RP new layout , where is the OR for the last 6 races

apologies . i found it under the stats heading

This is going to take several racing (losing) days to get used to. Luckily I have a magnifying glass handy for much of the microscopic script.

Hopefully I should get used to it after a potentially disastrous losing first week.

it is overall a terrible layout. too many clicks and scrolling just to see basic information .

when you click on a horses name they don't even show the odds of the horse anymore, that's basic information , now you have to click on odds comparison .  how is that an improvement ?

It's sh1te...used to have todays OR, RPR and TS ratings just above the ones from the horses previous runs.
Now they are stuck away in some tiny frigging font next to the form figures.

When you go to the compact card the colours disappear but magically reappear if you narrow the window when, as a consequence, every single stat disappears.

It's HORRIBLE
Talk about somebody trying to justify having a job.

who ever designed it has probably never had to use it .

some basic of basic information hidden all over the place

Why can’t these computer nerds just leave things alone. Improvements are supposed to make things clearer and easier. This disaster does exactly the opposite. Awful. Back to the drawing board or, better still, revert to how it was. We’re all used to it, so why change. Change for the sake of change never works.

correct Bluemax , just give people the option to use the old site or the new site . people can make their own minds up then

they did something similar in the newspaper about 8 years ago regarding the ratings and switched back to the original version when people complined

email them , otherwise they will never know how **** it is

And it looks like Topspeed and RPR data tables are omitted from the basic package, forcing me to have to upgrade. I'm not sure that should be allowable. When I subscribed that's what I was buying, now they're "saying sorry, you're not getting what you paid for".

My god, sounds like another example of enshittification.

But, at least you can access the site, whatever that's worth.

I keep getting the following :

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.racingpost.com (see the browser console for more information).

RACING COMPOST

excellent T2R

Just emailed their help desk.

I'm assuming they're very busy... .

What a twisted pile of pigs intestines.

Just looking at Lingfield, of the 8 races 5 have "no data available" for Topspeed ???

Yeah me too, they will be inundated. I was dismissing this at first as being people being people - resistant to change. But this really is a mess.

Oh right - so just looked and you're correct - three of them HAVE the information available. Which means that it looks like a technical problem rather than that data having been removed from the Insights package. I'll take a positive from that, provided the glitch is not that they were INCLUDED by mistake. Obviously a few spanners in the works.

There's nothing like showing empathy to your customers and taking them along with you, perhaps informing them of what you are intending and why, then asking them for input to help improve the final product.

Then there's the Racing Post's way of doing it. The polar opposite.

An atrocity of a website now.  Dozens of tipsters but harder and harder to access basic necessary information. What is the email address bluebook? . Can't see it on there any more.

help@racingpost.com

Thanks lux

Timeform race passes is "trialling" new features. But that is alongside the existing format and its asking for feedback (it's b^^^dy awful by the way), and it's been there for months now. RP might take a look at their railroad approach.

Thanks for that address, lux. I Have just sent the following message:

Every time I click on a racecard I get the message

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.racingpost.com (see the browser console for more information).

By disabling Javascript I can access the racecard, but then I cannot access any form when clicking on a horse's name. To do that I have to re-enable Javascript every time.

I am using the Chrome browser on Windows.

In the meantime the best thing to do is to keep Javascript enabled, but type each horse's name into the search box when you are doing the form for a race. After that it works as before. It's just the racecards which are now inaccessible.

The other thing worth trying is simply to give the game up, because we're all going to be affordability checked out of it anyway.

..... Chrome on Windows all fine here, preferred the old layout though.

NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,...............KIN AWFUL !!!!!

it is also noteworthy that having given no advance warning whatsoever of the change there is not a single reference to its implementation anywhere on the site. Not even worthy of a self crowing news item.

Whoever designed this new card layout, and whoever approved it, should be sectioned.

Putting the Verdict above the racecard is nonsensical imo.

can anyone work this out :

click on a race , then stats , then go to official ratings . what kind of order are the horses in ?

it use to be in the order of the saddle cloth number . now it's just random like bingo

https://www.racingpost.com/news/find-out-what-is-new-on-the-updated-racing-p...

As Loper mentioned earlier the font size for Triner, Jockey, weight, etc has shrunk for some reason ??

  I have my page Size set at 125% and it is still very small !

* Trainer.

There is not the slightest chance that the RP will revert to its old site arrangements. The clear idea is to remove RP Ratings and speed figures so that you have to pay for them. They need the money so you can safely forget the old site. Shame, I used to buy the RP about 3-4 times a week. I would now have to travel 10 miles to get one. It was also useful to compare RP ratings with Timefrom. Now I can no longer do that I will probably stop Timeform and rely on my own ratings.

it's not faster or more streamlined for me

if i click on a horses name it doesn't show its odds . i have to then go back and click on card or odds comparison

stats and official rating should have separate tabs

How did you find that Steerforth? I've tried by simply going to the news page and I can't see it anywhere?

I can only access it view your posted http?

I dont take much notice of the Ratings and Speed figures but at least you still have them, albeit with the hassle of changing pages.?

I typed a query into Google AI asking how the changes had been received by users. Google hasn't updated itself yet as the main reply related to previous changes. However, this link popped up in the sidebar as "relevant" information.

stats and official rating should have separate tabs

  I think they are seperate.?

Ok, based on one race and some digging around, the horses appear to be in ascending order of their Racing Post profile page number (not sure if this number has any other relevance but I think not).

So for the 19:30 at Huntingdon, the horse at the top is Tiger Orchid (2928026) and the horse at the bottom is Sunray Shadow (58950449) with all those inbetween in this order too.

Obviously that meaningless number is how many people structure and order their research...

click on the arrow thing beside "NO" at the top of the card. That restores it to racecard order. Whether you have to do that every day remains to be seen.

Having watched the promo and tried to navigate the new format, it would appear that the race card itself is the last thing we, the customer, require. Tips, verdicts, predictors are now the top priority it would seem.

I've given up and am now using the At The Races web site instead for racecards.

Horrible mess. My first priority in a flat race is always pedigree. To get that you need to click on each individual horse where you also get the ratings etc. I have no interest at all in tips or bookmaker sites so I will be searching all alternate sites for what I want.

thanks nonvintage and dave1357

stats and official rating should have separate tabs

glasgow, they are both bundled under the sats+ tab from what i see

Also really f8cking annoying is that if you click on 'Stats+' at the top of the runners field then the field disappears and is replaced by TS, Past Winners, trainer form etc.
Before this stupid bloody change all those were available in a dropdown menu below the racecard...they didn't actually replace it in the viewing screen!

....  OR  TS  RPR  ..  Are all below the " FORM " Tab.

never mind we will all be jacking racing in after thursday

The at-a-glance card is now at-several-glances, pointless annoying spaces elongating the card.
Pop-up form window now full size.
Modern web designer curse, fit as little information on the screen as possible.

The betfair racecard gives most of the info but again you need to click on each horse. RTV cards give too much info and only 2 horses fit on the screen unless anyone has found a way to reduce it. Sporting Life is OK but again you need to click on each horse to get pedigree. They all seem to be slaves to bookmakers.

dave1357,Can yo u please run through how that I can get the order of runners back to normal?

OR  TS  RPR  ..  Are all below the " FORM " Tab.

thanks glasgow , but i use the OR for the last 6 races listings hence the title of the thread . that section is now under stats+

Irons Click on "NO" Top left hand corner of racecard, directly above the Top horses colours.

Many thanks Glasgow,sorted now.
I have been on to the RP but could only get through to cancellations whom I informed of my dislike of the abomination set out

I don't seem to be missing much then, not being able to access the racecards.

If you are in the same boat, go to the Racecards tab and click Runners Index. Then click on the name of the runner you want, and everything works as it used to.

I wonder if anybody ever complained that the old layout needed to be fixed.

The old layout was fine,no reason to change it, this is a confusing mess !

WHY ?

Probably forcing us all to buy the paper has it hit £6 yet

That day will never dawn,MrsW

when I change font size (to normal sizing) it then doesn't open form on small pop up

looking forward to when this thread title can change to "RIP new layout"

To the RP Helpdesk:

Every time I click on a racecard I get the message

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.racingpost.com (see the browser console for more information).

Thank you for your reply. I had already tried all of your suggestions, with no success. I had also disabled AdBlocker. Even turning the laptop off and back on again failed! I still get the same message
Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.racingpost.com (see the browser console for more information).
Never mind. I only ever used to use the no-frills, compact At-A-Glance format for the racecards, and by all accounts that has now become a mess of pointless spaces, so I doubt whether I would be using your new cards even if I could access them..
Thanks again for taking the trouble to reply.though.

I've done everything suggested but still no joy, and have said as much.

Site is working fine, however, on my mobile, so it could be there are compatibility issues with the old Chromebook I'm using. It doesn't receive updates any longer, so I can't use Spotify any longer, for example.

Mind you, from what I've seen of the changes through my mobile, I don't think I'm missing much. It looks a bit of a road crash.

I get the same error message on the Edge browser, bluebook. Like you, I am running an old laptop (Windows 7 in my case). So I can't complain really. I'm certainly not giving up the speed and convenience of Windows 7 just for these new racecards.

The odd thing is that I can still access each horse's form from the A-Z list on the Racecards page, and clicking through the form that way has suddenly got quicker and smoother than it was! So I think I shall just let sleeping dogs lie now. I don't want them switching off that workaround.

Ruined my day - can't be bothered working it out so haven't had a bet. I've never been a Ludite but this is not progress. It's gone from being a visually pleasing layout to an annoying mess. Why, no consultation.

Bean counting suits have ruined another perfect site......they are probably  in stone walling consultation with each other right now  saying....they will get used to it...dont think so the is a ABOMINATION get it fixed back...if it aint broke dont fix it

Is anyone able to see "past winners" of any particular race?
Not available to me

Was able to reorganise  a horse's form by placing, therefore having all the winning form at the top of the list.

This facility appears to have been ditched.

John, I pulled up this runner at random from tomorrow's Runners Index on the Racecards page, and I still have 'Pos' to click on, which rearranges winning form to the top of the list:

https://www.racingpost.com/profile/horse/5023494/blackacre/form

Maybe you need to access horses' form from the Runners Index to get the old-style layout. Or maybe it's just a quirk of me still being on Windows 7.

Thanks, they seem to have changed the wording.

I shall keep a close eye on Blackacre tomorrow!

Cleared my cache, cookies, etc, and then popped on to C*rry's website to see about picking up a new Chromebook.

And that website doesn't work either - can't get past the security page.

The irony is that when you try to access the cards on the Racing Compost site, you can't access the form, but the pop-up extolling the virtues of the new upgrade comes up without any issue... .

And people wonder why I drink... .

sageform re pedigrees -- on each card below the blurb and above the first horse, there should be a settings tab which enables you to add pedigrees (sire, dam, damsire) as on the old format. Once set it sticks for all cards.

From the RP guide, these settings should have been carried over from the old format but clearly were not.

Just a thought.

We are using (or struggling to use) the cards on laptops or PCs but the RP staff and racegoers probably use it on their phones.

I wonder if that is the motive for the changes: to make the cards fit more easily on phone screens.

Look in the 'Stats+' tab that sits in one of the rows of buttons above the racecard.
Unfortunately it is no longer a drop down menu at the bottom of the card.
TS, RPR's OR's are also under the same button.

/\/\

This is the biggest problem, previously everything was on the pro card same page. You could order the card and open whichever stat drop downs you needed, from that point everything - comments, race comments, top speed, post data, replays was just a quick scroll, hover / click away.


Splitting the pro card from stats+ and removing the drop downs kills that ease of use stone dead.

I've put a petition up gents/ladies on another thread, please sign it if the new site is driving you nuts.  You never know if we send hundreds of signatures over to them they might rethink.   I live in hope.

If they dont go back to the original layout I will be cancelling my subscription its awful.

The only thing I used to do was go to settings and click on pedigrees. Does anyone know how to get that now? Obviously, I don't want to click on every individual horse. If there isn't an easy way I will be going elsewhere.

Thanks

^ ignore.

Card Options = settings
