RTE / NEWS

msg11

Can someone please tell the good people of the internet side of rte.ie/news...

That I hate the new layout, way way way too much information about things I couldn't give a rats about. I just want the ****ing news.

Also there is a basic thing in HTML called the ordered list.. Use it in the 'more headlines' section. The time is all over the phekng place; storys at the top which are 13:01, followed by the next story at 17:50 then 15:30 ...

SO RTE.IE/news start using <OL> </OL> and stop using the ****ing <UL> </UL> unordered list in your code. Thanks..

BTW I have migrated to breakingnews.ie cause they know how to code something..

Turn on the tv and watch it. Starts at 9. Or buy a newspaper. Either way stop moaning like a bitch...

Why don't you e-mail them and tell them yourself?
They'd probably appreciate some user-feedback.

The unordered list is to allow them to rank stories in terms of importance on the website. The time simply tells you when an individual story was last updated.

This is just a thought, but I imagine that RTE doesn't have someone hanging around to update the website 24 hours a day. Nor do they have someone with super sonic hearing that picks up on a bit of news that happens in Waterford. Then there's that can of worms to be opened about whether or not something that has 'alledgedly' happened has in fact happened.
Just a thought.

The stories are ranked in terms of importance, not what time they were entered at, as has always been the way with that website... this way you don't get some small minor story ranking above one that actually means something.... btw there's a news & media section on boards if you really need to have some ill-advised rant.

plus there's a user feedback section on the site

What the hell are they doing with the headline?

A story is headlined full with a whole sentence and then the first paragraph of the story has the exact same headline. Did someone not sit their Junior Cert yet?

Why can't you?

it's worrying sometimes to see the order of importance in their most viewed "news"

Yeah i have to agree. I don't like it either. Sorry to the person that worked on the new set up but its a step back .

If you showed the before and after layouts to someone who never seen them before they would prob say the new one was likely the old one.
