Can't now get the whole meeting.
Have to do each race one at a time.

How can I get the old site back?
And why do they keep changing things on this site?
If it ain't broke, don't try fixing it!

Don't know exactly how you are accessing the Results - But ...

From 'Form & Results' link > Then click on 'CARDS & RESULTS' in the Header >
Then - when the meetings appear - showing a small Block for Each Race -
Just hover your Cursor on the MEETING NAME 9to the left on the Going) > Click on that MEETING NAME  ....> Away you go.

Yes, individually, you can see them, but it used to show the whole meetings results in one page, so you could scroll down to wherever you wanted.
It also used to show the highs and lows, now it just shows one or the other.


Once again, a change for the worst to add to the new betfair site changes!

As you say - It must have changed during yesterday

The whole meeting's RESULTS will show - but NOT, now, Each race COLLECTIVELY - as before.

It is the SAME as a RACECARD, too..... ONE race ONLY Displayed.Sad

Also - As a Racecard - You used to be able to just click on 'Recent Form' for any INDIVIDUAL horse -
Now you have to Open the WHOLE FIELD, from the Link on the Top Bar.

- and - When you clicked on a Horse NAME - for it's FULL Race History -

The races appeared on SINGLE Lines, and were quite compact  -
Now there is an unnecessary WHITE SPACE border , BOTH above and below each race - thus extending the Race History Display to a long SCROLL Down operation.

As for your ... "It also used to show the highs and lows,"

I beg to differ - It was just 'In-Play' Highest for the WINNER - and Lowest for the beaten horses - as now -
Otherwise, the "Highs" for virtually ALL the Beaten horses would simply be shown as 1000.- -
With practically Every Winner shown as 1.01

It's a mess.  Let's hope this isn't the final format.

"It also used to show the highs and lows, now it just shows one or the other."

No it didn't - it had two columns, but only the 'High' one was filled in for the winner and only the 'Low' one for the rest of the field.  Which makes sense.

"Can't now get the whole meeting. Have to do each race one at a time."

Yes you can. Click on 'Card & Results' then click on the meeting name.

problem is that even though all races are on one page for a meeting, you have to click show results for each race individually - surely rather illogical when you have selected the option to look at results.
V annoying - layout is not as clear as before. Took me twice as long to get my results in this morning

also when looking at todays meeting i could click on a trainer scroll down to a certain course now it gives only a few and you need to go through pages.same with the jocks.is this the way now or am i missing something

I like that it remembers I want timeform comments and recent results but not pedigree, so I don't have to click the boxes every time I go to a different race.

@nellie1970 - can't see what you mean - if I click on a trainer's name I get a list of recent results and the 'course' column has a dropdown list that defauts to 'All' but I can change to a particular course.

for example redcar first race click on k ryan.when you click all on courses it only gives you 3 or 4 courses and redcar is not one unless you go through the pages.old site when you clicked on all for courses all courses came up and you could scroll straight down for example redcar took seconds.

Before the change it was really clear and simple. Why do Betfair make changes -  just for the sake of it, it seems.
