Has anyone been able to get the new Tabcorp website to function correctly? All I want to do is be able to see the results for previous races but the stupid site wont let me! When I select the meeting from the first list sometimes it changes to that meeting but other times it decides that I really meant to select a different meeting completely. When I do get the right meeting and try to select the race it either:
1. Gives me the next race to start instead of the one I selected (so I get race 5 instead of race 2 for example)
OR 2. Kicks me out of the prices altogether and back to the main page.

Bring back the old site - may not have been as pretty but at least I could get the information I wanted! You would think they would have at least tested the damn thing before putting on their live site!

:mad:

Becareful,

I have exactly the same problems as you.

Ridiculous that the site was released without all this ironed out, they never even asked for beta testers.

They could have let it go for a month and then acted on problems and feedback before release it just before a weekend.

Mayhem will rule on Saturday!

Very true tragic, they've lost me forever now, even if they fix the problems, the site is "klunky" to say the least.

Just a pity as I get the tote divvies and closing prices from there for my database, and I reckon it'll take me the best part of a day to get that info now.

Cheers

Thanks Kenchar,

I'll investigate this further.

Tragic/kenchar,

I don't use Tabcorp for betting but my automated stats collection grabs the tote prices from their site just before the jump and again after the results are posted. Well it did before they went and stuffed it all up.....

Neil,

Yes it is a ************ to say the least. I know of a couple of unhappy people (including me!) and I am sure a lot of others. I have managed to work out their meeting codes and page nameing conventions BUT if the Tabcorp website thinks that you are entering the code directly rather than using a link on their site it doesn't give you what you want. I believe (but I haven't confirmed this yet) that this will make it impossible to use the site with certain non-Microsoft web browsers. Apparantly their customer service dept was totally swamped today with calls and from what I have heard there weren't too many positive comments! Hopefully a lot of those customers will take their business elsewhere - I certainly am (not that I did much business with them anymore - just the occassional exotic).
