New BBC Sport Website

Agreed, very poor site.

I agree the new fixtures and results layout is difficult to check and I used to watch the "Videoprinter" updating the scores every two minutes but on the new format I cannot find it.
Does anybody know if it's still on there.

It's a load of rubbish, hard to navigate.

I couldn't agree more. New site is far too busy. Every thing you want to get to on a regular basis is now at least an extra click away.
I do not remember ever being canvassed about how well or bad the original site worked, yet they still found the need to change it. Why?
They had this new format running as a 'beta' site for about three days then changed it all over without any user consultation.
Do they change things just to keep the web developers in a job? Well BBC, if you are looking at any more savings for your organisation then please look no further than your web team.
Get it back to how it was, easy and simple.

The worst thing is the live update system. Last week I was keeping track of the F1 testing throughout the day. You'll go onto the live update page, have a read through then you'll go onto another website / leave the computer for a while etc. When you click back onto the BBC live update tab, all the updates pile through one after the other and the page spends 30 seconds jumping downwards while all the updates appear. It's even worse with the live football scores....

Well lets be honest it started going downhill when it closed 606 down!

Oh aye, the yellow is awful!



Cerise would have been so much better?

It would match Peacock Dreams eyes after a night on the Lambrusco!! (Somebody told me anyway)

The Videprinter is still there BUT it does not seem to update automatically. If you press F5 it does.

Try it out Tuesday evening

Thanks Penshawdave, Where abouts on the page is the videoprinter, I must be blind as I cannot see it?

I have tried that as well...its good BUT

I prefer my familiar BBC old Vidiprinter where it just rolls in all the latest results/scorers etc

It can be found easily by the following:


Go to BBC Football Page.

Click on the Search the BBC, type in vidiprinter.

If you click on the Football Live Scores under the heading Editors Choice that also takes you to the following:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/live_videprinter/default.stm


Or just Copy and Paste the above link onto your address panel at top.


I usually just save the most used pages in my Favourites folder.
