Is this the new Kinja normal?

I didn’t realize how important knowing who posted something was to me until Kinja took it away. Usually a glitch like this is fixed by now, which makes me wonder whether this is a permanent change.

It’d be a shame for something this trivial to kill Oppo, but it really does feel emptier somehow.

Gotta be a glitch because it's not consistent? There are a handful of names that pop up still. Bit they might all be mods....

Embiggened. That seems to be the way to sidestep this problem.

Wow, it’s even fucked up on our Dashboards:

Ya gotta hand it to G/O Media, when they screw up, they go all out .

Came to say this.

It does mess me up to.

Same with # of comments on a post. Some show comments, some don’t.

Doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason.

In other words, Kinja as usual.

It’s what they call  sleek design.

That’s just a c aching problem, though. Eventually the c omment tally  catches up with reality.

Not particularly user -friendly design, but design nonetheless. I noticed the insta share did have an author name still.

This - almost- feels like a deal breaker, the main value of the blog is in discussion more then actual content. They stripped an important aspect away of knowing what sort of discussion y our about to enter.(or an empty hallway)

Curious what the devs will do next  to make this worse

Oh, I see, sorry. I hadn’t noticed they only show comment tallies on embiggened posts.

Damn, they really are trying to kill this place.

I get the sense that the Kinja team isn’t receiving enough feedback about this... Considering that none of this has been announced in the Changelog (yet?), we have every reason to believe that it’s a glitch. Now where’s that link for sending bug reports... ?

It’s as useful as a spee dometer without numbers.

can the mods (or people posting) just embiggen all the posts?

That would solve the problem, no?

It would make the home page a little less pleasant than before, since posts like this with a tall image would take up half the screen.

Yep, I recommended we start doing it in the comments  on Skyfire’s post.
