I agree, I've had the exact same problem.

Id like to secound that. I recently tried to update a review for my absolute NO. 1 girl who by some quirk has two different sets of reviews with now outdated information. DO you think I can get response to my notes to them trying to correct this problem. Not a chance! Moderator, if you can help give me a shout!

what do you think of anik?

I'll do what I can.  As you know, the Moderators don't have any say in the reviews...  

Make sure to PM Staff and/or send a message to [email protected].

p.s.  (I know Staff is very busy with the new site design....)

Jeop - Have had same problem, does not make sense.

Side note - I also saw Crissy, on her second to last day in town. Had mixed feelings, looking forward to hearing about your experiences.

But I've had incorrect URL's assigned to wome I've reviewed in the past.  Don't know why.

This has happened to me as well.  Case in point...Helen

Amen, AMEN brothers!  My latest attempt just got shot down for the same reason.  It's about the fourth time it has happened to me, AT LEAST!  In my last attempt, the complete URL was just too long for TER's apparent byte limit.  So, I'm trying the base website for the agency, which hopefully they will accept (but I am not holding my breath since one has to navigate through the website to find photos of the particular provider).  My point is, I give valid websites, and it is STILL not good enough.  I'm just about getting to wits' end, here.  Getting downright PISSED if you would like to know.

  A few pages back, we had a thread about the bull involved with reentering all the top information, when TER doesn't seem to change or update it, anyway.  When is this nonsense going to stop?  Moderator, I know the new TER website design is nice, but we have to conduct business as usual first, or there won't be any point.  TER is in competition with TBD anyway.  Why give the competition a huge "leg up" (horrible double meaning which gives even worse imaginary visual images)?  If people just get fed up and quit submitting reviews because of this nonsensical bullshit, then we won't have a TER anymore.  Even if we did, what we be the point, if we can't get up to date review information out to our teammates?

I hope you had better luck with Crissy than I did, Master Jedi Jeopcon1....

dc!

Teammates, you're just not gonna believe this.  Trash TER; get a review APPROVED!  Yes, right after I posted the first time on this thread, I check back in and discovered my review had JUST been approved (within a 10 minute span).  Was it my flame, or was it my shortening of the URL address?  I'm going to guess the latter, but WHO knows??  One possible moral of story: find as short an address as you CAN, that does the job.  
  BTW, my just approved review is the one I was talking about on Maria, of Flawless Escorts (just in time for those who might be visiting her in DC next week).  We Bal'mer guys "take one on the chin" for you DC guys.  The least you can do is say "thanks"!  HAHAHAHA
  Easiest way to get to the review is to click on the top icon here.  Otherwise, it's under area code 561 (all cities).

Ponz - Congratulations on joining the multpiple pop club. Don't ussually pull that off with one hour sessions. Great writing in Maria's review. Appears your being laid back and playing the cards that are dealt worked to your advantage.

First off, I am right up there with the jeep.  I stopped trying to post reviews on TER years ago because the people who formated this thing are idiots. It is far too complex and anoying to go through the review process and most likely have it denied due to some lame ass reason.  Thats why I only review on these boards here.  Go F a porn star and I am the king

wow.. don't recall a thread with this many entries in such a short period of time..

First off, I had the same problem with a rejection.  TER seems to not realize that if the lady is on Eros and moves on to a new city, the old location dies, and the URL becomes dead.. While it would make more sense if Eros simply listed the provider at one static address, sadly, they don't.  What really is annoying is how new reviews are rejected, yet the existing bad address is left up without being corrected.. Maybe the TER management is just getting burned out on managing a website this large.. Having over 40 cities with hundreds of new reviews weekly, it must be an overwhelming chore.  

And since there was a comment about their new interface, has anyone checked out the beta of the 'new' version of TER coming to a town near yours?

I wrote them and of course, got no response.. They rarely, if almost never bother to respond.. Not sure what sort of business plan they have when running a website and accepting email doesn't ever deserve a response..

But if you've not looked at the new interface.. YIKES.. It's all I can say.. They've gone to color choices I think were selected by someone nearly blind, they've eliminated 'already read' links by switching to graphic link to each review/thread, so now you can't tell if you've actually read something already.. Oh yea, they have fallen in love with green...

They've shrunk the size of the review windows by having stuff on both the left and the right, mostly advertising bs.. Obviously they're taking the 'more profit' method, not an improvement method.  

I've suggested adding a ratings column to the review lists, as that's one of the most, if not THE # 1 most important aspect of a review. How many of us skip providers with consistant 5/6's??  If it was in in the search columns, we'd know a lot more info up front.. I'd suggesting moving the CITY search term to the top, as that's the # 1 search term.. Etc etc.. Nothing was responded to, or apparently done..

I'll probably be banned from the site now, although it's likely they don't even read this stuff! Hmmph..  But this place is very busy and could be done really nicely if they'd listen to us!  I get paid a lotta dough to design websites, and I wrote them email that took over an hour trying to be constructive (they ASK for comments) that didn't even rate a simple 'thank you' response..

OH well..

Well jc and jeep, all I can say is: Thenk'ya!  Thenk'ya vuuury muush!!  And joeking, you may be Joe King, but as you can see here, you are no longer "THE King".....HAHAHAHA   Ya' ain't nuuthin' but a hound dog... HAHAHA

Jeepers, that's not a response; that's a REBUKE!  Must be that "left coast" business.  TER figures they're a WHOLE CONTINENT away from US.  Well, we'll just sick Ashana on 'em, when she next gets out there.  That'll fix 'em right up...

Who ever designed the reviews and search function was a moron -- it's mostly useless.

For instance, there are about 10 categories of "build" for women.  It's great to have all those categories -- but when you can only search 1 at a time, the entire feature is useless.  I have to search thin, then go back and search skinny, then go back and search average, etc.  Why?  Either come up with only 3 categories (or 2) or allow multiple category searching.  Same problem with ethnicity -- and others.

jeopie.. i was teasing about being banned..

And my guess is this is a 2-3 man operation and they try to do it all themselves from the basement of the science building.  One thing about a website, is it's impossible to know how big the company is.  I've managed huge websites that had 2 employees, yet if you visited, you'd swear it was a multi-national conglomerate.  A well-designed website doesn't reflect the size of the company.

And you are right about them thinking clicks matter most.  Of course, from a profit motive, they do.  From a practical motive, I'm not sure if it matters.  This is not a very large community.  So, catering to a niche market means focusing on that core group.  

It brings the NHL to mind.  They thought they could make ice hockey national, but lets be honest, ICE hockey doesn't do well in warm/hot climates.. Those people simply can't relate to ice sports.. It's why the NHL is going broke and has a lockout.. Who even misses the Caps this year? I love hockey, but i honestly don't miss it. If the Redskins stopped playing we'd all be moaning and groaning..

But back on topic.. This small community needs to focus on itself.. Making the boards user friendly, with the right info in the reviews and appealing to visit is what makes TER successful.. Their lack of communication in the forums proves a certain lack of interest in interactive communication.  Seeing their 'management or executive' staff in here writing and interacting with us would be a great benefit.  But other than the moderator, who ever comes in here?

If I owned TER, I'd be in here debating and talking to as many people as I had time for, to stimulate interest and gain feedback on what's good and what's bad..

The new website is plainly bad.  Whether or not they'll fix it to make it user-friendly remains to be seen, but as I wrote them on Oct 1, and nothing seems to be different, i'll assume that's unlikely.  It's still that putrid green color palette and it's still got frames reducing the sizes of the info we COME here for! The review pages ARE TER.. Making them smaller to accomodate advertising is not the way to go.  It would be like NBC shrinking the pictures on TV and posting ads on the margins.. ! There is ample room for advertising top and bottom and on main pages.. Stealing inches on the main focus of the product they offer is simply wrong.

I don't like TDB, as it's cluttered.  TER has been a cleaner interface but the new version will make it competitive in clutter to TDB, which isn't a good improvement..

Who knows what'll come next!

Is is just me or is the font type on the beta site too small for the eyes?  i have a hard time focusing and my concentration wavers.

I agree with the thread - - this new site is nothing but eye candy for the same operation.  I look at is getting a good looking rating (say a 9 or 10) with only a 6 in performance.  I really wish that once a person has an entry that we could create a review from the link.  I would have more reviews then - - I have found paying for the service better.  I will say this - - if the service is exceptional, bad, or in any different than the reviews posted then I make sure I post.  

I just wish it was easier.

I know travelling ladies' ads get taken down but most have
ads locally (if you know where she comes from) or in the next
tour city.

good luck.

TER,

Help!  I rarely post reviews.  I recently made 2.  It has been 4 days and i still dont see either of my posts.  Did I do something wrong?  I posted a review of Jill from Flawless.  My fellow hobbyists are missing this intel.  Does this mean I am missing out from theirs?  I am starting to question the value of TER.

Frustrated

yeah, I've had a couple reviews not posted. One for a bad website for Barb and another for not enough explicit details for Samantha. I can't help it that Barb dosn't have the site anymore. I explained every detail with my time with Samantha. It's imporant that we share info so we don't waste our hard earned money. I think it's time for a switch to another board. I've looked at big doggie. What do you guys think?

same thing with my old review with Savanah/Fatima...she changes her name so many times Im not sure if my review will ever post before she changes her name again!!

As a long time webdesigner, who actually writes code by hand.... hahaha.. I do, really.. I can tell you that you are correct.. they shrunk font sizes to squeeze in the crap on the sides to advertise more.. They don't need any of it, but it's a money thing I guess.. And I've asked to add the ratings to the search results several times, but it's obviously not important enough to do it or even respond to my emails..

And who fell in love with all that GREEN pastel stuff?? I'm betting once it goes into full effect, people will visit less and write less.. it's too hard to read.. and too much of a pain they've done nothing about.. Basically, all they did was redo html.. they've not changed anything so far very obvious in the actual working code..

--JB

I don't really know why they don't have someone on call on weekends.. Doesn't help when the lady is leaving monday and you write a review on thurs or fri and it's not up til tues..

As we've already determined, TER has their business plan, and clearly, it's not really about us, although without us posting reviews, there's no TER at all..

I could probably have a competing site built in a week if I wanted to.. This site isn't complex, or particularly challenging.. What would take the time is to do all the reviews in a timely manner and still have a life ..

--JB

OMG tom!  That would be like "jumping outta the fryin' pan into the FIRE"!.  Let's not do anything RASH here, or you might GET one....HAHAHAHA  You think you're getting screwed HERE!  OMG what a HORRIBLE image it makes with that DOG...AAAHH!
