<p>The BBC wanted it changed. We did not.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr George Sharp, United States of America<p>The BBC have destroyed a resource which many ex-pats relied on for local news, weather and features. This redesign is truly terrible. By the way, in case I am just regarded as another &#039;old fogey&#039;, I would like to point out that my first job out of college was programming a Rediphon/Astrodata digital/analogue computer, and I was also on the staff of the Science Museum. I think, and sincerely hope, that the BBC management have a meeting with the Culture, Media and Sport Committee in their near future!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Stormerne Hunt, United States of America<p>I no longer read the BBC news website at all, whereas I used to read it many times a day. Its new &quot;me-too&quot; format makes it look like any other poorly formatted news website. Information take-up is much slower and far less pleasant. It makes me not want to be there. I am now searching for an alternative that embodies the ergonomically efficient style the BBC used to have.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Aidan O&#039;Rourke, United Kingdom<p>I have stopped using the BBC website since the redesign. One of the reasons why I used to use the BBC website was because its design was less &#039;corporate&#039; and &#039;strident&#039; than other news websites. It reflected the BBC&#039;s public service status and was a comfortable, familiar and trusted, just like BBC tv and radio. Why not do the same as Google Adsense user interface and keep both old and new templates accessible and let people choose. I think I know which one the majority of visitors would prefer.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Richard Morley, United Kingdom<p>The new design looks terrible with its absurdly oversized fonts, disjointed empty spaces and cramped menu strip. More importantly, it&#039;s hard to read, hard to navigate and takes twice as much scrolling as the previous version. No other professional website has such large fonts in its sidebars. No other website has two right-hand sidebars right next to each other. No other website has a glaring blank space in the middle of the page when there isn&#039;t any info for one of the two sidebars.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr David Burgess, United Kingdom<p>I have persevered with the site until now. I have given it a chance. In my opinion, it is a retrograde move and I&#039;m truly saddened. The news page used to be my home page. I&#039;m not usually one for conspiracy theories, but is there any truth in the rumours that certain decision makers will be due to join News International at some point in the future? If so, perhaps they are party to a deliberate weakening of various areas of the BBC for good old Rupert?  I desperately hope not.</p>]]></description>

The navigation of the old site was much better with vertical navigation links.

      <description><![CDATA[Mr John Lee, Scotland<p>- Needs more comprehensive view, in one screen, of items from various UK regions<br />
- Too much scrolling, vert &amp; horiz<br />
- Needs some left margin for narrow screens<br />
- Left navigation column would be nice, instead of horizontal top nav<br />
- Lose that big grey box half-way down</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Graham Smith, United Kingdom<p>The new format is SHOCKING - its like viewing a website with some sort of accessibility features turned on.  In a world where the BBC should be making cutbacks in non-essential areas, I wonder how many millions they spent on designs, reviews, etc etc on this pile of junk?</p>]]></description>
