    After some days using the new Digital Spy boards:

    1) Initial impressions: It is horrid

    2) The extra stuff makes it too slow on dialup

    3) Final impression: It is horrid.


    Too "busy", too "slow" too "cluttered", unwanted popup info etc etc.

    Too "Tellytubby"

    Please, please, (grovels at feet of Great DeVore) Don't make Boards.ie like that!


    ( www.mediauk.com forums are a better direction)


    I use the "minimalist" here now and am getting VERY attached to it.

    So is Watty.

    p.s. Even on Broadband I don't like the new Digital Spy.

    My laptop is 1600 x 1200 and my Radio Shack PC 1280 x 1024. These are not entry level toy resolutions that should make a web site look cluttered.

    I told them this first, and got reply that they are looking at speed issue (the pages are too bloated, that is why it slow), and I can still login there, so I guess they arn't thin skinned!

    I tend to agree. It's not so much the clutter that annoys me - it's the fact that options like marking a particular forum as read are now relatively hidden. Let's not go down that road with boards.
    So is Watty.
    Communication with the watty-cave is still going I see:D

    Let's not get watty angry - he's running out of unripped shirts.

    Why is everyone agreeing with me all day today? Is the green flesh on chest showing or razer sharp knife blades sticking out of my fingers again?

    (How does Wolverine Type or go to Loo if he is angry?)
