own up then.

who were the forumites that were chosen to test the beta version of the site and decided that this mess was ok.

what have you been told about logging on to betfair when you're drunk.

They had to change it because the old forum was unsupported now, I get that, but I feel like a 10 year old on here with a brilliant choice of face features, that only a 10 year old would use.

The use of an edit option would be handy to be honest Betfair. I couldn't give a monkeys if someone doctors a bet they said here (who listens to the morons on here anyway with regards to tips) but it is most annoying if you can't change something you accidentally spelled incorrectly.

Although, I suppose a 10 year old wudnt bea bovered how he spell'd ffs, butt at least ive got Blush faces to use.

ffs surely some of the muppets they chose to test it must have realised you need to scroll back up the thread to reply Mischief

ok, read top to bottom, then instead of scrolling flick the tab at the bottom and it takes you up so you can reply

there is no tab at the bottom, i'll just have to get used to reading the other way round Cool

Dear Customer,

We here at Betfair couldn't give a flying fck. It's our company and we'll mess around with things that aren't broken as much as we like to p1ss you all off. We will further ensure that on really, really busy days that the site becomes as slow as treacle but once again we won't care because the Premium Charge that we're stiffing you with will certainly make us feel a lot happier as you post on the new improved forum.

Yours

looking into putting a reply button at the bottom, perhaps they should have got a few of the sharper minds to test the forum first Cool
Report stewarty b May 6, 2010 6:04 PM BST
The migration to the new forum is now complete. We are aware of the following issues and es are being worked on as a matter of urgency:

·         Bold, underline and italics formatting options are missing when adding a post via the Forum tab (they are available when posting via the forum pop-up)

·         The refresh button that takes you to the last post in a thread, only works the first time it is clicked

·         The ‘Show newest first’ drop down functionality does not work as expected

·         When viewed in Internet Explorer, some of the buttons do not displaying correctly

·         Performance improvements are being investigated

·         We are looking at adding a Reply button at the bottom of threads

Please use the Site Feedback area of the Forum to inform us of issues you may be encountering with the new Forum. As a reminder, we had to move to a new forum platform as the old forum was on software that was no longer being supported by the vendor that supplied it. Continuing on the old platform would have resulted in bugs and a degraded experience.

Our goal with the new forum is to try to replicate as closely as possible the functionality  of the previous version but on a platform that can cater to the growing usage of the forum. In time, and once the issues above are ed, we want to start a beta programme to test and gather feedback on new features, such as search and the reporting of abuse. The beta programme will run side by side with the forum that is now live. The beta version of the forum will also allow us to gather feedback from customers on new layout, design and features popular in other forums.

At first the beta programme will be by invitation only (a small number of the most active forumites) but we will look to open it up to more customers as soon as we can. We have already made changes to how the beta version will look following feedback from customers invited to recent focus groups. We have not yet determined the timing of the beta programme phases as we want to ensure the issues identified above are ed first. We will provide information on how to indicate your interest in participating in the beta programme soon.



Looks like there's a lot of patience going to be involved............

THIS NEW FORUM HAS BEEN PUT TOGETHER TO GET NEW USERS TO BETFAIR (people on other forums find this lay out similar to what used elsewhere) THUS TO GET MORE REVENUE AND TO HELL WITH OLD FORUM USERS. ITS CLEAR THE MAJORITY HATE IT BUT IN ORDER FOR BETFAIR TO TRY AND  GAIN MORE POPULARITY IT WILL NOT GO BACK TO THE OLD ONE. AS FOR A BUG IN THE OLD FORMAT, WHAT UTTER SH1TE Cry
