feeling kind of mixed on the new design, doesnt feel smooth right now re scrolling clicking etc, just txt headlines no images or excerpts in the side nav is not that exciting like theres much less info available on the home page than there used to be - on the other hand i like the clean appiness of it def wave of the future more refined than the stuff weve seen in beta tryin a be twittr or w/e - when does it go live on the big site

On the morning of Friday, January 14, a single 34-year-old woman put an ad in the "Women for Men" section of Craigslist personals. "Will someone prove to me not all CL men look like toads?" she asked, inviting "financially & emotionally secure" men to reply....Finally, if someone had hacked into his account and was seeking to discredit the politician, why shoot in the dark with such relatively benign emails to a totally random middle-aged woman on Craigslist, who didn't seem motivated one way or the other to us, beyond wanting to share a funny story? And funny it is.

i've definitely been reading gawker less since the redesign, not out of like aesthetic rage but just because it's more awkward and difficult to use

Totally. The side scroll bar doesn't work for me at all, ever. Also for some reason today the 'traditional' view actually seems to be refreshing more slowly than the 'top story' view. And they've posted the same story (Paris Hilton) twice today.
― franny glass, Friday, 18 February 2011 18:25 (2 years ago) Permalink
pretty sure the paris hilton story has only been posted once

the old design was definitely archaic in some ways and def not elegant but i always thought that might have been a strength in a weird way

I'm not super familiar with the Gawker redesign. Just curious why a lot of people don't praise it.
― buzza, Friday, 18 February 2011 19:08 (2 years ago) Permalink
i pretty much stopped checking it after the redesign. not a conscious FUCK YOU decision, it was just awkward and i can get most of that stuff elsewhere. i was actually wondering what kind of traffic they were pulling in the other night, i knew i couldn't be the only one.

theyre fixing search
you can do a tag search by just adding the tag to the end of the url
http://gawker.com/lindsaylohan
http://gawker.com/robots
or you can just use google which was better than the old site search anyway
― max, Friday, 18 February 2011 19:11 (2 years ago) Permalink
I don't want to harp on this, but it definitely showed up twice on my screen in the blog view, separated by several other stories - same headline, same photo. And one of those times, the headline was written twice. I think it's fixed now, but I can't tell because suddenly all the stories posted after 9am today have disappeared from the blog view.
My issues are mostly to do with glitches - I have no problem with the redesign itself. I'm sure once the bugs are ironed out it will be pretty smooth to read and I'll be back to being a happy lurker.

I keep getting stories showing up twice like that too, and others disappearing completely when I'm sure they were there earlier. I'm on the blog view too which is allegedly the easier one.
― Dust, Friday, 18 February 2011 19:35 (2 years ago) Permalink
its possible the splash stories that get posted as roundups
― max, Friday, 18 February 2011 19:42 (2 years ago) Permalink
so its not actually a duplicate post but a roundup post that has the same headline and splash photo
― max, Friday, 18 February 2011 19:43 (2 years ago) Permalink
i'm having an issue with the blog view too. so i scroll down and look through all the stories on the left column, until eventually it gives me a "next page" button. but when i click it, it pulls up a page of older stories, completely skipping over a whole bunch of new content that i know exists because it's listed in the right column.
oh except now i went back to verify that i was looking at the blog view (i was), and i switched from "Blog View" to "Top News" to "Blog View" again, and now the left column has cut off like six of the top stories and is loading at some strange midpoint of the list.

If you want [a fast] way to cool a cup of coffee...pour the top part of it from the cup into a saucer, and then back again a few times. The large and constantly changing surface area during this process will cause extremely rapid evaporation of those high-energy outliers, much faster than stirring.
