| 223672 | 2004-03-19 07:49:00 | Hi Been trying to log into nzoom.com for half an hour or so. Starts to load then loads the tvnz.co.nz site instead. Can someone else see if this happens to them to? Cheers |

After everything was tested and ironed out TVNZ were to pull the plug on NZOOM and use their own site to do the NZOOM services - so it looks as if they've finally made the switch.. |

After a year in development, we are pleased to welcome you to New Zealand's hottest information and entertainment based website... From the redirected nzoom site (which is fully accessible) |

Document: 502.html Remote host: 203.109.201.122 Server time: Friday, 19-Mar-04 22:17:06 NZDT" There is no redirect link or email address. Might have to go looking I guess |

| 223677 | 2004-03-19 09:48:00 | They announed a year ago or so they were going to revamp the site and if that didnt improve its situation then it would be removed. Its "situation" was that it was an expensive heavy unpopular site that didnt serve its purpose. |

| 223678 | 2004-03-19 09:55:00 | It appears as if they have tried to put too much on the site as it is very slow to load on a dialup. Also I have used a variety of browsers and it display differently or incorrectly on them all so testing seems to have been very minimal or not at all on anything apart from Win IE |

I was just thinking that my self ;), even on JetStream starter some pages take a few sec’s to load > Also I have used a variety of browsers and it display > differently or incorrectly on them all so testing > seems to have been very minimal or not at all on > anything apart from Win IE It look like they have broken three main website design rules 1. For the site to load ok in different browsers 2. The site should loads sort of fast on 56K connection 3. To build your site so it can be view in 800 X 600 or smaller (NOT: 1024 x 768. As most people have do not have larger screens. |

| 223681 | 2004-03-19 10:43:00 | Well I can agree with you there stu. I always like a menu before you enter the site whether to browse it in 800x600 or 1024x768. | kiki (762) | ||
