With the website change, it is now a bloody mess, it would be easier to sail the ocean in a tiny dinghy piloted by a blind man than it is to navigate. There is no distinction between episode previews, and actual news. Bah.

Agreed, can't view or scan comments neither. No warning the site was changing, what are they doing?

It's awful isn't it.
I keep seeing articles about a soap and have no idea what it is as I don't recognise the characters by photo or name. Would it kill them to put the soap in the title?

Glad I'm not the only person to find it hard to navigate the soaps section

I agree.
I can't see how to leave or view the comments any more either. |

It's awful. Even the 'latest news' section is still showing articles from days previously

Some of us have had to put up with it for months already. I've given up going on there, it's too much hassle.

The whole thing is a mess - more tabloid than ever! I can't even navigate it on my iPad it's so bad and all comments I have made on the topic have been ignored by DS. Irritating!

Why change the site? It was better the way it was before. The forums are still good, but there are less spoilers now and users can no longer comment on Digital Spy articles.

Its a disaster, sometime the links work other times the links are crossed over to other articles. Not easy and I have moaned, I know, since this beta version.
Bring back the simple pages please and stop making the photos in the articles so huge they take up most of the screen! Sorry but you have woken my daemon. ![]()

I don't use the actual website now, just have the forum page bookmarked. It's just a complete mess.

Is there seriously anyone who actually likes it? All feedback I've seen so far has been negative. They have to listen or risk losing users...

I've given up as well! Strange how quickly you just stop using something when they make it such hard work to find anything. I'm sure some of the glitches will get ironed out, but it's a proper mess of missing menus and broken links at the moment. And even when it's working properly, there's just too much scrolling, and too many images. Messy messy messy.
![]() It was a habit of mine to check through soap news, but its just not worth the effort. |

It's appalling.
Everything is geared towards mobile users now but even on my phone this looks messy and bad. And there are so many broken links. The Beta has supposedly ended and this is the Alpha release if the lack of 'beta' on the top banner is anything to go by. Yet you have to wonder why they would roll it out when so much of it isn't working. |

I have the forums bookmarked and used to simply access the main menu via the drop down menu at the top. However this no longer drops down on either my phone or iPad and knowing how shite and un-user friendly it looks anyway, I can't be arsed to go the long way round to access it.

Guys, please keep in mind, and be grateful, that the adverts still work without fault, and that is the important thing.

It's horrible, so in your face with pictures all over the page, no organisation, I can't find anything, which means I don't know if they haven't added new spoilers or they have and I just can't find them and the comments section has gone. If they want to kill off the site, this is the way to go about it.
I'm not going to bothering going to the main site any more, I'll get my spoilers from somewhere else and the stupid black bar that keeps following me down the page makes me want to leave the forum. |

I don't understand why DS feel the need to constantly update their website all the time. I used to love their old website layout with the blue font. It was so welcoming and easy to look around. Not this black rubbish. As someone else said above, I only use the forums now.

I àbsolutely detest the new ds layout- totally unnavigable and full of really irritating pop ups with a huge loading bay and no way of getting rid of it.

I agree. The old layout needs to come back. With its organised upcoming episode pages and then story/new updates below with the option of seeing older new.
This one Is such a mess and nothing can be found. I ditched the main site altogether and get the news here. Until the old one or atleast a usable one for both mobile and pc comes out, I doubt I'll even go to the main site |
