The usual 'We'd like to pretend you've got a say'. When, in reality we don't really care.

Happened at work. One e-mail asking our opinions - then - nothing. Obviously our opinions on two systems brought out together, neither of which worked properly weren't too positive :-(

Any e-mail mentioning an 'upgrade' resulted in a loud groan from everyone in the vast open-plan office (another bad idea)!!

So is anyone surprised?

I'm glad I didn't hold my breath

:-(

blue doesn't suit me, especially as a face colour.

Any decisions made?

Hi Barry,

We are collating suggestions. It is helpful to get feedback from Genes Reunited members regarding names of packages - we would like the description to encompass what you receive as a member.

I cannot provide a date for renaming the membership types, but all comments are extremely useful.

Any chance of an update or is this just another idea that's died a death without trace ? (No response to my last posting dated nearly a month ago)

On 31 May 2013 Community said that a decision had not yet been made (This, I think is their only posting on this topic)

What was the point of this exercise anyway - Is anyone bothered what they call the various levels of subscription ?

Genes priorities of late all seem to be misplaced !!

Still waiting ........

wonder if GR decided on the new names yet .....

Thanks for the up-date Natasha.

Seems there are'nt any reply's worth adding, not many peeps are happy with the site:((((
Perhaps some are right in what they say "sort out the problems you have before adding anymore"

jude ;-)

Hi everyone, thank you for all of the suggestions so far. This is an ongoing project so we haven’t made a decision yet. We’ll update you when we have.
Keep the suggestions coming!

IMHO, having read some of the nonsense on this thread, I fail to appreciate the necessity of change for change's sake. The current terms for subscripton packages have been adequate for a very long time so why alter them?
Is it merely a case of someone in your office needing to validate his/her value as an employee? - make a name for him/her self? Perhaps, but I always advocate a policy of 'if it ain't broken, there's no need to fix it'. The existing terms for the packages are understood by all the millions of members - a change will merely introduce confusion. The only time that a revision of subscription package names may be necessary will be if and when the actual packages themselves are changed.
A labourer of yesteryear may now be called a 'pick and shovel operative', but nevertheless he will still be a labourer! Keep it simple - leave it as it is and has been - and devote your energies to something more productive for the membership's benefit ... ;-)

Looks like it´s died the death as far as the GR team are concerned.

Well GR please get off your backside and state that you have read these comments.

Why - well we are going round in circles.

You started this thread so do the decent thing - REPLY to it.

Because I for one will not be renewing my membership because of your inapt way of doing things.

It used to be a good site but NOT anymore because of the way you treat you paying member.

So as I said get off your backside and take control of your site pronto
