I don’t like it. I tried this morning to look at the second race at Lingfield and have given up because its so slow. Not particularly good to look at either. I would have considered paying for the old site but this rubbish, absolutely not.
I don’t know if its slow or not I CAN’T GET ON IT at all

Somewhere near the top is todays date. Click that and a calendar will open, change the date to tomorrows and as if by magic tomorrows cards are available.All a bit pointless when all that is needed is the words‘Future Cards" to click. We can all understand that.
Maybe we should all ask the RP for an instruction manual.
where are the past results other than the front page listed ones for yesterday? How do I get onto the database??
Welcome to the forum JC…
To get past results click on the red arrow next to today’s date and choose the date for the meeting/race your after…sit back make a cup and after about five mins they should appear.
Use the search function to get into the database…this does seem a bit faster.
On a seperate issue, who are they expecting to pay for this? RPR’s and TS’s are ****, why would anyone pay for these and how many people do they think are going to sit in front of their computer all day waiting for the live reporter to tell us some trainer thinks so and so about some horse?
Hmmm, just logged on today and it has all changed. I know it takes a while to get used to a revamped site but it runs like a three legged donkey so it makes it barely useable. I am using firefox, is it just me? What do others think?
It just crashed my browser, looks like back to the SL for me I think.
Total crap here and I’m using Firefox as well.
Is it any better on Explorer?
Colin
Nope just as crap on IE.
Thanks Pompete.
To no avail as apparently the server cannot be contacted.
Brilliant……..Finally got the home page loaded, so I clicked on Login, all the screen goes grey except for a narrow strip that looks like a revolving barber shop pole. None of the navigation then works.
If this was a new site that I didn’t need, I’d never bother again.
A shambles.
But I must be doing something wrong, because the four page pullout in todays paper is full of glowing praise for the new site, like –
"Hello, one word to describe this – wow! Excellent stuff" Tom Whitley
I think that might be three words Tom ……..
Oh dear. Its a really bad example of customer service. I know for a fact they received many letters and mails asking them to leave the .co.uk site going till the other settled down and they sent the same email response (which is a sign they didnt read the comments) to all.
The 4 page pullout with nothing but comments of praise is an insult to my intelligence, i have browsed several places and spoke to many people and there are very very few words of support for the new site.
There are alternatives and i will use them. So they have lost at least 1 customer, my instincts tell me they will lose a lot more and will regret assuming people will remain loyal to them as they are the only option.
Im baffled as to why they changed it. Had they charged for the old one, im certain at least a third of users would happily have paid a tenner a month or whatever. Thats a lot of revenue if thats all their after.
Even when id does work, the layout all rings of a bunch of IT geeks who know nothing about horse racing and where you may wish to go next.
Im also going for a walk to calm down!
thebettingsite.racingpost.co.uk is working at its usual blinding speed, what more do you need
oops..I see the form on the bettingsite links to the new dot com site…sorry ’bout that

Yes
Cant even get on it now, but then again, why would i want to?
I am staggered that anyone other than Stevie Wonder would think that the new layout of data is an improvement on how it was before
Is this their way of driving punters towards buying the paper more and using the site less?

That’s the only reason I can think of for replacing what was an excellent site with this clumsy, slow user-unfriendly piece of c**p! Have the powers-that- be at RP never heard the expression "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it"?
I can’t even log in at the moment no matter which browser I use. If they seriously intend bringing in charges to use this site they are going to have very few takers. By the way, I read elsewhere that the guy responsible for designing this new site also worked on the Friends Reunited website. I don’t know if that tells anyone anything as I have never used that site.

This is pathetic, no comparisons for the results which is doing me out of work and money. The site is as slow as fook and has no in running commentary.
What is all this grey ultra futuristic nonsence…. why couldn’t they have kept the core (cards/results) and just built around it more.
i’d rather pay for the old one then the new one!!!!
