Re: What's wrong with the new FIRST website - a running list

Visually, the FRC calendar page at http://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc/calendar is not as functional as the old one. The new one has too much white space and requires too much scrolling. It doesn't show enough on my screen at one time without scrolling.

Also, the entire site is in dire need of "breadcrumbs" across the top, that shows you where you came from and how you got to where you are, with clickable links that take you back to a higher level. The old site had this in a nice maroon colored bar at the top. See: http://archive.usfirst.org/roboticsp.../calendar/list

To not have that functionality on the new site is a big downgrade in my opinion.

One example of a place that I think does it pretty well is the NewEgg website.
