New R3 website schedule layout

Nice try, Bryn, but I don't think that the British Broadcasting Company is that sophisticated!

Ooh, yes (re Private Passions: they seem to think we don't know Clive Revel Horwood was the winner of the Maestro Opera comp).

Thanks FF for that spoiler....

Seems pointless to me -especially as the full information loads when you go to the page, but immediately disappears.

The whole re-design contradicts the basic tenet of information management & web design - clarity & ease of use, with the fewest number of clicks to get the information you want. At a stretch it could be said that the increased font size on the daily schedule is a nod towards accessibilty for people with visual impairments, but I doubt it that's why it was done

Well said, Flosshilde. I agree 100% with you. I ended up zooming in on my browser to make it more visually appealing and to compress all that redundant white space but unfortunately can;t seem to find a way to make it site-specific. Absolutely pointless to comment to the BBC as one will only get the standard reply 'We Know Best'.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that they stick special cookies on our system that inhibits the we box that pops up asking you to comment on the new design...but maybe that is taking conspiracy theory too far.
