Yeah im also glad to see the old site back

I didnt like having to scroll down to the bottom to get to the forums and the old site was well good, was one of the main reasons why i love overclockers..

There's a big blue button on the side...

Also, CTRL+B at the main forum page before kittens die.

I rejoiced when I just saw the old site....

spie, i have to agree i think the old site is user friendly, maybe its because i check the products out all the time so i know where everythink is, please keep it how it it!

Looking forward to giving the new site a go, i'm not a fan of browsing online stores, i've used OcUK's competitors more often than not because i type in what i want, and within 2 clicks i have a picture up on screen with a price and good description, no scrolling or wondering whether something is a 'lifestyle device' or 'computer peripheral'.

If its anything like their competitors i'll definitely be spending more money here, i don't care about the GUI, as long as its simpler to browse then its a bonus.

I think it's a good idea it's having a revamp, though there were features of the older website which are definetly worth keeping. I liked the fact that there seemed to be more product info with each listing such that you then didn't have to go to manufacturer's websites as often to learn what you wanted.

Well I'm glad the old site is back..

I guess the new site was OK if you know what you're looking for.. Quite often though I like to browse the catalogue for ideas or something that looks good that I hadn't thought of and end up buying. The nice large pictures and easy to see desciptions are great.. The new site I thought was terrible and although I wanted to buy something last week it frustrated me and I went elsewhere..

If you're going to make changes, don't go too far from the site people have got used to and utilised for some time.

With any luck itll be better than it was before. Its not that i didnt like it, it just had too many irritating things on it.

Just to add my 2 cents, I hated the new website. To the point I would not even use it anymore

badgermonkey · 29 Oct 2006 at 01:59

Tbh the old one was much more user friendly, much easier to navigate, and generally looked better.

Sorry Spie, make it easier for us by keeping it how it's always been

NokkonWud · 29 Oct 2006 at 02:26

I can't wait, I think the new one is head-and-shoulders better.

G|mp · 29 Oct 2006 at 02:29

Ive only ordered a few times but i do prefer the older one

Jamauk · 14 Nov 2006 at 20:16

IT'S BACK!

Manlove is my forte · 14 Nov 2006 at 20:26

Looks very good. Well done Spie and team.

pinkacidbootson · 14 Nov 2006 at 20:28

I have no particular preference for either the old or new design, they are both great.

SideWinder · 14 Nov 2006 at 20:56

So, just noticed it myself. It does look better than the old one actually - looks more stylish and modern.
