Since around 2000 this has been the front page of TruckNet UK, as you can see its looking a bit dated, well for those of you who are nostaligic screen shot it, because at some point next week its going. The back end content management system cannot cope with the traffic and has basicaly collasped
So what next?
We are going to use the tools available to us, create a new front page using the Roadtransport.com website content management system, the new front page will have daily updated news relevant to drivers, a list of the latest topics from these forums, Jobs !!! on the page updated daily. and links that are relevant to you
we also plan to to start adding the drivers truck tests that you may read in T&D as a permanent record online
But there is moreā¦
We have in the planning a whole load of new features, non of which we could do with the old system. some work related tools and some simply fun as we get close to implementing them we will give more details.
But what about the excellant articles on the Insider
The insider will still be on line- but not linked, my next task is to move that content to a new software paltform, and then to steal from CM and T&D as much new content as they let me get away with
Is this the end of these upgrades?
Sorry but noā¦ already in the planning stage or actually in developement we have a number of projects that will bring you information via an easy route, this does not happen overnight but they are on their way- in a time when our industry is cutting back we are bucking the trend and spending time and money to give you added extraās
Change is never easy
The vast majority of users to this website has accepted the new format , we have adapted the site due to the valid criticism we recieved on a couple of issues, we havent finished bug hunting and we will continue to listen and make changes where we can,
WE dropped from 65,000 page views daily to 54,000 the first Saturday after we upgraded, we expected a 20,000 drop , the page views we have lost is by giving you the āmouse hoverā feature. thank you for sticking with us while we went through this upgrade process
It hasnt been easy and all your patience is appreciated
