Thread: Shit websites

worst websites are usually for electrical and electronic spares
check this one out: https://www.sicom.co.nz/

A lot are just flashy ads for upcoming or current models. Even recently dropped products have no downloadable manuals, spare parts lists and diagrams listed anymore. Some few companies have excellent data base of past models with support info (esp for diy repairs) but most pretend nothing existed before apart from what is currently flashing over your screen.

I really hate that web sites leave out of stock products up as fishing bait

Or is it just that the whole world is out of stock of everything ?

If you are not fussy or more budget focused, use proton vpn. Its free. Im able to watch alone via history channel direct from America. Probably not in 1080p but its good enough.

Opera browser used to have a built in one but im not sure that is still a thing.
@akaroa1 if you know how to install a browser i can find out if that works and let you know. If not and you need someone a bit more tech savy i could dona step by step or pop around. Im assuming your somewhere on banks peninsula, judging by your name.

All this advice is based on pc. Im sure its similar on phone and I'm happy to look into it.

If you use a mac. I have no idea.

Wasnt the kings site?

Nz organizations do the same errors. Major retailers product search function as rubbish.

The number of websites that don't follow the fundamentals like having contact details on the home page is impressive

Nah, they don't want to waste time talking to you or answering Emails. Just press the buy now and buy shit off us.

Night force website is fairly comprehensive.
Try looking there as I think your just looking at average optics like their website.

But if we are talking hard to drive websites, Reloaders should be on the list and Workshop Innovation is a pain in the arse too.

I am intersted to hear what so hard about Reloaders as i found it quite easy to use.

Once you've got the hang of it and what not to click so you don't loose everything... After that, it's just slow.

The DOC website.

It should be the go to for route info, hut and track photos etc but it's rubbish. Wouldn't be hard to link up with the tramping clubs for trip reports or have their hut/track maintenance teams write decent descriptions of the major tracks.

It's the same BS for the hut bookings on great walks vs all the other huts You need separate logins for each site.
