Anybody tried out the new draganfly website out yet? Seems a lot slower than the old one... ???

just had a quick look through the A50/65 parts, seems a lot quicker than the old pages.
pictures of individual parts seem clearer.
my only complaint, the list of parts does not contain steering head, had a browse through handlebars, frame etc no mention then looked at thebottom of the page and there is the drawing for steering head.

Did you look at "Yokes"???

no, but why list as yokes and then steering below.
yokes would normally be the triple trees, steering ould include damper .
it was a quick look after a nightshift

Got me there Chaz. I cant figure out the why's of these company computer wizards. One of the ongoing problems I think stems from the fact that the programmers and writers, write as if we are all up to their level of computer literacy, which often (certainly with me) far from the case. They write programmes for programmers and not for users. Clever buggers but that is of little help to me.

I find the same. I often go on sites to purchase something and it is so complex that I give up. They must lose a lot of sales but it doesn't seem to bother them.

I have an interest in WW1, visiting many cemeteries and graveyards in France. One source of information is the CWGC web site. the site had a major overhall last year, not one person provided positive experience, many reports were for missing links, missing maps, removal of certificate and other search function  that up until the upgrade worked fine. the CWGC response was to the effect that they have changed their logo to a more PC/World friendly one which , by the way is worse than the original one.
The Great War Forum also went under a change , its reasoning was to make it more user friendy for mobile devices. My old iPad was fine until the change, now I cant see posted links or reply to posts. Ive been told to upgrade my ipad to get the results back. Ive gon from a ipad 1 to a 3 and still cant see it. If I reply I have to read on the ipad as its a bigger screen then reply onmy android phone which means I cant read the writing as its too small.... Progress I suppose.

BTW, if you have an account with Drags, you should check your data. Everything got mixed up so you probably now have the address of somebody in another continent, an e-mail from somebody else and so on. You have to update and correct everything on your account...

Hi,

I do not set up accounts with parts suppliers but just buy as and when.  It looks like those with accounts should complain about this.
