New USBC Website
« on: August 03, 2009, 12:57:20 PM »
That is easily one of the worst website redsigns in the history of the internet.  As a USBC member, I'm embarrased by the site and think the boneheads responsible should be fired.

Navigation is horrible...in fact, where is it?  Click on the Clara Guerrero story and it pops a new page...pop-ups...really?

What's wrong with it? Several things right off the bat.

1. At work we have IE6 as the only browser that can be used. Go to bowl.com and it says "please upgrade your browser" with X type links to Opera,IE,Firfox,and Safari.

2. at home I use only Opera. only way to get it to display properly is to enable javascript,java,cookies,and flash.

3. just like the old site you have to scroll down way too much.

4. there is no site map.

there is a positive and that is it looks pretty.

I hate IE anything.  I'm using Seamonkey.  I have to use the bowl.com site and will use it even less now.  It's not finished but nowhere near as friendly.

Wow, I can't see anything there now with my older version of IE other than the page that says to upgrade my browser.

Using Google Chrome it kind of works but I noticed that all of the league standing sheets are now gone.  Apparently the upgrade erased all of the older sheets.

I was, key word, using IE6 as well, hated 7, had to upgrade to 8 now I can see the page. What a pile of crap ! I'm sure someone likes it but many things are gone, or I can't find them, it's just not something i'll use any longer.

They aren't done with the upgrades yet.  The membership lookup feature is in the top right pull down bar.  I would imagine the old sheets will be added back on alot of the info says it is still being updated.
