I have seen several other local rag websites that are exactly the same as The Scotsman - just as clunky, just as inflexible.</p> <p>Looks like they are just upgrading to v1.1 </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4091#post-42534 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:06:23 +0000 kaputnik 42534@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It still looks horrible. It's still covered in enormous adverts (including those terrible rollover popups). It's still not clear to navigate. It's still the Scotsman.</p> <p>Wonder if their journalism standards also being redeveloped?*</p> <p>*doubt it </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4091#post-42530 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 13:55:23 +0000 chdot 42530@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"scotsman.com will soon be getting a new look - and from today, you can access a beta version of the redeveloped website at beta.scotsman.com. "</p> <p><a href="http://news.scotsman.com/thescotsman/Changes-coming-to-scotsmancom-.6847747.jp" rel="nofollow">http://news.scotsman.com/thescotsman/Changes-coming-to-scotsmancom-.6847747.jp</a> </p>
