Look guys, I appreciate that you are trying to improve things. Nobody thinks "hey, I'll just screw up things and chase away users". I get that there is a purpose to the making the change. I think you missed the mark with the image handling.
The images are so small that they no longer say a thousand words. They no longer enhance the look of the page. They no longer encourage a click-through. So, since you have images and not just a pure text design, I suggest you rethink the image sizes.
Since this is a limited to no ad site, I'm guessing that Gawker media would like to generate click-thru numbers to be able to sell to advertisers in the future. This new format issue is limiting my click-thru behavior. I'm doing more scanning and less deep diving.
No, I don't loathe you. No, I'm not calling you names. I just think you were trying to fix one thing and ended up breaking another.

Yeah, could be, but hope springs eternal. For what it's worth, I am more drawn to magazine format sites than lists. It is hard to automatically create the magazine format from a buttload of different contributors. I think that's what they are trying to do, but this just fell flat.

Ya, this new format is pretty fucking awful. The image is what draws many people's attention, mine included. It seems like every time these sites are redesigned, they are taking steps backwards. I'll never understand.

Well reasoned and explained instead of the "this sux lulz" kind of post.
Report this with 'kinja help' in the tag. That gets picked up by the Gawker Media help desk. Not sayin' it will do any good...one can always hope....
