Nah, it's still rubbish. The old ASX website was so much easier to navigate. The announcements search function is so cumbersome now. Previously, you could type in a ticker code and everything about that company was available from the one screen. That is what they need to return to.

Perhaps they did, but you and I weren't on the invitation list to try out the Beta version of the new site. Rudi on "The Call" recently suggested that the ASX may have planned for and expected this sort of dissapointment and negative reaction, but he did not expand on that view, i.e. why?!? One thing that is clear is that the ASX are trying to commercialise the information that they control, meaning that people will be able to access info as they used to, IF they are prepared to pay. I'm totally against that, because all ASX announcements and company data should be entirely free and in the public domain, to create a level playing field. Some other global stock exchanges have had some success with a tiered access structure (fees vary). If people have to pay for proper and easy ASX full info access, I feel there will soon be serious competition in that space shortly that will allow similar access for less, and possibly for free - like the ASX used to be. Hopefully, anyway. I don't mind paying for quality info, but not when it's from the stock exchange itself and was previously entirely free.

Has anyone tried using the new ASX website 'upgraded' over the weekend?  I primarily use it to access historical announcements (particularly those over 5 years old which aren't often kept on company investor centres).  It's a complete Barry Crocker.  You used to be able to access announcements by year in just one click.  Now you have to trawl through page by page to try and find what you're looking for, the date field doesn't include year which is completely useless, you can't change the number of results on a page, it has awful latency but that's not the worst of it.  The worst thing is you now can't access announcements over 5 years old making it harder again for retail investors over investment groups to keep a level playing field.

I'd encourage you to provide feedback to the ASX. Also, here's a link to a petition asking the ASX to restore access to announcements back to 1998. https://www.change.org/p/australian-securities-exchange-make-asx-restore-access-to-announcements-back-to-1998
