Job Of The Month Comp is BACK!!! WOOOOOOO

[Dan]

The thing is dan, 99 percent of people will visit on a mobile or tablet so it's got to suit those devices well

I have the stats mate that's not the case. You're assuming you know it all again. It's nearer 35%

 

[Dan]

Click the thumbs up that you can see in the picture mate.

What, being corrected lol

That's about right for a website that gets 95% of its traffic from a search engine.

We aren't an app.

We are a website. Mostly a forum, but not just a forum these days.

We would need several apps (think Facebook) to serve all users with all features.

So don't expect basic buttons like an app when you visit our website.

You can change your vote as the settings are. If i enable no changes you wouldn't see that. But for now, i want people to be able to i think.

i really like the sound of this and think that hiding the entries until voting starts would help get more entries, but i do feel that some on the site will be slightly helped over all by the area the area thry live in and how that corresponds to standard/type of work they get in, now i just using this as an example, but lets say there is bathroom done in 300 x 600 porcelains, but with some creative solutions to wall prep or boxing, lay out or some other feature that took serious thinking and hard work comes up against (sorry marc not aimed at you mate) a bookmatch that was prepped well by someone else and was just walked in and tiled, now in pictures one will look like a better class of room regardless of the actual effort and time and skill in varying areas that went into the rooms. i can guess which will probably win if alot of guys who dont prep or are newer to the industry and dont understand the difference in overall technical skill between the different jobs are posting most votes. i have just used this as and example and i know bookmatch is an immense skill and am not meaning to offend anyone with this i hope you can see what im trying to say in that i think would be unfair if the material used starts taking prefference over the skill set involved in the job

That's job and month-specific. And fair game to all (everybody can have both kind of jobs equally so fair game IMO).

That's not something we can fix without having competition categories. So not a problem for now. Maybe one day we will have enough entries to section them off.

The way to go about it though is to show your workings in your pictures and explain in your description how it was tiled.

That way, somebody walking in on flat walls with flat tiles and good cutter who has no issues but it cost 100,000 has the same chance as a guy who does a splashback but it was the job from hell and it still ended up awesome.

It's the members that vote, so they'll see the pros and cons with both. They're all tilers too.

 

[Ttt1601]

is it just the pro tilers that can vote on then dan?

All forum members can vote.

The fact somebody isn't in the TilersForums Arms and doesn't have a red username doesn't mean they're not a tiler.

But everybody has all the same members posting, so it's all fair.
