The new OS layout?

[bocadillo]

Does anybody else think that they just gathered up all the bits of the OS, shuffled them a few times, threw them on the floor - and then re-arranged them exactly as they fell?

What a mess!

Horrible.

Looks like they're doing it with all the PTV sites, not all of them have been changed yet though.

it looks naff but it does seem more user friendly IMO - the drop down menus when you hover over something for instance..

My exam tomorow is about website strategies and e marketing, i come on here for one moment and everyone is analysing a ****ing web site, exactly what ive just been doing for 5 hours


P.S. its utter ****ing shite

Awful, so busy and far too much to look at on the home page. Worse thing is it was probably some "professional" expensive bunch of cowboys that did it

 

[Durham Fox]

WTF? awful

I've seen some crap websites in my time, but that has to rate amongst the worse.

Except for the pic of PT, I'm inclined to agree with you. Personally, one of my favourites was the old forfoxsake site. Now I just use this one and newsnow.

I hate that advertisment in the middle of the text. Are you really supposed to stop reading and scroll down to continue? Shocking.

That's because people don't notice normal ads any more, so they're finding more and more intrusive way of adding them to the site.

I am with you on that one.

That is how the site was the first time I ever had Internet access, loved it.

 

[fox58]

is just me or does the site appear to be a lot slower than it was

The amount of text on the front page (including stuff like javascript etc) is around twice what it used to be, and with the increased number of images, flash etc (mainly for ads) and other clutter, it will slow the site down. There's a lot more crap on the article pages too.
All aimed at making money, rather than making the site better or easier to use.
