bluehobbit Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 if its going to stay like this its woeful - ifs going to be tweaked and worked on then its OK - it does need work doing on it and the default latin text removing. I was trying to find some info on it on saturday only to be greeted with nothing relevant - not ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 It's dire. Squad list incomplete. No player profiles or pics for all. Stories that wrap one sentence into a second page for no good reason. Menu links that wrap on some screens and don't render properly on others. Typos. Disorganised, chaotic layout. Vaguely amateurish background. No working mobile version. Stories sometimes don't appear even after refreshing and clearing the cache. I don't blame the club entirely, but once this was in the pipeline someone should have been adding and polishing content, testing and generally working on it fast. Maybe they are and we'll see improvements soon but at the moment it's clearly incomplete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardlelatic Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Pardon my French but it's :censored:e!! Nothing the club can do anything About but How the hell the a new website can be rolled out so close to the football season with such a major change in platform and scripting I don't know ! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I await the first poster claiming we are bashing the club/web providers again..... There again surely no one can back this rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looks to me whoever contracted this design has gone for the cheapest tender, no matter what the quality or what fans may think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics like most football league clubs appear to have little option but to accept it. Edited August 9, 2012 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoafc Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Spot today's deliberate mistake on the OS..........in the story about paying only a small fee ( £13,640 ) to agents, it's actually reported in the first paragraph as being £123,640................you couldn't make it up!...............Dreadful.

It really is absolute garbage. I use numerous websites in the course of work and this, without doubt, is one of the worst I have ever seen. It's obviously still not complete, but how long does it take? My step son set up a far more involved site than this for my wife's business a few years ago and completed the job in a matter of days. Worked perfectly too with hardly any tweaks. I have used the OS extensively for years, but now find I can't be bothered ploughing through the rubbish.

opinions4u Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The roll out at this time is crazy. I'd agree that June would have been a better month. But now is a lot better than any time from September to May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 At least the look of the website now fits with the spelling on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 To balance my earlier criticism, I would happily volunteer my time to help - although having a day job means I'd have to do it remotely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
