Bad things coming to Kinja?

So I visited Kotaku and it barfed this mess up my screen:

And it doesn’t get any better if you scroll down:

As a regular reader, this seems astoundingly useless, and I’m sure it’s coming for the rest of the Kinjaverse soon. I guess !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!  is usable.

just click “latest” and it returns to normal

They’ve done that with Gizmodo and A/V Club too. Clicking the Latest button fixes it but they shouldn’t make people do that every single time they go to the site.

Yeah, they pulled this on AV Club and then Giz; I can only imagine it’s coming for Jalop next.

Meanwhile, image upload and commenting are still hopelessly broken.

I’d imagine I’ll be going directly to the /lastest url every time to avoid that

And now you’ve barfed it up here.  Well done.

That’s the best way. My issue is that I have a habit of going to the sites by clicking the links at the top of the page which, of course, takes you to their default, fucked up, page.

I’m even getting scab writers on Deadspin I have never heard of showing up in my dashboard feed, for some reason.

I can’t even click on Giz anymore. I just scroll through my follow list to click on Dell Cameron and Matt Novak to avoid the eyesore that is the actual site.

Still using Kinja’s “Dashboard” to avoid front pages here. Damn, I didn’t realize it had gotten t his bad.

Yep, I use that for for some sites, but not all of them.

I thought you were referring to Fall Guys, the very colorful game that takes up most of page one...

It’s a really fun game, and surprisingly stable with online servers built for 60 squishy players.

Would reccomend.
