I Want to Improve the Experience Project

Why...?

By: Plaid

Written on July 21st, 2012

Why are my groups displayed in random order now? In the past, groups were displayed in chronologically, according to when I joined. So groups I join today would be on the first page of groups, while groups I joined a year ago are on later pages.

This is no longer the case.

And I am confused. In the past, I was able to keep track of my groups by remembering loosely when I joined them. For instance, if I remembered that I joined Group XYZ a looooong time ago, I'd look for it toward the end of my list of groups. If I knew I joined Group ABC last week, it should be in my first few pages.

So why are you shuffling things now? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the ordering anymore. It's not chronological, or alphabetical, or even by number of members or stories. Good as I am at seeing patterns and solving puzzles, this is beyond me. Why did you change something that worked quite well?

Please put it back. Please?

We've made no recent changes to the way groups are listed. We display your top experiences, followed by groups based on when you joined them, with the most recent joins up top.

We also have a list of various sort options on the top right hand corner of your experience group page.

  Okay... I acknowledge what you said. But your words are not aligning with the reality of my groups page. What you described is accurate as to what my groups page was in the past. And the drop down menu of sorting options is there and it does work. But within the past week or so, my groups have been scrambled. There is no logic to their order.
  What you said *was* true. It no longer is.

Yes and if you join a group and don't put a story in it immediately, you have to search using the Google search box at the top of the site to find the group. You cannot go to your group list and type it in. All that comes up is that you are already a member of the group but it doesn't bring the group up so you can either add a story to it or remove the group. Way too many extra steps just to share a story in an experience.

  Right. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this new system. If I were a new member who joined a bunch of groups and got THAT mess, I'd probably leave. And I'd tell people that EP has an interesting concept, but it's too dam hard to navigate.
