A consensus was quickly clear: "Please bring back the previous format," one person surmised on social media.
"It's awful, the most useful features are gone and it's not user-friendly. A waste of taxpayer money," another added.
Others said the timing was poor: "Why change it on a day of severe weather?"
There were some fans, including one who posted: "I like the new site. The front page is much cleaner". But they were few and far between.
What a time we live in, when social media vibes are enough to determine a "consensus" of an entire population. Have we still not worked out that the loudest people are almost always the miserable ones? People who are happy/content don't tend to waste their lives screaming online about how happy and content they are.

Yeah agree, the BOM had given ample opportunity for the new site to be used, I was one of them. At no point have I had any real issue with the update and I actually think it is pretty good overall. What I have an issue with is the media and vocal minority whinging about it now, it just seems like a complete pile on for no real reason other than to whinge. And people really haven't taken the time to get used to it. I'd also suggest that those whinging today never really invested time in using the new site, just thre their hands up and cried.
