WebSphere Portal, at its absolute worst.

It's the same thing with Facebook. Every time they make the slightest change I'm bombarded with people joining groups called "Bring bak th old Facebook!1!!" or something like that.

They're going to go mad when Timeline finally gets released

If we all thought like that, we'd still be on pointy sticks and eating mammoths.

I wouldn't mind trying a bit of mammoth...

Why must they keep changing it? Is this just change for change's sake? I don't like the way it looks now.

I used to think that the BBC website (especially the news part) was one of the best websites on the internet, and was a pleasure to use. The way they are going, they will end up spoiling it.

You sound like a user

Does anyone here actually use the BBC webtulipe for news anyway?

I find a more balanced view at Communists Weekly website.

Only use it for the weather. Switching to the MetOffice soon.

Please tell me you're not one of those sad people who spents all their time stuck in and endless cycle of upgrading various gadgets...

got to upgrade my iPod... got to upgrad my iPhone... got to upgrade my iPad... got to upgrade my broadband... got to upgrade my sky package... got to upgrade my tv... got to upgrade my car... got to upgrade my laptop... oh look, it's time to upgrade my iPod... rinse and repeat... and repeat... and repeat...

Get a life!

Not keen on the new look weather either - a step backwards; graphics are too big etc.

I was looking for the "don't like our new look, click here to return to our old look"

[NickFitz]

I'm not too keen on it

It looks even worse on an iPad than it does on the desktop.

I don't like the new style of the BBC website. All that white background makes it look like a few jpg's stuck on a piece of A4 plain paper! There was nothing wrong with it before this recent change.

I remember when they changed the weather page a year or two back, which annoyed me because the previous style was fine as it was.

I imagine the new "sparse" look is intended to match how web sites are typically displayed minimally on mobbies.

That argument would mean we'd all be using static HTML4 pages with marquee text effects.
