It's a illness called tweakitis, I suffer from it myself, if I can move a block of text over 1 pixel and spend 2 hours doing it then looking at it and saying 'that looks much better' whilst the wife tuts and says she's sure I've got aspergers..... It does look a bit worse that.
I don't mind it as it goes, looks quite nice. That said, I've always held up the BBC news site as a paragon of clean, unfussy and effective design. I'm not sure that can be said now. If you want to see a pair of horrors try the www.nme.com and www.mirror.co.uk.
ugghhh.

On first impressions, I'm not liking it... and I've also had a couple of occasions where it's jumped back to the old style or bits of menu have gone missing.
In the past i've clicked on a news story then at the side it has links to the older stories about say a court case. You click on the link from 2004 and you obviously see an older version of the BBC website which looks horrible.
Probably in 5 years time we'll look back at the last site and think how bad it looked ! You know we dont normally like change ;)
Look at the parlarva when the WOS forum changed, plus people were moaning left/right and centre when Retro gamer changed and has avatars on the right not the left etc.
Has it only just gone final? I've been using the "new" BBC frontpage for a couple of months.
They've had a few balls-ups recently with the user editing of the page, but it's not really any different to the previous one.
Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

Yuk, it is horrible. I gave it a chance..but this new layout just seems - messy.
On the subject..I've hated on the site for a long time now that when you go to a story, you get pestered with a video of the story when you can just read the story perfectly well. It's the time it takes for the videos to get in position to be played..gets on my nerves.
And yes, many sites seem to be ruining themselves these days by radically changing the layout and putting Java all over the joint.

Oh my that's terrible. Why does everybody seem to be ruining their tried and tested website designs these days?
ugghhh.
Jeez! That Mirror one's hideous.
e.g. they put a short news round up at 8pm on bbc..
