The worst ever up(down)grade to the Betfair interface since it's inception. What on earth are these people thinking of when designing this cr@p?

It's funny, Mrs Shapeshifter works at a law firm that is handling several of the new tech companies emerging in London and Europe.
She has introduced me to several of these companies and their platforms are incredible and innovative. I'm learning every day on how to make an interface user friendly. I am working right now with my Canadian based brother on a sports-related site that will 'revolutionize' the way punters research sports. I'm really proud on how people I have tested it with, both here and Canada, can sit down and within minutes feel comfortable with it and, within thirty minutes, are sailing through the site using its potential. The engineering has been difficult but the platform presentation was really, really easy. I can't figure out betfair's thinking. They would have a team that would have more tools and abilities than me at my MDF desk and my brother in his flat in Vancouver. And Muqbil, I hope you are well and happy in your world. |

Unfortunately SHAPESHIFTER this is why Betfair will never again be the great site it once was.The future is bright the future is Purple.

I am fine thanks, SHAPESHIFTER. Hope you are too? Not enough hours in the day for posting, other than the occasional moan!

Muqbil, I remain a 'survivor' in the world of the exchanges. But other ventures make my grey matter move more positively than the world of pixels that BF offers.
Right now working on producing some products that will help punters in their quest for positive results. Not as challenging as we think since the information is there. Just a matter of offering the depth required to research a play. |

Beta is worse than a virus! It's really starting to wind me up now! I keep opting out and it keeps forcing itself back! How can I get rid of it?! Looks like I'll be emigrating to Purple at this rate!

My pal who hardly ever bets, left some money in his account and Betfair charged him a fiver for not using it.
So he bet all that was left on England to win on Sunday. When he told me about it he remarked what an awkward site to use Betfair had become. He said it used to be so straightforward and now it’s just a mess Classic, but I preferred the one before that. |

I have just given it a fair try. The scrolling is insane. Someone must have been on crack when they thought that was an improvement. In markets with many runners I now can't see the runners at the bottom of the list and my bets at the same time. And I can't believe they think listing matched bets in a different order than the runner list is an improvement? And I don't have order by date ticked, which won't tick anyway. I really defies belief they could come up with something so unusable.

I must admit Beta is not for me either. Classic is much more user friendly. However I have noticed one advantage for some people that Beta presents. When new markets are created from scratch, that appear on Beta version first before they appear on Classic.

It`s a no-brainer. In fact, you can feck right off with all of your `Beta` boll0x. |

Beta is so bad, it suggests that the decision makers at bf haven't got the faintest idea how their exchange is used. Or that they really don't care.

It doesn't deserve a proper burial. It should be stuck on a raised platform on some godforesaken mountain top to be picked clean by buzzards.

The whole site is a mess now, there are too many options which slow everything down.
I can't see why anyone would refer the new site, I soon changed back to classic. Don’t Betfair understand that people come on here to bet, not pee about trying to understand what everything is for and find their way around. Why don’t they just leave it alone? They can reduce the commission if they've got money to throw away. |

By:
Well it seems the general concensus is Beta is cr@p.Don't suppose anyone at Betfair is listening though!

By:
I'm Sick of opting out.
Either go with Beta and watch the migration to purple. Or swallow your pride and scrap the Beta farce NOW!! |

Classic, no contest.

More options very useful on classic.....where is it on beta.
Rules very useful on classic..........where is it on beta. Scroll down "hides" vital info. My bets confused when switching between markets.ie shows 3 1/2 market bets as well as my 4 1/2 on same page.Please keep them separate. Sometimes red figs AND green figs don't show at all but reappear when you switch to a different market and then switch back again. Logging in for offers,competitions etc.....OK.....BUT,BUT,BUT, sometimes have to log out again and then log in to reach the site main page. Don,t think it is anything to do with my equipment.......ALL NEW and top spec. Prefer classic but i am still trying to cope with beta.Speed is vital BUT not able to do so on beta. |

Classic, although I would ideally like Betfair circa 2001.
For the last 10 years it has become gradually more cluttered and siginificantly slower. |

I agree with winningmoney there, it's certainly not as good as it was when I first joined.

The BBC recently changed their homepage to a beta version which was a massive step in the wrong direction. they opened a similar thread for comments which were even more resoundingly against the changes than those on here. After a few months with thousands of negative comments guess what..... the beta version went live a few months ago with absolutely no regard for the consensus. I wonder what's going to happen on here.
The difference here though is that the BBC's revenues did not depend on beta being rejected. |

Is there any way of opting out of Beta for good, so my user name knows that I don't want the Beta version?

I popped over to beta today for a short trip....my god it is dreadful.
I didn't hang about for long in there but the main thing I noticed was the size of the text......am I alone in finding the price-boxes barely legible on a laptop? No doubt it looks smashing on a 30'' widescreen monitor that the IT boffins were obviously using when they developed it, but on a standard laptop it's bl00dy awful. |

classic for me. I rarely go anywhere near the beta nonsense.
