Re: Something changed, and if it isn't a bug, I don't/do like it

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but the three columns of reviews on the main page are awful. Is there a way to remove them?

It is easy to make three columns look awful snapshotting a browser window that is 1920 pixels wide..

With a more typical page width it doesn't suck as much although I'll end up adjusting the titles to make it more clear that this is the incoming review stream and put some chrome around it.

+1. I don't care one bit about reviews for ISPs that are not in my service area. Make it an option to either move them back where they were or not show them at all.

I think they look good there (of course, as I said earlier, I almost never go to the front page [on purpose anyway]--no need). The front page is now just more of what it always was--pieces/parts from other locations on the site... like a buffet.

I don't think the OP is commenting on the LOOK, but rather the fact that they are there at all. You are making ISP Reviews the main focus of the site by putting them first up, front and center on your home page. Whereas prior to the recent changes they were more out of the way to the right.

I don't care about ISP Reviews at all. Maybe default them on with a user pref option to stop showing them.

Thanks for the tip. That's certainly better than reading reviews that are completely useless to me. I'm used to just typing d or ds in every device I've got and hitting enter. It's annoying to have to now do that and then mouse over to a link to make something that's some what useless go away. Some might think that that's nothing but when you primarily navigate windows with the keyboard more than a mouse it makes a difference.
