So what do you think of the new MSN UK Homepage?

I quite like what they've done with it.

Re: New Look MSN

It doesn't fit the screen in higher resolutions. There's a huge gap on the right.

Why can't this basic problem be dealt with by webdesigners?

I've only ever visited MSN's site by accident when I open IE for the first time after a new install, other than that, I wouldn't ever waste my time on it.

I have no idea what the old one looked like, so can't compare. I don't use the MSN website.

Re: New Look MSN

Don't use MSN so it makes little difference. However, I prefer the old one with tabs at the top.

It's a shambles, far too much information in one place.

Re: New Look MSN

What a waste of time and money.
The only time I ever have to visit MSN is when IE uses it as a default homepage, when I use IE to download a different browser on a fresh install that is.

Re: New Look MSN

Well I've downloaded the new Yahoo messenger.I like it but I hate the MSN one.I always have.

ooops.Misread that.However I have always hated the MSN homepage as well.Boring and insipid.Too much info and too much salesmanship.Too many ads too much wasted space.

Incog.
