Anyone else noticed Betfair have changed the jockey silks to a worse quality - showing up more pixelated and less colour accurate for me on Gruss in running grid and making it harder to identify horses? Word is Betfair have switched silks supplier.

yes
just put up similar. thought it was me can you switch supplier? surely there is one rights-holder? |
|
By:
mine no different
|

By:
forum iffy for an hr, not seen anything diff on silks either BA or main site
|
|
By:
odd. they are a lot worse here and wherever the tigre is
|
|
By:
Same here, they have changed recently to completely fill the box but the quality is lessened, today there is a version that shows them almost flourescent and pixelated looking, put them back to where they sort of fill 3/4 of the box which makes them solid and learer to identify.

clearer

By:
we've had selective stuff before where some users see different to others, it's normal here, just tried turning off and on for silks and came back same
|
|
By:
the colours for UK racing seems the same, but for the irish racing the silks don't fill the box in gruss and they also look like the crap silk graphics they use for french or south african racing
|
|
By:
they changed in the standard wen ui for me. not positively !
 |
|

By:
The UK racing silks have changed, they are larger but messier, the silks I used to have filled 3/4 of the box but were far clearer.
|
|
By:
not as aesthetically pleasing. to put it mildly
|
|
By:
possibly Duffy , i can't remember how they are meant to look . i thought they might look a bit crappy the last week or so , similar to the silks for the foreign racing .
i think they tried to do this years ago and people complained so they changed it back |

the new graphs are tish as well. to be fair the functionality has improved, but the data is corrupt!

By:
Wood bee more concerned about lv being a phurlong behind than colours.
Newcastle a prime example, why is it so bad? |
|
By:
Cider - I rather like the new graphs - what have you spotted that is corrupt in the data?

wtf with the flat silks today ?
all grey |
|
By:
Clouded. The colour descriptions have been missing for days. The images, although poorer are only relevant with the proper descriptions. Perhaps with the new images we will be having Jim Joel's colours as Dark Grey with Dark Pink Cap.

another corrupt aspect of the graphs is the totals matched (traded) at prices are not accurate- which is alarming for a company that maintains a peer to peer stance- but that is not new

im struggling with these colours. scared to click in case ive got the wrong one. made a cobblers of thurles so far
and my reflexes, already glacial have slowed further due to the uncertainty |
|
By:
how are you viewing this, im using 2 24 inch monitors pc desktop, sometimes 4 screens and im not having issues with colours?
is it a laptop problem or display settings issue? |
|
By:
mostly viewing through tears
tried with desktop and laptop, same with both on 21 inch monitors. tried shrinking and enlarging. rubbish but im a bit fick |
|
By:
i have a difference between BA and main site but always have had, maybe my settings just make it ok but ive not noticed any change and i've not adjusted anything so weird
|
|
By:
id naturally assume id finally gone but others having the same prob. doing me melon in and chelt coming up
might end up cutting colours out of rp as used to happen for the frog racing  |
|
By:
u don't need to do that. if u r having issues next week i can help u sort screen set up without sticking the rp to your desk
|
|
By:
will send you a good vintage if you do
did you see that last race at saint cloud? winner clear and still backable at 9 and i only stopped when i thought it was too good to be true and id missed something. and bearing in mind the delay but got paid and saved me wretched day  |
|
By:
There's clearly been a change, the colours used to be encased into about 3/4 of the box, not filling the whole box like one big blob, that's the UK stuff, the irish stuff never used to be flourescent and pixelated like it is now, it's clearly different and if anyone thinks there hasn't been a change, hover over the colours and see if the description appears!
|
|
By:
I DM'd Betfair to complain. Apparently the change is permanent due to a change in the provider of the silks images.
|
|
By:
I emailed gruss and Gary there said he'd send me a link or download or whatever in a couple of days to be able to adjust the silks.
You can adjust the row heit now which might help some. |
|
By:
height
|
|
By:
Cheers Duffy - adjusting the row height does help a little but does limit the number of runners viewable in large field hcaps. Hope the Gruss link helps fix things. Just checked the previous version of the silks - the jockey caps are much bigger, colours richer and with better contrast and truer to reality and the shape of the silks is more rounded and not angular with more white space around them making identification easier.

@TM
"Every time that I manage to convince myself that you actually aren't Betfair's Director of Product Development - you go and write something like that! ^ Grin" I genuinely like them, especially the ability to zoom in on a timeframe or just see in-running. @Cider Sorry, couldn't make out what was the issue with the graphs you meant other than the total traded amounts - I confess I had not picked the latter up, will see what I can find to check them against. |
|
By:
The enlarged block colours for the UK racing look much sharper and brighter today IMO, the irish ones still poor.
|
|
By:
The absence of the description when you hover the mouse over them is just as big a problem as when the colours don't seem to quite match the shade the jockey is wearing, at least the description helps in removing some ambiguity.

By:
@ Longbridge - I like them too (as a concept) but sadly the graphs and the charts have about as good a relationship with each other, as Charles had with Diana!
So I have to I agree with cider  Cider03 Mar 26 16:54Joined: 29 Aug 02 | Topic/replies: 67,596 | Blogger: Cider's blog the new graphs are tish as well. to be fair the functionality has improved, but the data is corrupt! |

By:
I will have to look more closely and see if I can replicate/understand Cider's viewpoint - thanks.

The graph shows circa 270 matched top, however the figures show a material match at 530 (another at 450). That was just a random example, but the graphs don't match the activity, effectively. Or can't be relied upon. Maybe they filtered out a minimum back price, but the layer (or layers) has bet over £2K. That's just daft. Filter out 1p and 2p if you want for sure, not material bets.
