It's quite clean, but looks a bit too padded out to me.

753228 2009-03-03 19:30:00 I was unaware that it ever had a design - it always appeared to have "just growed" like Topsy.

For me, it is so slow loading that I avoid it.

753229 2009-03-03 19:32:00 To be honest, it is horrid. It is so sprawled out I have to press Page Down 5 times to reach the bottom. GoodHour (12218)
753230 2009-03-03 19:32:00 Not a fan at all. Will give it a chance though, its quite customizable now at least.

I really miss being able to hover the mouse cursor over a heading (newspapers for example) and then select (nelson mail for example) in one click. No longer.

Edit - and its so damn slow!!

Seems to be even slower now, like it's pulling ads in from elsewhere . . . .

Exactly - I almost wonder if it's been optimized for higher resolutions now - my 17" at work here only does 1280x1024

My first thought was "this was made on a 30" Apple Cinema Display". :illogical

753234 2009-03-03 20:01:00 Slow ???? you guys must be having connection problems, just tried it in FF, typed in the address - 4 seconds to load from hitting the enter key -

Ran Ccleaner to clear out the temp files etc, tried in IE7 - 5 seconds

Edited; just cleaned out the temp files again, second try 2 seconds in FF 5 in IE.

I'll try on the Mrs PC.

OK edited 2; on Mrs PC- 4 seconds on FF & IE to load fully.

753235 2009-03-03 20:21:00 Just found out why you guys may be having problems - may be some of the setting on your PC's AND the reason for the way its designed. very clever ---read on----

Theres more to the new stuff page than you realize -

If you always go to a section - say business or technology - if you click and hold colored title bar you can rearrange the page and topics to your liking, so you can bring the topics you want to see more up to the top of the page - and it remembers it for the next time -- NOW thats COOL !:cool:

Edited: if you use Ccleaner - save the cookies in the exceptions :D

753236 2009-03-03 20:31:00 its put me off completley - when it first loaded i thought "woah whyd firefox load the cellphone version?!?"

its very bloated and very slow now

i cant bear to use it anymore its just a pain to use and read now

was there anything wrong with the old setup that made them change it?

or did they get some money in and were bored so they fixed something that wasnt broken?
