Annoyed with the TdF spoiler on the front page!

I've been keeping away from the sporting news prior to watching the highlights... logon to BR and the bloomin' front page gives it away. How about changing your editorial policy so folks like me don't get irate?

    Then maybe have the log on screen not show the front page so users can log in without finding out the result.

    No?

    Or have your settings to "remember me" or what ever it is. Then there is no need to log in or visit the home page.

    Maybe logging in and visiting the home page shouldn't have to be the same thing. From memory it wasn't like that before the post site collapse 'upgrade'

    Maybe I don't want your website remembering me.

    Maybe every response you make doesn't have to be blunt to the point of rudeness.

    No?

    I would have thought Future would rather have us all visiting the front page rather than jumping straight to the forums, after all there's tons more adverts there.

    And I wonder how many people rely on this website for their TdF results fix? I tend to go to the BBC for big events (and squint like mad if I'm trying not to see how a certain event went).

    Anyway, am suitably chastened.

    So you were trying to avoid the details of today's stage of the worlds biggest cycling event and went onto a cycling website.
    Yep, definitely their fault for you finding out what happened.
    In future, stay off the Internet if it bothers you that much
