    CompanyCheck's updated website doesn't work

    Any of you tried to use Company Check or Director Check since their latest update? It looks like they've gone the way of JobSwerve, and completely ruined what was once a valuable resource. It looks pretty, but it simply doesn't work any more for the vast majority of searches, including ones that I know worked before. They've also had a spate of stupid bugs (some of which have been fixed), including basic things like a JavaScript that constantly interrupted your typing when you were trying to enter the name of a company in the one and only field that's on their home page, taking the cursor to the start of the text repeatedly.

    Doesn't anybody bother testing their work and then getting someone else to test it before inflicting their 'genius' on the general public any more? If any more of these free websites inflict their painfully-crap 'kreatif' yet non-functional designs on me, I'm asking for my money back.

      CUK is on the far right. Make of that what you will, Kapitalist sellout.

        Yep - just tried it and the home page box is stupid as you say.
        Tried two company searches - 1st OK, 2nd errors.

        Site probably written by a one man band who works for food
        (or one of us who wants an extension....)

          If you click 'try again' it works.

            For the four searches I tried, five repetitions each of "try again" didn't help.

                Bah - and now it works. Must be three people using the site at once!
