Wardie Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Watch the video on the site with Dan Walker pretty much explains how everything works with the new layout. then you can quit with your moaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Bah, I HATE change! You should work for Bristol Council... Personally I like it, a lot more clean cut and I think the only reason why people complain is because they don't know where everything is yet.

WarksRed Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Watch the video on the site with Dan Walker pretty much explains how everything works with the new layout. then you can quit with your moaning OK ..... i'm still moaning, ....... heres my page link http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/ .... can't see a Dan Walker link either ( maybe I need my eyes testing as well )....... and at the bottom if you click the help & FAQ link you get ......... 404 page not found. anyway, has anyone found the Predictor yet ???????

Red-Robbo Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 OK ..... i'm still moaning, ....... heres my page link http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/ .... can't see a Dan Walker link either ( maybe I need my eyes testing as well )....... and at the bottom if you click the help & FAQ link you get ......... 404 page not found. anyway, has anyone found the Predictor yet ??????? Top right, one down (for the site explainer). My initial thoughts are the home page is a bit over fussy (and I don't like the twitter box - why do you want to read tweets about sports you don't follow?) but I actually prefer the new 'club' pages. Cleaner, better laid-out and with more content. One casualty does appear to have been the football predictor though. Maybe it will emerge near the end of the season.

PhilC Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Watch the video on the site with Dan Walker pretty much explains how everything works with the new layout. then you can quit with your moaning But Dan Walker shouldn't have to explain it; It should just work??

Craven arms Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I don't know what your moaning about,I think it looks good very refreshing and easier to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodle Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/16772585 Its a really good clean up. You can get detailed player stats and detailed league form stats! Far better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 But Dan Walker shouldn't have to explain it; It should just work?? Works fine for me, and an improvement on what was there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 tried looking at the championship league table on the main football page earlier and it would not go on there. I thought it was my laptop playing up so tried it at work as well. same problem. works now though.

Claverham_Red Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Don't usually like changes to websites but really like the new look straightaway. Clearly they're trying to best use all of the space, whereas before it was all justified centrally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 The content and info on there is improved and i like that. To look at its a bit of a cluster**** tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's a completely spastic bit of web design done by a team with no understanding of how to make it easy to find what you're looking for who have moved stuff around for the sake of it. This sort of hectic layout was popular for a few months about five years ago, all the grown ups moved beyond it very quickly for good reasons. Pity taxpayers' money gets wasted like that.

havanatopia Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 FROM BBC DAN WALKER SECTION ON THE NEW SITE:- We will not be relaunching the Squad Selector or Football Predictor features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 As Nibor says... this is or rather was the sort of design you used to see for a flash in the pan moment a few years back and in fact still forms the basis for launching an information web site with e-commerce because the massive variety of info on the front page helps with search engines.. not that BBC ever had a problem with that. Unless the BBC is going to start selling stuff ala' e-commerce this indeed is a hectic, haphazard and rather stupid way of asking a licence payer to 'find' information in a logical way... logic not being a strong point with this site. it may look a little better but it is far from practical. Still... no doubt it will be tweaked and we will get used to it or rather have too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Not sure yet but one change I rather like is the fact it now shows Live Scores from more Leagues- it didn't before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if you're viewing from "Kew-ball" you'll be seeing the international version of the site, which has adverts. Christ alone knows how cluttered that front page looks!

AndySnapper Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Dreadful mess! Same as their local radio coverage of Bristol City matches. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" comes to mind Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Rollason Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 well QED - why should you need a video tutorial to work-out how to use a web page!!! Abso bloody lutely my friend, nail on head, why should you need a TUTORIAL to find yr way around a sports site? Did the online complaint thing, looks an utter shambles, incoherent , cluttered... just NO.... Not against change at all btw, just think its pants.

PhilC Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 ...and of course it means the end of the old http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/default.stm link for the championship, eng_div_2 for L1, eng_div_3 for league 2 links, even though that format is now years old...

Gibbs Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Looking at the current match stats for West Ham vs Millwall, so much better. They have individual player stats now (although I don't know how to access them outside them being a scorer...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
