Scotland's People "Refresh"

[Neale1961]

Scrolling seems to be the name of the game - doesn't matter whether on a PC or a smaller device.
I hate it too. 

My bank has just up-dated their internet banking site. They claim the new look is "to improve my experience". Wonderful!  Guess what? You now have to scroll up and down endlessly to be able to do anything. Previously it was all visible in the same frame.

Regarding the tedious, gloomy blue on Scotlands People - that is just the "trend" in design at the moment. Everything has to be minimalistic and clean - ie. lacking in any creativity or imagination.

I agree wholeheartedly - I can't bear to use it anymore unless absolutely necessary

Minor improvements in moving between BDM records

Improvements? Really?

With the old version one click took you straight from a list of deaths to the births search screen, or marriages to the divorces search screen. Now you need three clicks - one on the "refine search" banner, then one to get to the next type of record, which then produces zillions of results so you have to click again on "refine search" to get to the new search screen. That's three clicks for what used to take one, which is not an improvement in my book.

And of course you have to scroll down to see all of the search screen.

You are quoting selectively from a comment I made last September. I also commented at that time about the problem you refer to resulting in far too many hits. I still consider that a bug and I am surprised they have not fixed it by now. It must hammer their servers. Overall I agree the design is poor - even worse than the previous designs which were not good. I am not sure why they have gone down this route.
