OLD TAB GONE

"Punters. Just a reminder old TAB website closed today. Yes there have been teething issues with new site, but it's got some great upsides"

According to Adam Hamilton....pity he never mentioned what they were

Cant use it wthout wearing sunglasses

Have spoken to plenty of customer-service people in TABCORP over the last few months. Alot of the time its been them calling me.Some mug called me 4 or 5 days ago and wanted me to answer a few general questions about service and the new TAB SITE. I said Id just about said all I want a dozen times already,but I decided to vent my anger once more. The only good thing that came out of the conversation was that I did finally get an answer to the one question Id asked a few times before with no real success. I asked him who they consulted before designing the new site.
He said GOLD AND PLATINUM account holders. To which I answered,"I thought as much"--Catering to .001% of account holders that either bet very little,but bet in big amounts,or system/computer,proffessionals that like to place 1000,s of bets per race using batch betting.
These punters wouldnt give a stuff about 99% of the junk on the site. So the fancy lights,and colourful junk was just thrown together at the last minute in the hope of satisfying the other 99.999% of punters.

Need to swear at these ****s IMO

site times me out all the time then takes about 30secs to refresh. fkn frustrating. one of the slowest websites in existance.

Whiskers, wouldnt the professionals want a fast site & not give a sh!t about the bells & whistles

Dont think they bet how we bet Kye.I know zero about batch betting. Never done it,dont know how to do it,and could not tell you if its quicker/better with this site than the old one. I do however know,that its a major part of turnover and im sure its been catered for at the expense of other stuff..I do know this,if they had consulted me,i would have kept the old site,and just added a couple of extra features at very little expense. ps--Gunna take a long time to get the hang of this site,but guess its here to stay.

things are weeeirrrdd alright. When the carnival was on and betty blue eyes froze colder than andrew bolts arctic........... the new scrote site and mobi scrote accepted my bets instantly !!! It's either a trick to get punters, sorry.. mugs, using mobile phones (which they can do even when they are whistling while they work ...how convenient ) instead of pc's or... the scrote is affecting betty's network in some way

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *@&#^%*d.

Try to have a bet and all you can see is "WIN & PLA", and they block the rest with infuriating blue tooltips.  You can't tell if you're about to have a fixed or un-fixed bet.

So you click on 'Show Tooltips', because you don't want it to show the tooltips, but then every time you do virtually anything they come back.

Now clicking on any of the fixed buttons doesn't do anything.  Clicking on any of the 'Tote Win' buttons doesn't seem to do anything either.  So you try to put a bet of $1 on, just to try and figure out which horse the site thinks you want to back, cause there's no other way of finding out.

So you have to reload the whole, miserable, interminably slow site again, just to get a clean shot at putting a bet on.  And of course that means the blue tooltips of bafflement are back to block as much information as they can too.  So you click to get rid of them and of course the rest of the buttons start to not work again either.

Eventually you can only say - screw this, and go bet somewhere else.  Half an hour later I'm still furious at this total joke of a site.

i am a gold tab customer, and no one consulted me.

this new site is an absolute joke

i dont normally go to betfair forum, but as the old sites closed today am forced to use (should i say try to use) the new tab site

i came here to the forum to see if it was just me. clearly it isnt

the one thing i really dont get is how the new web page, doesnt fit on my screen, in one go. its like deliberatley sitting behind a pole at a sporting event

i wonder if tabcorp understadn this may drive people to use the their tote products thru 3rd party sites, and thus, pay them commissions as they are driving their customers away.

simply amazing

Just in case anyone who has an old computer  is still using the normal google - switch to google chrome and tab site and other sites go better

57 thousand what vk
its alrite for you computor nerds wif nothing better to do
imo

These TAB clowns really didn't think this through - have a read of any of the racing forums around & there is a thread with multiple complaints from users of these new sites.

Whatever genius's decided that Flash was the way to go with these sites need to be put out of work, & add to that one needs to be a programmer to be able to access XML feeds & geez what a shamozzle.

Closed my 15 year old Vic Tab account in protest yesterday, not that they will give a ****, but enoughs enough.

a fujitsu by any chance village

have to say I am living with the new site and finding it not too bad now

only gave up on the old one when i had to

Terrible - If i get kicked out due to inactivity it is impossible for me to log in again without turning off my computer and starting again.
And where is the refresh button?

It freezes so often that I now open it via a different browser than my other sites, so when I have to "refresh my internet browser" I don't have to close all sites.

Its a dog.

When I drop into my local TAB (they have three screens)to check on a result,either one or two won't work
and it takes about a minute to get the result you require.This compares to less than
10 seconds previously.If you don't use that screen for atleast 5 minutes you have to start the whole process over again.A REAL PAIN.I can only imagine this is repeated throughout other TAB's.

*YOUR SESSION HAS TIMED OUT*

Tossed out my cookies--Problem fixed

nice rort by the developers

yeh it has that feel about it, doesn't it? they would come in with the speel about a new site being able to do this & that, flash is the future & what all punters must surely want, blah blah blah..

& it was bought hook, line & sinker

major FAIL
