    What really annoys me is that the NZ TAB has shat continually on its customers over the last 5 or so years. Free to air viewing, form gone from newspapers, so on and so on. Now we have a system that is dominated by sports betting yet 60% of the core revenue is from Racing. I want to turn all the sports betting off because it doesn't interest me. Where is the button for that and the one that remembers by preferences?

    A website that crashed completely yesterday under a normal Saturday load. One that got the date wrong for the Ellerslie meeting. One that has a zillion hamsters running around. One that has a completely different user interface to the previous site and is less intuitive. I wondered where the race time was for quite some time. Didn't see the grey micro font jump out at me. Oh and the uncompetitive books and take out rates are still in operation. Plus I still haven't received my password reset email.

    Yes I'm only intelligent enough to set up a new website that works. On my own by the way. You want to hear the arguments I have with my team.

    I've checked all of my email addresses. If I used the wrong one why did the system congratulate me with a big green tick and say the email was on its way?

    Barryb you post a screen shot of the indexes but not the link. That's a bit like showing us the treasure while hiding the map or not giving any clues. Still haven't got my password reset email.

    Geez the site is down. Doesn't matter still haven't received my password reset email.

    Still waiting for my password reset email.

    It seems the web site is far from a normal site as we are all used to. It is an application relying heavily on JavaScript coding hence the many blue hamsters. So instead of caching it is always reloading assets.
  12. Chief Stipe
    But their websites work.

    You gotta love Google advertising! The ads that are being served up are about the "State of IoT in 2019"....."Improve your online customer service"..... Beats the dating ads I guess.... Still waiting for my password reset email.

    That explains my puzzlement.....Was looking at the Ellerslie fields and couldn't work out why 30mins after race one the results weren't up.

    Website speed on PC has improved dramatically today. Must be at their end because I've done nothing on my PC and our broadband bandwidth is half what it is yesterday. Just going to check what the emerging teenager (12) is doing online.

    FFS basic website navigation doesn't work. I thought I'd save time reloading by using the back to previous page button on my smart phone. It didn't go from race 4 back to race 1 which was the order I had viewed them in but took me back to the home page and the bloody blue hamsters! Not that it matters as I still haven't received my password reset email.

    Where is Twinspires? Dirt or Turf?

    12 seconds to load again. I guess that's why I still haven't received a password reset email even though I was promised one two days ago. Bit of a bugger really as I wanted to punt on the next at M43 Aqueduct (is that close to the Viaduct?). There's $7 in the Win and Place pools. Really want a piece of that. It's good though that the bookies have been up early and set Fixed Odds for the USA meetings.

    They are programming using the JavaScript framework React.js. however my understanding is that the term "framework" is an overstatement with regard to React.

    My VDSL speed is 20mbs which is sufficient to run netflix and any other betting site except NZ TAB.

    Just updated the mobile android app on my phone. Took longer to load than the mobile website! The App uses 29Mb of space - what for I have no idea. Also you can't store on your SD card which I dislike.

    It just took 12 seconds to load the site. Then I clicked on the ad for betting on the Levin Classic and that to 12 seconds to load. Seems nothing is cached browser side which means you get the same result the next time you do the above.

    Exactly shyte design! I can't understand having bought (or licensed) a pre-made system from an organisation that offers essentially the same products that there are so many problems. Actually thinking about it a bit more I can. The $50m went on customising it for kiwi English. They'll be having contractural issues between the developer and the host provider as well. Finger pointing. I'd love to be on the forensic team for the review and remediation.

    The average punter isn't anywhere near super fast fibre. However if what they have is good enough to stream movies it should be good enough for the TAB. Poor design in my opinion.
