Comments Thread For: The dawn of a new era for BoxingScene

[STREET CLEANER]

I was familiar with the old format and the ease of operation. Time will tell...

[Old Spice]

As with any change, we'll all get used to it.

Just click on the all articles section and you adapt to it.

In other words, all BoxingScene has achieved is adding more hurdles for readers to get to the content - extra mouse clicks and visual clutter, just to get to more of Elliott Worsell's verbose ramblings.
Brilliant.
NOT.

I think it looks like a*s*s.

And not the good kind that you want to get behind.

I'll be the contrarian and say that newer is not always better.
Your old format was fine - there was nothing wrong that needed fixing. I enjoyed the ease of a simple column of article headlines topped by one single feature with one graphic. I appreciated the visual and navigable simplicity of the previous look.
Now?
Meh.
More flash, pizzazz, and eye-candy.
Not needed, not wanted.
I admit I am resistant to change in all things, so there is that.

I'm with Louie. I just come here for the forum, reading everybody's views and adding a little at times. So the only changes I notice are:

1. ai word censoring
2. more spam threads about viagara or whatever
3. No mods to stop when two people get into a cat fight on a thread and post 100 times each with their most clever comebacks
4. Most recently, almost brown thread headlines instead of the old red. And that just seems off and is def not an improvement.

constructive feedback

-The headlines on homepage are limited to just a few words. its way too short so can't even get a gist of what the stories are about

- the homepage looks same on web as phone. everything is MASSIVE. i have to zoom out to get a sensible font size. Make a web version and fit a lot more on the page

- Show more stories button needs revision. It should show more without having to click. and clicking shouldn't take you to a whole new page.

- lose the " Trending Boxing News" sounds lame and try hard

- big borders in between all the images do they need to be spaced out so much?

- it looks more modern and contemporary with the graphics and colors so that's good

I wish these folks well. Goodness know a credible source on boxing news is sorely needed, but I must say that the whole idea is soured in my view by highlighting Pauly Malingnaggi as one of its lead people. Malingnaggi has no credibility among folks who are seriously interesed in boxing. He is more of an overly emotional buffonish clown than a serious analyst. The shame of it is that his biases prevent him from sharing honestly from his vast storage of boxing knowledge. Good luck anyway.

This reminds me of what happened with My Space

[DeeMoney]

Meh, oversized font on front page comes off as poor quality. It reminds me of early internet of the 90s.

The old format was much much easier to read and find articles. Not a fan.
