What were they thinking?
 

When they signed off this 'Check if ntl services are available in your area' webpage as being totally ready & user friendly for prospective new customers to use?

*How hard* is it to see what you type in? :eek:

LMAO-I'd love to know who designed & checked that page prior to it going live!

*Webpage Designer*-"What do you think guv?"

*Webpage Designer's boss*-"Looks fine to me"

*Sigh*

Thats awfull..... My dog could write a better page than that by walking up and down the keyboard.... It made my eyes go funny :(

Re: What were they thinking?
 

hmm... tis a little bit silly!!

as far as i can see the only thing that has changed is the colour of the text in the postcode box... is there anything else that i have missed?

Re: What were they thinking?
 

The font is awfulll......

What about people that have visual problems. I have very good eyesight and I strugled to read the text.

Re: What were they thinking?
 

I didnt have visual problems

But I do now after reading that :/

Re: What were they thinking?
 

good old ntl :rolleyes:

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Never mind the font, I think a better priority would be for them to get the postcode checker sorted. Aparently I can't get broadband, despite having had it for a couple of years...

Re: What were they thinking?
 

The colour scheme's quite nice though. :)

Re: What were they thinking?
 

functional

Re: What were they thinking?
 

How can you say its functional when it told Tristan he could not have broadband :confused:

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Slightly hard, not terrible IMO

the forum headers on this site is worse ;)

Re: What were they thinking?
 

:LOL: I can hear the admin coming..... Would you like to buy a flame proof suit ??? :D

Re: What were they thinking?
 

I think he meant that the colourscheme is functional.

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Ahh I see :dunce: Sorry Gary_580 :sorry:

Re: What were they thinking?
 

I think it depends on your browser. Using safari, the box is white and text is black. Using IE (on a Mac), the box is blue, and the text white. Not very good contrast...

Re: What were they thinking?
 

It seems to be designed for 800 x 600 making it look small here - but I still didn't have any trouble seeing the white text on dark blue :confused:

Re: What were they thinking?
 

It's a white box where you type in your postcode, & when you type it appears in that box in yellow.

Re: What were they thinking?
 

The box is blue here ;

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Same here, blue too... :confused:

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Mine is a yellow box, but thats due to Google toolbars autofill feature

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Same as Pem here.

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Do you have the google or similar toolbar installed? With autofill switched on?

Re: What were they thinking?
 

LOL

Its Blue for me too.

Re: What were they thinking?
 

No.

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Well it would appear to be an issue at your end since it works ok for the rest of us.

Re: What were they thinking?
 

No probs at all - blue box, white type.
IE6, XP & Google Toolbar.

Has somebody broken his browser? :)

Re: What were they thinking?
 

fine for me on firefox, blue & white

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Perhaps NTL installed some vicious code just for you Neil , given your stance on NTL as a whole ?


:)

In case you are wondering i am having a laugh mate ;)

Re: What were they thinking?
 

If you use Firebird/Firefox as your browser the box is yellow because auto complete is enabled, so it will automatically fill the box with your postcode if you have used your postcode on other websites.

So this isn't a website issue.

Re: What were they thinking?
 

update:

the text that you enter is now Black - ntl must have saw this thread and changed it.

aren't ntl soooo great :D

Re: What were they thinking?
 

LOL-So they have!! :pp

Re: What were they thinking?
 

Nice recovery ... :rolleyes:
