What's up with SOCCERNET?

So, ESPN decided to 'GO' with a snazzy new format during the world cup which -- for reasons best known only to the idiots in Bristol -- they've continued.

Am I the only one seriously irritated that we can't click on the league and see all the scores AND all the scorers? Also, why is it so difficult to page through the leagues and seasons? Are drop-down boxes a thing of the past?

Of course, perhaps (a) I'm the only one who is bugged by this change OR (b) I'm the only one who can't figure out how to make the information more ... useful?

Inquiring old farts ... etc.

 

I guess I'm getting old too, Hatter. These new parallax blogs and such look snazzy but it does make information harder to find. I noticed it with ussoccer too. I can't find the detailed player stats and information I liked browsing for anymore. Too bloggy and not enough
Cut and dry info front and center.

 

Nevermind about the US Soccer site, they seem to have added some of the info back since the last time I visited. But the landing page still takes me some time to adjust.

 

yeah, but there is now a bigger demand for websites to be mobile compatible as browsing on phones and tablets is becoming the default method for surfing.

I think where the problem mostly lies is getting web surfers used to not seeing everything in menus that are already expanded across the screen and having to use menus that are more horizontal and then navigated vertically--plus they have click the menus now to operate.

I can find everything Don was trying to find in the dropdown menus now on Soccernet, it's just different from how we've been conditioned to finding the information in the past. But websites should be good on both, I'm hoping this site does both well. I think there's room for improvement, but I am a bit limited in what I can do since this more strictly forum software and not CMS software.
