gem22 Posted 12 October , 2004 Share Posted 12 October , 2004 The CWGC have introduced a pop-up questionaire to their website. Pals may like to take a minute or two to answer the questions. I particularly liked the opportunity to give feedback on ways I felt it could be improved. I would like to see some additions to the search facilities and now I have had the chance to say so. Others of you may have similar requirement, if so, may I be so bold as to suggest you complete the questionaire. Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 12 October , 2004 Share Posted 12 October , 2004 Those of you that have a decent firewall will not be able to see this pop-up as it will be filtered out. I have asked CWGC if the questionnaire can be made available via another route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 12 October , 2004 Share Posted 12 October , 2004 For those of you that cannot see the pop-up, I have reproduced the questionnaire below. Email your completed questionnaire back to media@cwgc.org Please note that these changes do NOT affect the content of the database etc but only the way the site looks on-screen - the 'front-end' - nor does it concern the way the database is searched (I was told this morning). It is about the website as a whole rather than the Debt of Honour in particular. The questionnaire will be removed by CWGC in a couple of days - they have had over 3000 responses so far.

wellsms Posted 12 October , 2004 Share Posted 12 October , 2004 It's a shame they are not considering adding alternative search methods. I thought it would be useful to have a search on Battalion/Regiment/Ship I know the fields are not always completed but it would help with compiling lists. Other obvious ones are where they came from. I did put these suggestions in my response, perhaps if enough people ask..... cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 12 October , 2004 Share Posted 12 October , 2004 It's a shame they are not considering adding alternative search methods. I didn't say that. I said this questionnaire and the changes referred to were only about the 'front end'. The 'front end' and the database are two different projects.

Sue Light Posted 12 October , 2004 Share Posted 12 October , 2004 For anyone using a Norton Firewall, it's just the ad blocking that stops the pop-up. Just open the programme, click on 'Ad Blocking' and turn it off while you go to the CWGC site. And then turn it back on again... Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
