What a load of absolute shite, they managed to make the homepage worse, now this!

3 column layout, news ticker, reduced masthead footprint, right rail accordion.
It's like they got a junior developer with no design eye to apply newer concepts.
It's bad, no two ways about it. Still relaunches are hard to judge until you give the site time to strip out the bad ideas and focus on the good ones.

Yeah the more I look at it, conceptually it is fine.
From a design perspective, it's a bomb site.

Most things are in more or less the same place, which is a good thing at least.
But everything's far too brightly coloured and the images are too big. They've tried to make it more visual, but now there is just far too much going on on the screen.
Still, no where near as bad as the new homepage. It was introduced a couple of months ago now and I still can't find my way around it properly and find all the things that I used to see on the homepage. Their old homepage gave you all the different areas (News, Sport, Entertainment, Technology, etc) and the top few stories in each... perfect for what I wanted it for (mainly looking for interesting, non-depressing news to read at lunch time). Now I can't find anywhere on their site that offers me all of that.
I filled out the customer survey for the new Sport page as soon as I saw it on the site.

You know you can customise what you see on the main homepage don't you?

I'll have a look when I'm next on a non-phone browser. I'm sure you could do it a year or so ago, maybe it's changed.

A year ago it was the old homepage. It is the new homepage which requires both vertical and horizontal scrolling that it is under discussion. It's a horror.

Ah. To be honest I commented without looking. I only use the sports homepage.
