New BBC website

Does anyone else find the new BBC news website worse than the old one? I wish they'd never changed it! But I gather it's something to do with people who use tablets and phones to access it. (I don't have either of those.)

Re: New BBC website

Just had a look and it does seem odd to me, i checked out the Football page and it seems to be the same, as does the weather about the only two sections i bother with.

I don't like it - especially the busines news. Not so easy to find out share prices & movements.

I do use it on my ipad and phone, and it is now so slow to update, no idea why it had to change.

Re: New BBC website

I stopped using the BBC news page years ago when they changed it then.
I still use the Football which is good.
I use MSN UK for my news. Managed to get used to using it and finding
what I want from the news.
I have moaned a lot over the years (to myself ) about the changes they
make on the net. They always say it is for the best. Just wondered
best for who as I have generally loved the original.

Re: New BBC website
