Dooyoo 2014

ElefantEd

Is anyone still using dooyoo? I joined not all that long ago and enjoyed writing reviews, reading and rating others. I managed to cross the £50 threshold just before the great change, and got paid after a couple of months and two reminders to them.

However, now the site is impossible to use - the links to the categories simply don't work properly, and more pertinently there is no realistic way of attracting likes to your reviews (even if you manage to post one). The number of reviews has dropped like a stone, and the activity is incredibly low.

Have the owners just given up on the site altogether? I can't believe that advertisers will continue to pay anything much longer as they can't be getting many views, never mind orders through the site.

Hardly anybody is on there anymore. I suspect most people have just done the bare minimum needed to cash (chash) out and run before the site dies completely. I posted yesterday and can't work out how the miles are being allocated at all! The site is also listing some of my reviews as Express reviews which is confusing as all of them are over the new minimum word count. I can't even find out which ones it thinks are Express anyway.

The only good news is that the levels now longer show the majority of topics as being 'no miles.' Everything is now paying something, or should be if the site actually worked...

Ditto. I'm still posting - although spending the minimum time on reviews. My miles have gone up - more than I expected actually - but it's all a bit of a mystery. I have emailed to ask about why my reviews are showing as Express reviews. Will let you know if I get a response! Really like Ciao this days!!

Thanks to jo1976 for the new line <br /> tip. I'm slightly less embarrassed by my reviews when the formatting is half decent! Perhaps dooyoo is getting there (very) slowly. Let's hope so. No response yet on the express review puzzle.

Yes - I wrote a review criticising Dooyoo and the redesign and they crowned it! LOL!

Posting <br /> twice where you want a space to be between paragraphs does work but it counts as an extra word each time which is annoying given the new limit.

Not really ventured onto the site since all the changes and have completely lost interest which is a shame as I really enjoyed reading and writing the odd review.

I did join ciao months ago but preferred dooyoo. Will maybe have to give it another go.

I am back on DooYoo. It is much improved in terms of being able to submit reviews, and receiving miles. I am almost at cash out again, faster than usual....

Oh good - think I proposed that crown - never thinking they would do it - well done!1
Yes I am back there a bit hoping it will pick up - at least we have paragraphs now!

Though I have supposedly got 19,000 pending miles that never seem to change to being redeemable. I also have my 11,000 proper miles still there. Trying to get to 20,000 to get a voucher anyway.

No idea why its taken them so long though.

Yes if we are annoyed I have no idea how a paying advertiser would feel!!

I still haven't had my £50 BACS payment and no response from them. I'm annoyed because people are still getting Amazon vouchers why can't I get my money?! I'm seriously fed up now

What can I do guys?
