Home page Flash news box: keep?

[Ninety5rpm]

Since the other poll deadline is long gone and the Flash box is still there, I am starting a new thread/poll on this issue.

At the top left of the current cyclingnews.com home page there is a large Flash box entitled "Today on cyclingnews.com".

I find this box to be very distracting, redundant, useless and that it simply clutters the page. One of the biggest problems with the home page is that there is no clear point of focus, and this box is a big cause of that.

I think the page would be greatly improved if this box was removed, moving everything else up higher on the page.

What do you think?

Ninety5rpm,

I'm going to start calling you Jimmy Two Times. Did we need a clone thread?

Be nice!

Come on - masquerading opinion as insulting fact is not helping.

However, I'm not loving the Flash - I prefer the columns of the non-Flash version.

I think you're doing a good job of migrating from a slightly bizarre structure that everyone was used to, to a more normal news site structure.

Keep it up.

I had not been to the site in quite a while but was looking for some results that I could not find elsewhere and this was the last resort. Actually a lot easier then the privious rolling thing and has a much smaller impact on the download speed.

ah great the stupid flash carosal is back. How could they improve things and then go backwards.

I am really starting to get ****ed with the **** poor attatude that the owners of this website seem to have for its readership. Have you noticed that they no longer even try and respond to complaints or user comments on the forum.
