    Anyone checked out the BBC Sport website this morning? They've relaunched with a new layout/design. Looks very cheap and tacky IMO.

    Any opinions?

    Everytime a website changes people complain and give out about it, saying it's not as good as the old one. Give it a week or two and you'll forget it was ever anyway different.

    Apart from Gawker. That really was a mess.

    Cleaner and more modern looking than the old one which is good. Not a fan of the yellow though.

    Don't like it.

    Sure I'll get used to it in a week or two though and then the old one will seem weird

    Bar the excessive yellow, I don't mind it at all. Would be nice if they allowed individual users to customise what they'd like to appear on the home screen and to have an option to change the colour scheme to your desired colour.

    It's fine. Main links at the top are handy. The new table is good with nice features.

    Don't like it, especially the fixtures section, they used to clearly separate the game days but now there all on top of each other.

    I hate it. Everything's wrong. I can't find anything. I hate the colour. I hate the layout. I'll never ever like it again.

    But give me a few days ;)

    It's grand, just takes a little while to adjust to.

    It's actually grand. Speaking as a web designer though it's a shame they didn't try for a responsive design. But the way they've set it up now seems to indicate they'll be doing it at some point in the future.

    Only things that irk are the banner changing from black to white at the top, and the way lead images in certain articles get cut.

    For example, in this article. It looks really, really bad, and ruins every photograph.

    Nice enough IMO.

    Now if only someone would drag the RTE version into the 21st century....cutbacks!!!

    It's almost as horrible looking as the new Ireland jersey and it made me want to punch a puppy.

    I don't see what the problem is!

    BBC Sport was always yellow and now it's just gone into the same format as the rest of the BBC site.

    Like how it uses full width of screen now.

    Just give it a while and people will get used to it.

    Remember nothing lasts forever except change!

    Ah looks terrible messy to me, all over the place, too bright.....my boss might catch me on the site now :(

    Any BBC site was ruined ever since they got rid of 606 the site just has nothing more to offer than any other site now.

    Agree completely, it looks cack now and it was perfectly fine before they changed it. All it needed was a freshening up.

    I actually thought I was missing a CSS file or something because it looks so ****, but obviously not.

    It doesn't. It's a fixed width design (which is really bad practice imo).

    Overall I find it more tabloidy, trying to grab you with the latest headlines, but more difficult to find something you actually need.

    Not to mention the colours are just wrong from a usability perspective, the yellow is too bright but the green is too pale. The yellow distracts you, whereas the pale headlines make it actually difficult to make out the content on the page.

    That f***ing video that kept playing every time you refreshed the live text updates tonight was beyond annoying.
