Does anyone else think the BB website is really poor this year??? I can hardly make out the peoples names as the font used is really bad and small... They have a lot of people with long names this year so I'm guessing thats why... but stil...

There's also tons of adverts on the BB website this year and not many features...

The site has exactly the same features as it does every year. I agree about the font though.

Which is more reason for DS:BB to be the prime BB site!

It's always poor. It's been exactly the same since BB3.

I always think it has a "rough around the edges" look to it.

Bring back the BB2 site! Now that was a good one!

Are you using firefox? as that is the reason. As you can see the house mates pictures in Internet Explorer.

I can see them with firefox... you need flash for some reason, not that they do any interesting animation, could just be a simple picture.

maybe this was to avoid url-hunters looking for housemate pics beforehand?

The "tour" section still has nothing for the loft. It's currently linked to the dining room.

The names are the only poor thing about the site, It hardly makes the whole site poor...

Now look at the Aussie website - that is seriously bad!

Hardly updated over the weekends or after 11pm - and half the articles aren't even linked too!

It could do with some more design "flair.."
It looks very bare; maybe designed to save bandwidth or something? Which may be a good thing..

I think they should go back to the BB1 style of website. The "new," format is just not as interesting.

They are also having problems getting the Chatroom up and ready this year – I’ve always enjoyed using the BB Chatroom on the Channel 4 site because it’s fun to goad the idiots on there and entertaining to use when you're bored.

Theyve used flash to stop people hotlinking and stealing their images etc.
