Loz Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Really, they new 'improved' look of the Guardian website is terrible. Huge text, strange pointless links, and loads of wasted space. Less info per page. Big sodding useless pictures. All the news seems to be hidden. I can't find a bloody thing. Has no one learnt anything from the Windows 8 debacle?Anyone read The Indy website? Is that any better? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53861-so-farewell-then-gruiniad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraferJack Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 You've only just seen the changes today? It's been in beta for months and months (which anyone could switch between)like any redesign people moan but you get used to it and then wouldn't go back Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53861-so-farewell-then-gruiniad/#findComment-818229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosieH Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Does Private Eye say Gruniad? I've always read it as Grauniad.I thought Loz was getting all meta.

How embarrassing. http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/spelling-and-word-lists/misspelled.html?misspell - What is more embarrassing than to misspell the name of the problem? Just remember that it is mis + spell and that will spell you the worry about spelling "misspell."

RosieH Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Cross-post.Maybe he WAS getting all meta. I like the idea.And yeah, I hate the re-design. But I hate the Indy website too - those f*king adverts chasing you all over the screen make me want to vote Tory and get the left-wing banned.

I turned it off one day and was shocked at the big ad at the top of the Guardian website. I'd never seen it before.I don't have a style issue with the Guardian redesign (though it is ugly), more that there is not enough info per page - the front page of the site being a case in question. Cricinfo is going the same way, though not quite as bad.

Cricinfo is going> the same way, though not quite as bad.Yeah, the reason I hate the re-design is you don't get the news. You get three items of news, and then Maureen f***king Lipman saying she's going to leave the country.Also, I'm quite judgemental. I like to judge the editors each day by the order they've run the stories (fracking v. Boko Haram; Benedict Cumberbatch a racist v. Church of Scientology - which is more worthy of our time and consideration). They've ruined everything.

Applespider Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The Graudian redesign has grown on me although if it's a long article, it does feel ridiculously long now. I do like the revised blog post page which makes it much easier to see what's new for any particular day.
