Re: Military Time on Website

[ Edited ]

I just checked the recently aired page and it didn't have 24hr time. 

 

I'm also finding that I cannot use IE to check this, as it's just a constantly blinking page.  But it seems to work ok on Chrome.

 

I wonder if it might be a matter of 'settings' for some.  Maybe the settings for time/time zone got changed.

Re: Military Time on Website

Yes, the military time is on the Items Recently on Air page.  The weird thing is that sometimes when I click on the page the old page format comes up and is immediately replaced by the "new" page with the military time.  Not only that, but they increased the font size of the writing to HUGE!  I guess they increased the size of the writing by 25%.  Maybe they are just doing it in some time zones.  I am running Chrome and Windows 10 and don't think that has anything to do with it.  This website remains inconsistent, up and down and not available on and off........what a mess!!!!

I agree with you, keeping my money in my pocket.  I've done the same with another site that begins with A since they took the price drop filter away from the wish list area and have not spent much money there either.  More money for me to give to other sites now. Smiley Happy

@Angelmanmom,

You failed to mention your extreme humility, too.

I'm not seeing it but if I was, yes, I'd find it annoying... regardless of how 'easy' it might be or of my IQ... It's unnecessary and last time I looked, this wasn't the barracks...

I predict a loss in sales due to the new format to show items recently on air. It's a poor design that irritates the customer and it makes it difficult to see what all of the recent items on air are. Customers don't put up with poorly designed websites, they go elsewhere. 

 

Forcing a mobile view on customers who do not want it and would rather have a full desktop view is also stupid. An ipad is not a phone, an ipad may be a mobile device but plenty of people like a desktop view on one.
