New OcUK Website

[ASH1982]

Dont like it at all... defo not as user friendly IMO

Change it back

Who said it was meant to be a Union Jack? Besides, if anything it reminds me of the Norwegian flag.

Well I think it should be a Union Jack as the site is ocUK and it's nice to be proud of a well established British company imo.

Sorry mate I never saw it, I loved the old site and it was the main reason I started using you back in 02/03

Agreed.


The reason I feel people are putting their pennies worth now and not before is because we had no idea there were threads ripping into the old site.

I frequent these forums daily but rarely visit general discussion. The reason i'm here now is because I visited the ocuk site to buy a gfx card and suddenly noticed it had changed.

What i mean, if they really were trying to have the Union Jack on their logo, it could have been shown a far more obviously. To start with, the colours could be in the right order etc.

Interesting to hear Spie's comments..it could just be his favourite colours^^

Could be!

Ok...

Likes..

Navigation panel on the left. Easy to move from product to product.
Stock Level. More accurate hopefully

Dislikes..

Colours. Too many. Keep it simple like the forums.
Descriptions. Too simple on the listings. For example you don't know the cache size when browosing cpu's unless you drill in and then you lose the ability to compare to others.
Banners and advertising. Too big. Simplify them to one side and get some space back.

[ferretmaster]

hmmmmmmmmmm

Old site is back

 

[SexyGreyFox]

And there was me getting used to browsing by price and manufacturer

 

[Warbie]

I just clicked on the ocuk tab to have a quick look, and before I knew it I was browsing around and looking different components. That would never have happened with the 'new' one.

Nice one OcUK - the old website is a lot better

 

[paulbaker]

Hurray

Yesssssssssss.
Thank God, I thought I was about to lose my fave site.

 

[Bizarre]

Old site = much better.

Props to OCUK for bringing it back.

 

[KNiVES]

It takes a man to say 'I made a mistake', it takes even more to do something about it

 

[Tru]

Somehow I don't think it's back for good, at least, I hope not, Actinic is horrible software.

One would assume the resurrection is only temporary while they iron out the bugs...

Ironically I was about to make my first order in ages yesterday on behalf of a friend (mainly to try out the new site) and I had to go elsewhere because the site was timing out .

Edit: Tru, 'tis true Actinic is horrific. How a store with OcUK's turnover has managed with such amateurish software for so long defies belief. Any replacement is a step forward even if it does need some 'tweaking'.

 

[paulbaker]

Well I am going to make a purchase just to show my gratitude for putting the oldy back up.

I'd say the ressurection was temporary as well. I would love to see an OcUK site with the present look but the added functionailty of the new site...
