There is much, much more wrong than the spacing and readability issues that others have pointed out. The site itself is broken. That "Top Stories" frame extends the list off the screen but does not scroll with the rest of the page. If you zoom out in the browser with "ctrl -", more of the list is revealed which means the site is wasting memory rendering stuff that normally cannot be seen.
Also, GIVE ME BACK MY AVATAR!!! NOBODY WANTS THAT STUPID LITTLE PERSON IN A BOX!!!
The coding of the menus seems to be oriented towards larger screens, with no consideration for the way the formatting would get screwed up on anything smaller. My laptop is a modest 1280x800 and the drop-down for "Your Blogs" cuts off the list of Gawker sites (not that I'd ever visit one of them) with no way to scroll it.
The "Edit" button is hidden in the stupid gear icon at the top right corner. That would be fine if clicking on the gear gave you a list of options, but EDIT is the only selection you get , making this the most useless, inefficient drop-down ever. Why not just put the edit button directly on the page? It's right there on the Oppo FP, why make it go into hiding when you click into a post?
I liked the endless scrolling. This just turns perusing Oppo into a chore.
This compose button is a transparent overlay, which makes it hard to find even if you know where it is. It's also redundant as you already get a compose button when you click on the "stupid little person in a box". Like the edit button, it's only on the Oppo FP. If you are inside a post and want to compose, you have to use the button in the drop-down.
The "share" icon set (that the edit button is hidden in) is also a hard-to-see overlay like the compose button.
The decision to put "By [username]" after the tag makes it look like the tag is supposed to be the title.
I've tested the site in Chrome and Firefox. The non-scrolling stories list and cut-off Gawker site list are present in both browsers. It's not an issue of being rendered incorrectly, the code for the site itself is causing the problems.

On the scrolling, I just thought it was an Apple thing, but apparently not since use you Windows of some sort.

That's been present on the FP for a while as well.

God damnit. You're right.

No, on the FP the goddamn ads cut off the list . Removing them with an adblocker just blanks out the ad. The list still just fades off into nothingness.

Who just bumped this back to the top?

Perhaps it was yet another Kinja glitch.
... or perhaps it was YOUR MOM!!!

Kinja? Glitch?

Or perhaps there's a secret way to bump your own posts that I haven't told you guys about yet.

Oh, I know a way.....

Pray tell me, good sir, what is that way? I was being serious. I really can bump my own posts despite not being an admin.

Change from posted to a scheduled (current) time. I will advise against doing this. It angers people muchly.

Or scheduled future time. I only did it because I had done a complete overhaul of my original post. It was pretty much a new post, and had I not rescheduled it my efforts would have been wasted and no-one would have seen the stuff I added.

The only real problem with the redesign is that the main feed isn't in the center of the page... which means that I can'T just look straight ahead and read it like any other side, no, I have to twist my head a little.... that sucks
