[deadly7]

is everything wrong with webdesign today. ew.

[Sidoh]

so pompous!

[Blaze]

Only problem I have with it is the fixed header/menu, and somebody posted a fix in the comments.

[iago]

eww, minor change!

I'll continue reading slashdot through Twitter. I only need headlines anyway...

BLINDED!  BLINDED BY THE LIGHT.

Helping users spread articles written by other people in style!

[deadly7]

There's an overabundance of white space, for which there really isn't a fix unless they change the stylesheet. Everything goes vertically instead of horizontally wrt to the article. I don't care about firehose and the stupid tagging system, just let me read the article and easily get to the comments without unnecessary scrolling. And the fixed header/sidebar... whose idea was that?

[iago]

yeah, fixed headers/sidebars not only annoy my OCD "they aren't supposed to do that!" feelings, but they waste screen real estate for something I almost never want to click!

I'll continue reading slashdot through TwitterGoogle Reader. I only need headlines anyway...

Agreed

I only need headlines anyway...

I find myself reading the headline and saying, usually out loud, "Oh look, someone's doing this!", then I read the article for more information and find out the headline was misleading.

The quality of /. posts have declined by an obscene amount in the past few years.
