    The Times - how not to introduce a new look and feel

    It ain't ready yet.

    Search function - no opportunity to refine the results, or even sort by date.
    Some sections on the website are only accessible via the e-paper
    Not all sections from previous days can be accessed.

    And when you read the FAQs concerning these issues "This feature is not yet available but we are looking to introduce it soon."

    But hey - it's all available equally on the mobile app as via the browser.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        "The Times and its sister paper The Sunday Times (founded in 1821) are published by Times Newspapers, since 1981 a subsidiary of News UK, itself wholly owned by the News Corp group headed by Rupert Murdoch."

          Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

            You really spent time to do all of that on Times website?

                    Telegraphs new design pretty rubbish too.

                    I'd cancel my subscription if I'd one!
