Clifford Nelson Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 It must mean something that my first click is now for the Echo where the main news can be read quickly and then follow up with the OS to get more details if necessary. A complete turn around from before. No, I'm not getting used to it, it is just too poor for that. So poor indeed so that the club ought to look into an immediate re-designer. The contracts involved in this between the club, the league and the provider couldn't allow for such a poor product to have to be accepted.

niceandfriendly Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 The new website makes me want to cry. Great news for this site though as I bet a lot come on here to check the news now rather than go on the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsaint Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 Completely unreadable for me yesterday on my iPad , it needs sorting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperm_john Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 I agree, its a nightmare to read anything, I used to go there to read all the player interviews after signings, now I cant be bothered, the saints player advert plays havoc with reading the O/S on my phone too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 It's never going to be very good I'm afraid, or even as easily usable as its predecessor, but I've found it does work a bit better on the Firefox web browser - as opposed to crappy old Internet Explorer for example. Just my personal experience - Microsoft fans need not take offence ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian lord Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 It is almost as bad as the revamped BBC sport site. And that is saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my personal experience - Microsoft fans need not take offence ! I read it on Firefox on a laptop - I think you're just being kind! I've just contacted a visually impaired friend who is _very_ computer literate for her views as sites need to be accessible under the Discrimination Act provisions. I'll let you know her opinions, and it might be interesting to ask Peter White the broadcaster as he's a Saints fan. It's bad enough for us: a graphic, unwieldy, incoherent mess which puts you off browsing. No doubt if you have something specific to look at you can eventually get there but the whole experience puts you off doing anything more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawillwill Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 It is almost as bad as the revamped BBC sport site. And that is saying something. To be fair the BBC Sport website had a few glitches when it was first unveiled, but it is by far the best place on the internet for sports news now. The Olympic coverage in particular was incredible. To compare it to Saints OS is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good summary, it breaks virtually all the usability rules for web sites. The designer has clearly never read or understood the classic website guide "Don't make me think!"

The Olympic coverage in particular was incredible. To compare it to Saints OS is ridiculous. Disagree - visually it is utterly repellent, and a navigation nightmare. Content is all videos - virtually nothing to read, no analysis, whereas before it was a font of intelligent, in-depth background reporting articles and comment. They are just saving £ by cutting and pasting TV footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the clubs do but they're stuck with it for now, unless they and us want to pay a massive fee to get out of the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 (edited) New site is a step backwards. Rubbish. Boo Edited 2 September, 2012 by Kingsbridge Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 It's pretty much unusable on an iphone, so I've given up. Just like I gave up watching video news stories as they are invariablt preceded with 15 seconds of adverts. Marketers are ****ing the world up.
