    Nothing could be truer on this occasion than: "IF IT AIN'T BROKE - DON'T FIX IT!"
    "0844 COSTS YOU MORE"
  • Talk about change for its own sake. Why cripple an astonishingly popular forum by handicapping it with crap sofware?

    There was nothing wrong with it before, someone got too much time on their hands!
  • The redesign is absolutely woeful, was a very simple easy to use clutter free site but now it's horrendous, a great shame.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I just did the control and F5 I can't get in at all now. How do I reverse it?

    I could just about read it before but now I can't read anything just get error message
  • I know! I loved this site! The alphabetical list of voucher codes was wonderfully easy to use and now everything is far more complicated than it need be.
  • Why a website that has thousands of visitors daily decided to launch a full blown redesign so close to christmas I have no idea. (Especially without having any testers apart from the mods)

    It looks terrible, hard to navigate and I can't find a bloomin thing. Even the text only version is no use.

    They were getting more publicity throughout the year and to be honest I think more thought should have gone into the design. They obviously make a bit because they are run by the same people that own Quidco so why not put more £££ into getting someone to sort it out properly??

    I feel it has gone back years, New visitors won't have a clue.

    HDUD was one of the easiest sites to use if you need a code quickly! It drives me mad when they change something that is so easy to use.

    Bring back the old version!!!

  • I think the've missed out on an important part of redesigning a well used site. Ask your readers what they'd like and what they think of it before you go the whole hog and change everything overnight.

    This is why the redesign on here worked and the one on HotUKDeals hasn't very well.

    Some people are going daft, calling for the designer to be shot! :)
