NBL website usability issues
This was supposed to be one of the big things that was going to get fixed, and after a lot of hype...seriously, it's worse than the BA version.
99% of my use of the website back then was fixtures. Which are now in that stupid eCal format that makes them utterly useless for actually using, so I barely go to the website anymore. Went to try and sync the ABC schedule to my phone's calendar, and after an hour:
In Firefox and Chrome on desktop, I click on 'schedule', then select the fixtures I want. Click 'add', a semi-transparent black overlay covers the screen, and...nothing happens.
The same occurs in Dolphin and Chrome on Android once you get to the schedule page, but that's significantly more difficult. The top bar of options isn't present at all in Dolphin, and the menu is positioned directly over the NBL logo that links back to the home page and a link to Twitter:
Clicking in that area has only ever resulted in me being sent, completely incomprehensibly, to the league's Facebook page.
In Chrome, it's much cleaner-looking...because none of the navigation is there at all:
The big selling-point of this new website was better use on mobiles. Again, the old website beats it for usability even in that format by an absolute mile.
