As far as I can see, this thing still depends on outsourcers taking the time and trouble to provide feedback on the service they have received from translators.
I have no intention of pestering the outsourcers with whom I work, to try and cajole them into leaving feedback about me. It's up to them if they want to do that.
Personally speaking, if an outsourcer comes back to me again and again with work, that's the only WWA I need.

| Improvement? | Dec 17, 2017 |
I can go on the old feedback page, and view everything for which I have to scroll forever on the new page to see less; looks to me that the old page was perfectly alright until somebody improved it!

| Different number of positive entries in feedback card | Dec 17, 2017 |
Dear ProZ Staff,
Why is the number of positive entries in my new feedback card different to the number of positive entries in my old WWA? Also where can we find the pin function?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

First of all, I fail to see how this is an improvement (in terms of functionality, features, informativeness, visuals, etc.) over the "old" WWA card or why it was needed, and more importantly, it appears to be kind of broken, as it lacks information that is present in the "old" version, such as the (clickable) BB entries linked to the users who left a WWA, for both the WWAs with and without comments.
As things stand, clients who left a positive WWA without writing a comment appear ...

As things stand, clients who left a positive WWA without writing a comment appear as a "Willing to work with again: Yes" without any further indication (name, profile, BB record, date, etc.?).
Also, the "compact view", which is more similar but still less informative and functional than the "old" form, shows "You have chosen to hide this type of feedback" for each entry... ▲ Collapse

Hi Maria,
ProZ.com has had two feedback systems for translators. The first, WWA, accepted only positive reviews. The newest version, WWA ratings, allows reviewers to enter 1-5 stars.
The new feedback cards separate these two types of feedback (while the old WWA display does not). In your particular case, one of your more recent feedback entries is a rating.
Here is a sample image (not a real translator)
This hypothetical translator has 49 positive reviews and 41 ratings for a total of 90 feedback entries.

The pin function can be found here:
@Mirko - thanks for the feedback, the Blue Board details of feedback givers has been added.

It seems that WWA feedback submitted by colleagues did not carry over to the new feedback cards.

Hi Katalin,
There is a tab for colleague feedback (see image below).

That’s exactly where I looked. It shows zero for me.

Hi Katalin,
It should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out.

From what you say, it seems the system is open to abuse. Thanks for pointing this out. I have now made my WWA thing invisible on my profile and I suggest you do the same, by going to "owner view", and clicking on "Hide from visitors".

By mistake, I clicked on "Withdraw from BB/WWA network" and I want to reverse that decision. Please tell me how.
