Wouldn't matter if we were the kings of the world, consideration for others should always come first or we are no better than animals.

Bow to other standards? Its the INTERNATIONAL date standard, its not bowing, no country owns or uses that standard nationally from heritage. It was made up to stop confusion.

Its not like a particular country made it up and now we all bow to it, it was a considerate joint collaboration to accommodate ALL people, instead of being selfish and only considering one set of people.

Personally I would change all dates to this, because when sorting files in this method they actually sort in the right order :D instead of having all files that are from the 1st of the month first. Just saying.

The reason is because DD/MM/YYYY can be confused with MM/DD/YYYY where the day factor is less than 13, however YYYY-MM-DD cannot be confused with anything as YYYY-DD-MM does not exist and anyone that used that would be ignored for being stupid.

It may be called the international standard but it's even less widely used around the world than the UK format :p
 
Still the website is staying the same even with a massive % of people disliking it? Are the views expressed here worth it?
 
Don't know if its just my end but on the home page it's not showing any of the categories in the header. Been happening for over a week, was fine before that.

If i click into another page they all appear fine.
Using chrome.

Actually stuff is changed every single day, but a lot you wont notice. Bugs, template tweaks, additions.

However that does not mean we are ignoring people, but style changes at the moment are lower down than making sure everything works for the user.

As long as you have a search bar and categories, any most web users will find what they want.

I mentioned before, but technically we have 3x the number of categories as before, with a most of them auto generating. Allowing far greater break down of product selection, generally without the problems we used to have of products appearing in 1 category and not another.

The old site was all manually put in categories, and people make mistakes, forget stuff and miss stuff off, now purchasers have a far simpler task.

Despite the front page being busy, most people don't care about this because most people just want to look at the latest monitor/gfx card/ see what sales we have on etc, the front page is 1 page out of thousands.

You now can reach 3 layers down in to the website with 1 click from any page, previously this was not possible.

Yes there are improvements to be made, but technically the functionality of the site and the ability to find what you want should have increased.

Hence the greater site usage and purchases.

Thanks. Personally, i like the new look!
 
Personally also as someone that works with code I understand why you'd like the date format of yyyy-mm-dd but that format should never ever be used for presentation to users outside of the tiny percentage of the globe where it is standard. It's UX 101...
 
user profile seems to show all delivery addresses when you click on "select others", including older invalid ones. There doesn't seem to be an option to delete old addresses from your profile.

Wouldn't it make sense just to substitute the month for text as opposed to numerical?

e.g. 23 Nov 2015

Not really, one of the main points of the yyyy/mm/dd is that when things are sorted by computers they display in the correct order. If you start putting text in to it then the whole thing screws up and everything goes out of order.

When you've got a huge database of files that need ordering correctly then the format makes a lot of sense (I've got ~250k photos filed like that) but it's a bit odd displaying that to the general public.
 
After using the site for around a month? mutiple times

The most annoying things
Search - is SLOW, even on business connection 1gbps at mid day. (8:00am it seems ok)
When you add an item to the basket that very annoying popup that goes Added!.
This need a option to hide it for ever!.
