wtf just happened to cricinfo

[honestbharani]

I think that's fine given people will be going there for that sort of stuff especially during the IPL itself, but it's definitely annoying it's actually *above* the profile.

Think it will go back post IPL.

Has anyone noticed the cricinfo website having huge, uncontrolled memory leaks lately? It's crippled every browser I've tried on two machines, and it's taken me all night to figure out it's actually cricinfo and not Youtube/Kayo as I thought.

Must say they’ve improved the app a lot. Still a few annoying quirks but at least it’s no longer impossible to look at stats.

The site is pretty bad today liike @Spark said. Its also not automatically refreshing the scores for quite a while there. I just stopped it on the laptop and started following on the phone app.

I've not used Cricinfo for ages.

 

[weeman27bob]

Yeah, it's been awful for me today

This thread reminded me how much I miss the old switchhit podcast when it was like a weekly thing.

I'm sure the new hosts are good, but don't see the point in tuning in now

Yea it was unusable for me, I realised it was cricinfo cos it happened to both my work and personal PC's and this was the only common tab

I seriously thought there was something badly wrong with my computer because nothing I seemed to try seemed to work (because I was convinced it was some sort of video playback problem). How they've ****ed up the cricinfo website that badly is beyond me

 

[Spikey]

oh that explains why I was having problems last night. couldn't work out what tab it was

 

[Howe_zat]

Statsguru still exists for which we can be thankful

But yeah the main site has fallen off several cliffs at this point

I restarted my work PC a few times but nothing fixed it, then when I got home and opened cricinfo again, the same issue happened which made it click that it wasn't my pc but the website

I miss the old cricinfo, straight from the go cricinfo, had all the scores cricinfo, info on tours cricinfo.

I hate the new cricinfo, commercial mood cricinfo, spaz up your browser cricinfo, clunky navigation cricinfo.

I miss the insightful cricinfo, worthwhile analysis cricinfo. I'd say at that time I'd have liked to work for cricinfo.

Yup, started last week, kills Firefox for me, OK-ish on Chrome
