| Post subject: AFL website problems |  |
|
Anyone else have problems with this website, such as
1. browser freezes regularly when it is open
2. match centre doesn't update
3. browser slows down and cannot activate other tabs while it is open
Fair dinkum, I dread opening it these days. I don't have this problem with any other site.
Oh, and I recommend everyone DO NOT buy a windows phone (eg new Nokia). The phone and system is great, but the AFL can't be assed making the AFL app run on windows phones. Only phones you can't watch games on. Very disappointing.

Anyone else? You mean everyone else. Big T. THe AFL site is notorious as THE worst major website known anywhere. I know techie people in the USA and Canada who are amazed at the incredible all-round badness of the AFL website, and use it in course material as a bad example to show their students how not to design or code a web page.

The CA website runs a close second.
Do the sponsors (and they're MAJOR ones) not know ??

Can you believe i bought a windows phone? The dads who bought Beta video players in 1979 would be proud of me.

Ah, but all will be well when the most expensive National Broadband Network in history finally comes online (by 2022 at least  ). Of course by then fibre optics will be obsolete (the Japs and Koreans already have services delivering speeds 20 times faster than the NBN promises). And the real sting on the tale will be when this future monopoly service starts charging punters on a costs recovery basis. We will then look back on Telstra's service with envy as most of us won't be able to afford the internet.

Well, you can come up here Jack and have a beer with me by fast train as early as 2053!!!

Yes I have had all of those issues, just like everyone else.
The thing that gets me, is that it continues on, year after year.
Surely they can't be that ignorant????

 Brilliant Big T. If Labor gets re-elected they promise to build it. Mind you we'll be as broke as Greece and Spain put together if they do.

The Telstra sponsored club websites are apalling
Compared to the NFL etc, it's embarrassing...

Look Jack, if you want to be a retarded technological moron who doesn't understand the basic physics of data transmission, that's fine. You are entitled to be as ignorant about networking and modern technology as you want to be, but do at least try not to make such a fool of yourself in a public place, OK. For your own good, don't touch this topic again unless you are willing to learn a few technical fundamentals which will help you avoid posting such howlers in future.
PS: not even the giant speed leap provided by the NBN will be able to fix the AFL website. The AFL site suffers from horrendously bad programming and design skills, not transmission issues.

Yep, absolutely disgraceful.
Been this while for some time too, so either no one can be arsed giving feedback, or the clubs/AFL don't care.

Just so. As a matter of fact, the only people who can remember a time when the AFL website did not suck more than a St Kilda forward on a club trip also remember rushing home after the game to watch The Winners on black and white TV. OK, I admit that there was no Internet them, but that's a mere detail - they key point is that during the golden era we call the 1970s the AFL really and truly did not have the very worst website in the universe.
