Oooooh - I like that tbh. Simple and crisp0

I don't like the fact theres no scrolling on news stories0

It's done by FLi, as a web designer myself I can see how they've tried to make the new site more intuitive and interactive but don't think they have done it very well. I wonder who their contract is with, the way it's designed isn't bad but like the previous site it exudes cheapness. 8/10 for effort 4/10 for execution.0

I think I prefer the old one (which I'm still getting anyway!)0

Like the principle, as people have said nice and crisp but needs some layout changes. Sure they will get it sorted.0

*rant*Having done web design, the fundamental rule before rolling out a live site is ensure that it is portable across browsers. IE sucks quite frankly and anyone that uses it outside of being forced to at work needs shooting imho*/rant*0

Not feeling that, looks like a blog now0

Good point - I did some system testing on websites - pain in the ass to have to do every test 3 times - IE, Firefox and Chrome.cdbloomfield said:*rant*Having done web design, the fundamental rule before rolling out a live site is ensure that it is portable across browsers.

then you also need to test it on the older versions of said browsers!Saga Lout said:cdbloomfield said:*rant*Having done web design, the fundamental rule before rolling out a live site is ensure that it is portable across browsers.

I hate IE.
It's a million miles better than what it was, but still a bit of a template fit for us. I.e. quite limiting in what CAFC need.
Some of the fonts look a bit dodgy!

I have it now and dont like it, looks cheap and tacky. I hope it is work in progress.0

You can win an Ipad on it – allegedly.
Three pages of info but nowhere to click to win!

Oh yeah, that's right. After we'd tested it in the latest IE version we had to re-run the tests in the previous 2 versions. I was surprised at the differences we found... but I guess this little discussion is putting everyone else to sleep so I will say no more.SE10Addick said:

I requested a new password to be sent to me but now it's not even recognising my email address.0 -

On the site is says: "To enter the draw, sign up to Charlton’s official club newsletter. By registering for the newsletter and entering the prize draw, fans agree to the league’s terms and conditions".wickford said:You can win an Ipad on it – allegedly.

The link to the newsletter is at the very top of the website. I've edited the story to make it clearerIsawAlonsoplay said:

If you're a member (Red Card holder, so every season-ticket holder), you can buy tickets online as you've always been able to do via the members system.AddickedAthletic said:

Non-members will again be able to buy tickets online shortly.0 -
I agree. This was imposed on clubs and, like the vast majority of clubs, we've asked for it to be changed.EpsomAddick said:It's annoying that articles run over 2 or 3 pages. Other than that I like it.

I like it. Still needs a bit of tweaking in a few places (longer stories over lapping pages/the badge in the corner) but navigation and ease on the eye is alright0
-
It's working now. I like it much , much more than that old generic site.0
-
Yeah it looks alright.
Just think the font looks as if it's still loading and will appear clearer any moment now. But no.

Well I do not like the new site, and also I have problems getting past the firts page. When i try to get into the second page I fail to download it I get message about a long running script on the Charlton site that stops me down loading it. Does any one have any ideas what I can do to sort this out. I am not a computerbuff.0

Don't you get a message saying "long running script, do you want to continue yes/no ? "msomerton said:Well I do not like the new site, and also I have problems getting past the firts page.

Click on no & it should download.
I think the long running script is because there is so much info, pictures & colours.
It also says at the bottom of page 1 that they have had technical issues since Saturday. Seems to be running slow to me & when I clicked on ticket news, it defaulted back to page 1.0 -
New site doesn't work on a smartphone and the page on mobile use suggests downloading the FL app which appears to have no Charlton content in it - News being completely blank - at least the old site had a reasonably good mobile template for latest news and match reports
Tickets still on the old old system which only works with IE!
Pretty shoddy all round in my opinion - would be interesting to see if they did any user research before building the new site - stats show that smartphone web usage is the fastest growth area in the web0
