Sure, there are changes to get used to... but that's all part and parcel of Progress.

Louis ,any reason why you ,who only uses WINNING FORM, was asked for input on the shortcomings of Computaform ,and how it should be changed?

Hi Bob,we have already make tremendous headway with the quality of the print and some other minor amendments thus far.The books from Wednesday this week are much better than the first batch that ends tomorrow - Vaal sand track.

We working against the clock to ensure that the "race summary" is included at the front.I am in the hands of the Software team and their availability.

Merry Xmas and a happy new year

Take care

I would think that "P" have e record of clients who download every Computaform every meeting......................I wonder how many were asked for input??????

Maybe they could have avoided a Fcuk up that needed to be fixed.................first time right is always nice!

As mentioned before - really not impressed with them changing the format of the old Computaform - only the last 7 past runs are shown - now I have renewed my subscription a month ago

now I get less than what I paid for - can I get a refund please :dry:

Formgrids are great - but you can't print it and take it to the races with you - so I for one will be looking more closely at other formguides - however not with any great expectations - the Computaform as it was, was lengths ahead of the others - and probably even its downgraded version still better than the others - but they should decrease the price as it has less functionality than before - imo

Maybe they should consider Tabloid form now?

I am so tired of these changes in horse racing lately. I am not going to lie... Sometimes change is good. I love the new polytracks. But sometimes they get it wrong. In computaform's case... Horribly wrong!!! Why omit valuable information?? The old c-form gave you the course variant (A-Z) of the race meetings run, which I have found very valuable when trying to find winners. Also, the first two pages where the tipster gives the summary and ratings of the day's runners, is what I look forward to the most, and now that is gone. The other problem I found is that the information provided is way too cluttered and the font is way to small. I was upset when they stopped giving us the placings of horses at the start and the 200m from the oooold computaform, never mind this bull crap! Also, why give the info of the last 7 starts? How is the reduction of 10 races to 7 more valuable for punters?
Luckily, they still provide the old format online.

Absolutely right IMO. The course variant(if calculated effectively) is on of the most useful tools for comparison purposes...............although I was getting a bit cynical as to how they were determining it.
