For those of you frantically searching for the workaround to turn Tiger off, have no fear - our diligent Opponauts are posting the solution all over Oppo. What you should fear, however, is that this workaround will most likely go away in the coming weeks. I would strongly suggest getting in the pool now as opposed to being pushed in when the /?tiger=off no longer works. Oppositelock is a great community and I would really hate to see people leave because the commenting system changes (again) and instead of knowing how to use it they are instead overwhelmed. This isn't going to be the last change Gawker makes and since it's apparently so terrible we have something better to look forward to. Unless Denton fucks that one up as well.

I'll get into the pool, but only up to my middle thigh area. I'm afraid of shrinkage if I go much further.

Start a petition if enough users are against it!
At least an option to get rid of it.

The format has changed so many times over the years, and we've always managed to adapt one way or the other. Except for the people who ditched Oppo for G+. Bunch of babies.

Not gonna happen unfortunately. Strangely enough, this is what the old Jalopnik commenting style looked like.

Look,
Its fucking bullshit.
The last one was at a place where things worked. I would've been happy with the new editor alone. They should have focused purely on backend improvments.
This is not even 2 steps forward, 1 step back. This is 3 steps back. And then having your limbs severed so you can't crawl forward.
It isn't intuitive. It isn't friendly to large threads at all. Its actually fairly broken. If I have to rick click open in a new tab every large thread just to see all the replies, thats fucking bullshit.
I won't blame people for leaving.
Reddit has a better system. Let that sink it for a minute.

Maybe having you open new tabs was the plan all along - translates into more page views?

The old "petition!" gambit only works when the upper echelon can be held accountable by the plebes.
They are not accountable to us. They are accountable to ad money, which I am sure will only grow given the furious multiplication of clicks and posts relating to the new commenting system.
And once the dust has settled on Tiger, they'll be halfway to launching Sperm Whale or whatever else is planned.

I'm not at all considering leaving, but what's the G+ page? Didn't know it existed.

I'm not sure, since I never joined. I'm sure one of the other regulars here can point you in the right direction.

I assume it's a small group that's probably still active over here as well.
Revolution only works when you get people to go along with you.

Since time skip doesn't work on embed, go to 2:55 for the good stuff. This is why I will use tiger off until it gets taken away, then I will most likely go away as well (unless this gets fixed)

You can get used to nearly everything, possibly even getting stabbed. The question is: why would I want to? Oppo is great, but the new system makes it a proper chore to browse; and if it's a chore I say fuck it.
Unless I suffer a blow to the head and start liking tiger I'm out the moment /?tiger=off stops working.

Boo. Browsing Oppo is easy, it's just the comments that are giving everyone heartburn.

Comments are at least 50% of the content to me, possibly more than that.

I will use /?tiger=off until the day they take it away from me, and then I will die with honor.

Comments are what make Oppo great. Make them difficult to access and read and most of the reason for coming here disappears.

"it's apparently so terrible we have something better to look forward to. Unless Denton fucks that one up as well."
Are you saying it's acknowledged in Gawker World HQ that Tiger does, in fact, suck out loud?
Then why the hell implement it?

Because regardless of what the commenting system is like, people will still give Gawker Media page views.

I've noticed almost all mobile websites suck on Windows Phone because too many dumbass web developers use -webkit for everything and breaks the site for anyone who visits it using a browser that isn't Chrome or Safari.

Kinja pages are the only ones I have troubles with to the point of unusability. I can get around the issues of other sites. Since Oppo/Jalopnik/WhiteNoise garner over 90% of my internetting attention, they are by and large the biggest issues.
I don't own a computer. I do all my shit on my work desktop or my WinPho.
