Reflections on TV.com V3.0
by TheOldBill on Comments
Maybe it's just me. I don't hate the white. I will get used to navigating the new forums. I'm impressed that the site offers a reasonable listings service for non-U.S. viewers who don't have access to a listings site. I simply HATE the cheesiness and the illiteracy, whether deliberately yoof/edgy or written by morons who don't know any better. I can see that this is going to be a slog for staff, given that the generally hostile reaction to some of the changes has swamped some of the observations about damage done to the site useability and functionality. We could have - we did - predict all this before the launch, even though "we asked for it", because we've been here before. Version 2.0, the "improved" submission process... Every time that the developers are let loose on the site, it's an unmitigated disaster. We are still struggling with the fallout from the July 2007 changes. If it ain't working... fix it. Don't upgrade the cosmetics and break it some more.
