I did some measuring on the front page, and counting the swans as non-news, on my PC approximately 18% of the window is actual content, big enough for just one and a half stories to appear.
Indeed, the swans end up being the focal point of the front page, yet…

eastokyo - that would be a good theory, except that we are seeing very few comments in the stories.
I see there's an RSS icon for this story, so in theory I should be able to follow this thread without visiting, but that doesn't help me find new stories.

Anpanman versus Dougal from The Magic Roundabout would be a better comparison. Bean Bread Head is for the under sevens or so, Superman for the teens to adults.
Second the great big rolling eyes.

"Moderator: Readers, please bear with us during this first week."
Why didn't you test it out with a few random readers first, and get it tidied up before foisting it on everyone? We're not talking minor tweaks due to incompatabilities with obscure browsers; there's big usability gaps and missing functionality…

Good to see in the midst of all the upheaval in the site design, the quality of the commentary remains unchanged.
However, since he's from the UK, why is he talking about sidewalks and kilometers, not pavements and kilometres?

I knew there was something missing - visited links are not displayed in a different colour, so I can't tell what stories I've already read.

Since you are revamping everything else, why don't you make moderators' comments in a different colour otherwise things like this might happen.
Moderator: All people complaining about the new design have been summarily banned.

What happened to beta testing?
Surely you should have got some people to look at the design before foisting it on everyone then frantically changing things as we all moan in public, losing many readers in the process no doubt.
I see, for instance, that the footer has lost its…

Well, there doesn't seem to be much comment traffic...
Looking at the summary below, only one in four stories have comments, and few comments at that.
Perhaps your plan is to chase away commenters as you find moderation is more trouble than its worth, but if not, you need to…

The category sections are a bit wonky - first you have the Latest, then Previously which includes the Latest as the first Previously, then the second column starts with Others, which is a repeat of the Previously list starting from the second entry.
Next, the Latest has the date stamp…
