New Website Design - Can You Spot the Difference?
Latest Deals
Ho Ho Ho Deal Hunters!
A Christmas present for you, an All-New Latest Deals Website Design!
Can you spot the difference? Comment what you find!
Tech Whizz Kelsey has worked super hard to deliver a huge improvements to Latest Deals' website (not the app, yet). So a BIG thank you to him from all of us of the Latest Deals community.
Please shout when you spot things not working, we expect a few things may be broken and are working fast to fix. We really wanted to give this to you before Christmas!
p.s. The new version of Latest Deals is rolling out steadily to all members. You may need to refresh the homepage a few times to see it. If you don't, don't panic, it'll be coming to you soon!
Tom Yes higher resolution would be much better, can see the 3 dots once again on my mobile, thanks for fixing it!
sunshinemum Hello just an update that Kelsey has worked over the Christmas break to overhaul the image system so new images should be clearer now!
Tom That's great, looks much better now, thanks for the update and thanks to Kelsey too
I have just noticed that you can't now see how long a competition has left to run... unless you open each comp up individually.
Also on the competitions side - when you sort using the 'ending' button you get the closed comps from 2016! (Even when turning off the expired posts)
tumblespots Also no end date on main page for me, we might be missing out on some comps now...
I had the same issue with very old comps showing but they're gone now after I logged out and logged back in
sunshinemum At some point yesterday I had to log in even though I hadn't logged out but I could give that a go.
You should now be able to see how long a competition has left to run 
Thanks for the help!
Tom On the competitions side - when you sort using the 'ending' button you get the closed comps from 2016! - This is still the same at the moment.
Tom Thanks very much 
I can tell from the notifications I get that some LD members only enter those that are closing imminently so they must be struggling at the moment.
I notoced it was different as soon as I came on this morning, a change is always good as we become very complacment when things don't move on. Will have a wander around and see what else I can spot 
.
tumblespots Good spot! The prices seem a bit small though. I'll pass on the feedback to perhaps increase the size.
I miss the 'ending' date as I tend to save comps throughout the day and enter in the evening or save when on hols to complete when I return
lilyflower Sorry about that - this was unintentionally removed and should be back now
JediMaster Thank you, I believe we'll be working to fix that on the competition home page. In the meantime, the information is available on the individual competition posts.
Overall very nice change, however not a big fan of the user profile picture at the top, preferred that as it was before (Below the deal). Great work guys 
To share some differences that haven't yet been commented about...
- Images on homepage now zoom in a bit when you hover hover to make them a bit bigger
- Details in individual deal posts are now in clearer 'blocks' to make the information easier to digest
- Alternative deals are now shown with nice new design:
- Relevant money saving guides are shown on specific deal posts to help members save more money:
- 'Save' button has been switched with 'Share' button ('Save' still available in the 3 dots menu '...')
When a post is expired, we now put a clear warning label at the top. This is to better communicate with members the post is no longer available:
Tom I have noticed that the freebies don't show any dates (when they are getting close to expiry). Is this now normal or should they be showing a date as they used to?
tumblespots Hey just to say I've passed on this feedback. We had a problem of not being able to fit all the labels on mobile devices (sometimes there's up to 4 labels: In-store, 80% off, Trending, and the expiry) so it got disabled. We may just add them to the individual posts rather than home-page view. Will keep you updated.
I've noticed a change that has happened today - when I reply to comments my cursor is before the name I am replying to rather than after as it usually was!
tumblespots Hey This was an unintentional side effect of upgrading some other stuff. I've tried to implement a fix that should be live shortly. Please let me know how you get on
Kelsey I have replied to a few notifications this morning and it seems to be back to normal now, thanks very much
I have noticed another glitch (I hope it's not just me) but when I search vouchers for a particular company (I haven't tried it elsewhere) and then try to sort them by date the page just won't settle even if I refresh it - it stays blank. I do hope you can help and appreciate you hard work.
tumblespots Do you mean this page, for example?
> www.latestdeals.co.uk/vouchers/red-letter-days
I'm currently unable to re-create the problem I think you're describing
Tom I have just done an example on Lands End (to look for vouchers). The initial search shows this
BUT, when I try to change 'relevance' to 'date' I get a blank page. The same happens if I try and select Lands End (as opposed to End Clothing or West End)
tumblespots Hey just to say I believe this should now be fixed? Please let me know if not, thanks!
Kelsey I've just tried it on two different companies and it has worked on both. Many thanks for your help, you are a genius
tumblespots Thank you for all the helpful feedback, have just given you some bonus points!
Tom Well that was quite unexpected, thank you very much indeed.
We all know that you all work very hard behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly and do appreciate that. Enjoy a glass of whatever you enjoying drinking when you get home (you do such long hours too).
