CellarTracker Questionnaire

[Robert_M_yers]

If the obsessive of the wine collecting world are struggling here to get past 40%, then I’m wondering how well those are doing that don’t need 3 pages on whether it was Logan or Lingon Berry.

so many apologists
it was too long, too intrusive/ condescending/ ignorant/ arrogant…

[Marshall_Manning]

I bailed after a few minutes when I saw the % completed creeping. Just curious what percentage of respondents didn’t complete the survey?

You should set up a survey to get that data .

I am an engineer-developer, and predict that if I created a new-product survey, I’d get exactly the same complaint .

[Neal.Mollen]

Eric has certainly learned his users have short attention spans.

tl/dr

[Paul_Jaouen]

It pays to wait. Based on this feedback I’m not even going to attempt it.

[Bob_Hughes]

Ha! I agree with Paul - after reading through all the posts, I’m glad I didn’t attempt to complete the survey

[Michael_Martin]

I took it. It felt like only 15 minutes or so. I am, however, an Evelyn Wood graduate - really.

I thought it was the least I can do to help Eric.

[Eric_LeVine]

Hi all, we actually closed the survey. We got 3 times as many responses as we hoped for in a week in just 17 hours. Again, we thank you for your patience and your feedback!

The survey was more difficult to maneuver than CellerTracker!

Oh man, I was just about to start… even with all the bad rap here

I hope another, better-formed survey will come soon as I have a whole list of improvements.

[MaiMadigan]

I finished it, CT is highly valuable to me and what has been provided so well for so long earned my patience with this very long questionnaire.

Uh-oh…is classic mode going away?

In big software companies, poorly designed surveys support confirmation bias. Eric has done such a great job with the site that I trust his instincts on where to take this far more than other folks’ opinions. I just hope we don’t lose the essence of what has made this good.

Edit: Robert, I inadvertently ran into ‘classic mode’ the other day from a Google link, what a blast to the past . Didn’t realize that was there.

Right, who else still maintains a parallel site from 2003?

Governments? Oh wait, they aren’t parallel. My bad.

[Larry_G0ld3n]

Got the survey but apparently I was too late in responding. Oh well, I’m sure they’ll be fine without me. At the risk of thread drift I did participate twice for wine searcher, very positive experience.

[John_Glas]

I like Cellar Tracker now I am done with the survey.

[SBayard]

Dang, I was all excited to fill it out but now it’s closed.

How do you get back to the classic site? Some of its simplicity was pretty appealing for cellar management. I kept it bookmarked for a long time, but now that bookmark just takes me to the “new” CT.

Edit: Nevermind. I found it at the bottom of the page.

[Adam_Noble]

I got the not supported message and when I tried again it was already closed. Bummer-I was looking forward to seeing what all the griping was about.

[Andrew_K]

It’s frustrating that there are several power user tasks that I haven’t been able to figure out how to do and they are right there on the classic mode.
