Am I the only one hating the new site... foxsports.com.au I know they're trying to bring in more $$$ but i for one will be using other sites.

Yeah I've had a quick look at it today but haven't really looked in detail. Can't really notice too many changes besides the video section and a new premium area.
What's so different about it?

What about it do you dislike?
Seems pretty user friendly to me. But I don't remember the old site so I don't know what it lost.

meh.. really and extra time subject

You can only view limited articles per day now and paying for content....

What is this garbage, do I have to register now? :x

Hopefully I can play videos on chrome now :lol:

so I just went to look at the highlights of Liverpool Vs Stoke and got a message saying I had to subscribe to a premium package to view it, that really sucks.

Yeah main videos don't appear to have it, I just closed out of the login page thing and it let me watch the vid.

yeah, it did work for me yesterday as you said but not today, sad, I have full sports package on foxtel now they want me to pay to see highlight on the internet, looks like I'll be seeing a lot of TWG from now on.

What is with Australian sites charging for content? Do they not realise the internet is pan-global and we can go to other sites for free content?

lol can't even read the Rumour Mill without this shit.

I see they're now offering "free lite" access to the site, aka the same shit we always had cept now you can just sign up through Facebook etc.

Didn't want to use my Facebook to sign up so I just registered an account for lite access. Took several days for me to finally log in. I guess in six months time they'll dump lite access and force everyone to pay.

Sbs world news redesign is a fucking nightmare.

FFS. :x

Welcome to 21st century internet, peeps.

News is no longer free /(if it ever was to begin with) and you can't turn on the internet without seeing Miley Cyrus' chicken-esque butt plastered across every website you visit - including said paid news websites.

I use the Guardian Australia now. Although, they're bound to go down the same roue. I accidently clicked a link for The Sun in the UK - and they've gone down the same route. It's not just in Australia.

Fortunately I can't ever see BBC going all 'paid content'. So there'll always be one decent news site that isn't full of shit.

Hopefully Reuters stays free as well.

Off the Sportal for me, and TWG.

And agree with whoever said SBS News website is now terrible.

Do you use an adblock? Their videos sometimes don't work if you adblock the site and thus adblock the stupid advertisements.

While I don't condone giving them any form of traffic as it is a shit website;

news.com.au usually have all the main stuff off Foxsports with video etc about an hour or two after the original story goes on foxsports.com.au

So incognito mode on the fox page lets me through...

Can anyone else confirm?
