Glad to see that you are still encouraging user comments!
I can't believe that Ben Gallop has closed his Sports Website blog. It was the only forum allowing BBC website users to comment on the disastrous website changes, highlight the biggest problems, and give the BBC systems staff some constructive help regarding what needs putting right.
The nature of the upgrade, the dismissive way in which user concern has been handled, and the inability of the Sports Editor to engage with his public, has done the BBC a huge amount of damage. As I'm sure you're aware, all sports coverage has been affected, football especially. Fixtures, results, live text, videprinter, site navigation...the list is endless. And I'm lucky to be colour-blind as the yellow sounds dreadful. Although of course I can't interpret the team form code; what's wrong with the old WDL rather than colour bars?
Sorry to go OT on this blog but what do you think of the new website?
