haven't tried it, how do you know you don't like it?

It doesn’t really have a one-size-fits-all English equivalent, but Thayenga’s “sometimes improvements don't improve anything” sums it up. And it’s often a “Verschlimmbesserung” (“improving” something for the worse).

Announcing and even boasting about (unnecessary) superficial changes and selling them as improvements/ developments.

While other much more important site issues are ignored. But we won’t get into them. Another distraction attempt?

Optimisation 05:19

I haven't tried "the Polls feature on the new ProZ.com Next interface", but I took a look at "the updated classic version" of the website, which I suppose is the same thing, and I hated it.

I have a feeling that the "Try the updated classic version" link on the home page used to say "Try the new version", but has maybe been changed in response to the lack of interest ("Haven't tried it yet. 71.8%", as I write this).

Anyway, my impression of the "Next/new/updated classic" interface is that it has been optimised for mobile phone users. Doing this usually means that a site ends up looking like crap on a regular PC screen, and doesn't work properly any more.

But we all know that professional translators do most of their work on their phones - right?

I will stick with the non-updated classic version of ProZ until that disappears, and then I will do the same, as far as this site is concerned. ▲ Collapse
