Who would that be, I wonder? :)

It is horrible- the colour scheme is pretty atrocious. The old one was nice and simple- always the best way to go in websites.

It does seem to be a little heavy on the primary colours.

I didn't like the old one, and much prefer it as it is now.

Oh, does anyone know who administers the site? (I wanted to ask them to update a society website address.)

Someone seems to have missed the "what colours to use" course. Black text on a dark blue background is not generally a good idea.

Anyone know who did it?

Nicola is the site's administrator, best to email her at docomm (i think).

I doubt she had anything to do with it though - that would involve her getting off of her arse and out of a pub and into the office to do work that she's paid to do, if this ever happens then someone please call the pope.

Yep, the Union website is all new and improved. The general consensus was that the old one was bland and dated, so I've redesigned the whole thing - there are a few bits and pieces that still need ironed out, so if you find any problems with links or whatever, please let me know!

Glad some of you like it!

That was sadly a very personal attack by S.P.I.G. on the Docomm. Perhaps he is one of these people who always gets shat on himself, you know the unfortunate type. There is no need to vent anger on people he does'nt even even know though, and, for that matter, about things that really are not that important.

like the way you 'net-heads' all get wound up about websites and the design of them. I doubt you have anything to do with being normal, that would involve getting off your computer chair-shaped arses and moving into the realm of the living, if that ever happens somebody call NASA as the reflective glare from your pasty indoor skin might interfere with satilites.

A bit overly primary coloured for my taste, but then again the last one was a bit dull. Suspiciously similar useage of primary colours to the 'Blue Peter' website.

I prefer the old one. Maybe they should pay a pro a bit to do it? Surely some student could?

I think the site looks good! I do have a few grievances though. The only problem I have with the layout is the way the recent news are listed (to the right of the POP ad), it is really hard to read them, and they are all jumbled up. It may be beneficial to try and separate them into groups with headings like 'Society News' and 'This Week' and use bullet points to or something to distinguish between them. Also, a lot of the society info is outdated and the links don't work. And finally, I really miss the Your Union -Do Stuff logo. But other than that, great, much needed improvement. Hopefully it will continue to be kept up to date!
