Default re-vamp the retailers ratings!

well...not as much a re-vamp. this is the only site ive ever seen with this feature. but, some of the posts are very, very old. it would be nice too know how good those sites are since the last time some people had posted a comment about them.

also, PC World is no longer selling components. it has its own components site, which has kinda slightly competative prices, but totally reliable from what experiences i have had with the site.
change PC World too "PC World Components Centre"

http://www.pcwcomponentcentre.co.uk/icat/home

thank you. even if its not done but considered.

Smile Re: re-vamp the retailers ratings!

I was suprised at how cheap some of the things on that site were, really knocked me back!

A 6800 GT OC for £265 inc VAT, I'd be suprised if you could find a non OC'd one for less than £300!

Great price.

I'll do a big re-vamp over the weekend, and make the section more visable. Do you have any other suggestions for the section?

nothing i can think of! peoples opinions being up too date is probably the most importent. march 2002 was the last post for overclockers.co.uk...and they might of changed significantly over the past since then too the present.
thank you though. its a great feature! im even tempted too buy from another site just too test its reliability and then make the best worthwhile comments i can about the site

I agree.

Delete everything on there and revamp it

I don't think it's a good idea to delete everything on there. As things are, if people add more comments about their purchasing experiences, that forum section will serve as a good database on a company's history.

Could be quite interesting, even, to see if any of them have become better or worse.

I've added some more retailers on there, and I will continue to re-vamp that section today. As Floppy says though, I don't think its a good idea to get rid of the old comments - as they are still just as valid

I do, however, think that if a company has changed, people will go to the earliest comments and just read the one at the top therefore getting a false interpretation of how good a company is to deal with at present...

Maybe a different layout??

just a thought

Reversing the order is a good idea, I will see how I can solve that one.

I'm working on this section even more over this weekend, and each weekend I will concentrate on a new part of the site. Let me know any more ideas you have for this section and I will try to get it done before tomorrow
