Match reports aren't on one page, you click page 2 and it just extends the article rather than load a new page! Why not just put it on one page? | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

Don't think it's anything the clubs can do if the site providers are insisting everyone changes over. They can make sure they email problems and complaints back to them regularly though. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

New OS design this Afternoon on 21:00 - Jul 31 with 5582 views | dribdrab | That is utter shite, or rather it was. Mine seems to have just reverted the the old pile of shite website. A basic pre-requisite for a website is that it works, and works quickly, especially if the club is selling stuff through the site. Surely every club that has this pile of bollox will have complained. I really can't believe that you can take a pile of shite and make it more shite! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

New OS design this Afternoon on 21:05 - Jul 31 with 5560 views | 442Dale | It also appears to have started from fresh. Any old pages saved in bookmarks just go to the Homepage Of Doom (tm) Views from Notts County fans: http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=402&fid=17&sty=2&act=1&mid=2114364119 This post is quite informative: Posted 30 Jul 2012 09:22 re: The Official Site - Again Morning folks, Just to clarify a couple of things, the new website, as with the previous incarnation, is supplied by Football League interactive (FLi) to all member clubs who sign up to their service, which is the vast majority. The deadline for migration to the new design is July 31st (tomorrow), so all clubs should be live with the new look site by the end of this week. As part of the design process, we were presented with three design options, of which we were asked to choose one. We felt that the design that we have chosen was the best of the three on offer, a decision backed by the fact that the vast majority of clubs have also opted for this option. There is no possibility of the site returning to the previous design, as this was designed by a company called Perform, whose contract with FLi, for the official sites specifically (they still do the Magpie Player site), is now expired and the new design is provided by a new supplier, Sapient Nitro. Rest assured, I am fully aware that there has been a lot of negative feedback and I have been relaying this back to FLi as often as possible, along with a number of complaints that I had regarding the functionality of the website, both front end and back office. I can assure you that they are working on improving all areas of the site and we have seen a great deal of progress already, more specifically in the back office where we input stories, create pages, etc, but we have also been assured that developments will be made to make the site more accessible and quicker. Sapient Nitro and FLi are actually currently in the process of monitoring access speeds and are due to report back to us with their findings shortly, so we will look to feedback any information we get from this. We have also been told that the mobile website will be launched in September, making the site much more accessible on phones and mobile devices. Again, this isn't ideal, but it is some comfort that we can expect an improvement in the near future. As I say, a lot of the transfer has been a great source of frustration for us, as a media team, especially as we put so much work into getting the new site ready within the new template, but work is on-going and we will continue to feedback to FLi with our concerns and of course your own, to try and develop the site to be much more user friendly and engaging. We would have liked a lot of these issues to have been tested and rectified before we went live with the new site, but this was out of our hands and now all we can do is work with FLi and Sapient Nitro as best we can to get the site up to scratch as soon as possible. The pagination of stories has proved to be a major topic for discussion amongst club media staff, with pretty much everyone wanting this changing, so we will continue to push for this to be altered or at the very least improved as it does seem to be universally unpopular. There is always going to be a period of transition with new website designs though and the new look will always take a little getting used to, but as I say, we had hoped that this would have gone more smoothly on this occasion. I will raise the issue of identifying Magpie Player stories on the front page with FLi this morning and let you know as soon as I hear anything on that. Thanks JD ------------------------ And that's the best one of three designs?!? [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

It'd look a hell of a lot better if the different section weren't black on a black background. Looks unfinished (which I guess it probably is) | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

why is it that some clubs are still using the old design, if the people who made those, contracts have run out, how many use this new design in the FL. | ![](/images/avatars/1164.gif) |

Not having a match report on from last night's game is a great start. And it's reverted back to the old design on my phone. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |
