      I only ever go to the news page on the BBC site anyway. Home page is largely irrelevent from my point of view.

      Looks like it was designed to be used on a Tablet or Smart Phone, swipe left and right to change the main panel. Annoying with a mouse.

            Like the Clock feel all retro.

            Gone all Fumble-slab then? Will look nice on MCE.

            could do with mouse over summaries, the titles are meant to be enticing but a description before clicking would be nice.

            Wonder if they have paid MS tax?

              Horizontal scrolling. Yeuch. (Might be ok on a i-thingy though)

                I'm not a great fan of those sideways scrolling thingies either (carousels, to give them their proper title) - they're OK for things like mini-slideshows, but not for the primary content. Unfortunately they're the fashion at the moment

                  It worked so well at boo.com who started that trend off.

                  Thinking about it I think the page would work perfectly on a tablet but its a pile of ... in a window on a big desktop.
                  merely at clientco for the entertainment

                    I hate horizontal scrolling.

                    With a passion.

                    Yes, it might be OK on a tablet or phone, but neither are where I read the news.

                    How long does the congregation think it will be before the mouse goes the way of the floppy?
