How are you all managing the new site ? I am getting used to it, in a few days we won't remember the old one. Probably my imagination, but there seems like there is more advertising, can't blame ED though.
It's running smoothly enough for now, despite a couple of hiccups at launch yesterday.
Am I fan? no, not really, I didn't see anything wrong with the old site. I do however appreciate mobile users were struggling with the old version and I know I'll eventually get used to this as I have done with the countless other versions I've seen AB have in the past.
There are a few wrinkles I'd like to see ironed out on the laptop/desktop display (mainly to do with spacing, font sizes and the rather glary over-use of white backgrounds), but nothing too serious.
It's important to have advertising to keep the site alive. Pity that it doesn't seem possible to finance such a wonderful site along the lines of say Wikipedia
hc,
Thank you so much for explaining the zoom thingy. I had reduced the zoom through settings yesterday, but all other websites were also reduced (not a huge problem, but a tad annoying). Your method has reduced zoom on this site and normal service is resumed on the others.
Personally I don't like the format. I used to be able to choose which section I would like under homes and gardens i.e. DIY, gardening etc., and I can't seem to do that now.
