What happened to the Warriors?

by Jonah Klimack
13 replies
I joined the warriors I think back in 2001 or 2002, maybe earlier.

Back then, it was amazing.

Now....

The search doesn't work
Contacting support gets no reply
I had a war room subscription, now it's gone
it's really hard to navigate and convoluted
discussions are limp, at best (sorry, but it's true)
lots of spam, too much "marketplace" IMO

Yes, there's gold here, if you hunt for it,
that I will not take away.

But that's because it's the warriors making posts,
quality advice/content/provocative questions etc.

But what about the website?

Am I alone here, or does anybody else feel a little
sad that this is now the state of the warriors?

    Hello, just wanna ask a few questions

    1. What happens when you try to use the search function? A bit more details would be very helpful here.
    2. Did you reach out via PM or via Ticket in the Support Desk? If its via ticket, could you PM the ticket ID so that I can personally check?
    3. If you check your profile title, you can see that you are a War Room member. Can you double check if you can access the War Room section?

      1) When I click the magnifying glass, the search window opens up, I can click in the text field. As soon as I type one letter, it disappears.

      But there's also the search function itself, the quality of it... it's just inaccurate, and not flexible. I'm not being picky, or complaining, I just know this site makes a ton of money, search should be top of the line functional, not 2008. Especially since there's so much good content here. I always have trouble, even with advanced search. I'm a programmer, so I know how to do searches

      I have a chromebook and use chrome if that helps.

      2) ticket in support desk, the ticket just closed, no reply. Second time that happens. I've been trying to get my original account for almost a year now. I want to post a WSO and I want people to see I've been a member for a long time.

      3) I just joined the free trial, hopefully before 30 days we can sort this out.

      I really appreciate all the hard work that's put in here, I just have a pet peeve with businesses making a ton of money, that don't invest back in the UI experience, or don't upgrade their technology to fit with the times. Just my $0.02.

      the search function in the middle menu works, but the top magnifying glass doesn't.

      Here's an example of what I'm talking about, re: the search not being effective.

      I searched for "beta testers" from a year ago until now

      no results

      I searched same for anytime

      results, but, the first one is may 2017.

      Most often, searches that definitely should bring results, bring none, or, not accurate ones (like at all)

      I'd love to search as effectively as the say...

      go to http://laracasts.com

      that's the kind of cutting edge UI i'm talking about..

      *sigh*

      I posted looking for beta testers in warrior for hire, redirects me to pay $5, no problem.

      post disappears, no mention of it, no status, just gone.

        thanks, we'll have someone respond to that asap.


        I click to go to daily deals, and I'm hit with youzign, which I already purchased,
        and after searching extensively, I do not see a way to avoid this and go to the daily deals.

        I'm sorry but everytime I come here, it's the same problems, then I get discouraged, and I leave.

        How many visitors do you get? How much revenue per day?
        Don't you think it's worth investing a little bit in the usability??
        I can't be the only one having problems.

        I see that the sales funnels are working, effectively I'm sure.
        Sorry to hear about that. I'll forward this to our Engineering crew and see what can be done.

      just tried to search special offers, taken to a page that freezes and doesn't complete
      and not freezes cuz of connection, stops loading, says done, but it's just a bunch of black rectangles

      I'm just going to keep pointing these things out because you need to know
