ciderhead_sumpter Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Unbelievably abysmal! Can't believe that is an update, it's just a blank white page with text... Think I could actually do a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikep Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 cant view the complete fixture list?! someone help before i chuck my laptop through the wall.... Same here. Tried three times and have given up. Think I will go away and hope Tomarse can point us all in the correct direction as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Don't have a pc so my mobile browser seems to be displaying the same old site. I guess the mobile version might be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasherpudding Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I have been abroad for a few days and come back to find this new website, it is truly awful. Those who suggest it has been designed by a 5 year old clearly insult 5 year olds. The old site was not great but it was reasonably organised and you could find stuff. Just try to click on the fixure list, it does not exist, it only shows the next game!! True rubbish. The City people mush have been asleep when signing this rubbish off, they are as much to blame. They will hope to pay for this by earning advertising, but this will backfire because there is no point using the site. I would like club management to be honest (for onece) and face upi to fans and apologise and arrange a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 And why does it HAVE to change? Why change something from great to shite? what kind of backwards thinking is that?! Its the way of the world my friend. Change for the sake of it to apparently keep moving 'forward', keep the contractor 'ahead' of his rival ALL without considering the primary goal; to keep the majority of fans happy. I thought Adam B said we are not going to change it because the club feel the fans like it as it is? If not then so much for fan power, NOT.

havanatopia Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Looks similar to the old for me except for those cheap and nasty little auto load videos and the fact that this happens when you click a story:- Sorry, the page you are trying to reach may have expired, or been moved. If you have followed a link from your bookmarks, please relocate the page and remember to update your booksmarks. CITY: YOU HAVE DROPPED THE BALL AND CLANGER SUCCUMBING TO THIS CARP.

Lew-T Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The posts on this thread are a bit over the top in my eyes. It's a website?

StGeorge Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I don't usually moan at progress/change but backward step I'm afraid. Couple of examples as to why 1. News page - now we have to look all over the page around the pictures to read 5 headlines - its a news page not a comic book - we all know what Marv looks like so why does it need a massive picture of him above the headline? 2. Buying some tickets for Burnley game. - All you get on the page above the fold as it were, is a huge picture of the Burnley badge and have to scroll down for the info you need. I could go on, but there's not much point as I very much doubt anyone will either respond to points raised on this forum or change anything. Oh, and please try and get rid of tacky video advertising - Disney on ice is particularly bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Your missing the point. They cannot change it That's perhaps the simple answer. The new sites (in technical standards) are an absolute abomination. They are not fit for purpose. Some club should stand up and do the right thing and take actions to terminate the contract for it is not serving its purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 To be honest I was expecting something much worse based on the comments on here.

Always Believesham Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The posts on this thread are a bit over the top in my eyes. It's a website? Who cares what it looks like aslong it provides the info needed for the fans that's all that matters. I agree, it isn't the club's fault they have to succumb. I think, although content is "all over the place" it has just been moved As the site settles down, as we, the users get used to it, we will see the benifits It has modernised, the old website looked very 2005 IMO Things change and have to move on, bear in mind the site administrators have to get used to it too I'm backing the club doing the best they can on this, trying to make it work for the fans The company hosting it, although more up to date, the page does look scrambled and I don't like roll over menus It takes less time to load than a flash website (I think thats the term), most interactive pages take a good half a minute for me on all browsers/computers, these websites don't. It's also probably very difficult to hack into which will in turn save the club money should this happen. I don't 100% like the upgrade but we're just going to have to get used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Unless I'm mistaken the DNS is pointing back to the old site again. It's changed back from an hour or so ago for me... either that or propagation is taking an age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Van Ryn Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 You'd think the world had ended, the club had merged with the gas, and the players slept with their mums based on some people's reaction to something as trivial as a website. Get a 'kin grip. It's not great but it is what it is, and its better than others using the same enforced template. Put it in perspective and deal with it.

Tom, I agree with you, but there do seem to be some teething difficulties since the change, I can't view the league table properly for example. It does feel like some of the items haven't been properly tested. They wouldn't be the first designers to miss the obvious whilst adding new bells and whistles like "bcfc tweets", Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
