As for the web page itself, it's a bit better than the old one but still has a lot of idiosyncrasies that are either confusing or just plain weird. Breadcrumb trails that aren't (they're merely another set of tabs, but it's not clear that's the case); links that are repeated in different places (odd as space is at such a premium on such pages); the odd promotion of some links that would more naturally be a level or two down (I think although I'm not at all sure that politics may be behind some of them); and a design which, again, reminds me of something from half a decade or more ago.
I understand from rumors that there the university style sheets or some such are about to revised in any case so things will change again. And I've been invited by my opposite number for the science subject areas who takes a hand in the group that looks at such things, to compile a list of comments. So there may be hope yet.
I hardly loved the 'forced on us' and (possibly overly?) studenty design of TheOldPlace's recentish redesign, but were we really so spoilt there?
