Orange Battery Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I love Neowin, I'm on it all the time, but it drives me crazy that I have to go straight to the forum page now just because the front page takes time to scroll past. I could understand the top three latest posts having big pics but the old news? Why? Please change it back, this is one of those occasions where its really not working. Thanks :-) Raa 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I could understand the top three latest posts having big pics but the old news? Why?Switch it to headline view.. tiny images for the older news. Personally list view hits the sweet spot though for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerowen Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I mentioned the fact that everything seemed huge in a separate topic reviewing the new theme. Even when I'm logged in, between the banner ad, navigation bar, and the HUGE images linking to recent reviews, about 75% of my screen space is filled up so I can't even see all of the recently updated forum topics without scrolling down. I can IF I'm on my destop which runs at 1680x1050, but not on my laptop. I can only imagine how huge it all looks on a tablet. When I brought this up in that separate topic, the first reply I got from a global mod was something to the effect of, "PUHLEASE!", so I'm guessing they're pretty well set on keeping everything ridiculously large. The "headline" and "list" views for the news topics on down the page is nice, but there ought to be a setting to shrink down all the other stuff. There is much less information readily available without having to scroll around the page. Raa 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerowen Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Solution, :P Zoom out to about 67% original size when on Neowin, :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Zoom out to about 67% original size when on Neowin, :p You should see it on a 1440p screen at 100% zoom - looks beautiful. Gerowen 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 While you're at it fix the sorting on front page comments problem. I have to keep changing it to sort by oldest first at least once a day and it's getting tedious. Raa 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan R. Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I must be missing something because it doesn't make sense that you are going to the forums to find something that you have to scroll too much to see on the front page. What are you finding better in the forums that is on the front page? Dot Matrix 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashel Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 He's saying he finds the mini-spy on the forums easier to review than from the homepage, since it doesn't require scrolling. Its a little better if you use less horizontal so the 'responsive' design sticks with the 2nd notch. Are the huge globs at the top supposed to represent top trending articles or something? Seems they always show old crap, and never a current major headline. i.e. I've yet to click on one of them so why do they deserve such importance vs the things we do want, like the minispy.

Nick H. Supervisor Posted September 17, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's not going to change. There are workarounds for those people that do have an problem with the size, such as switching it to headline view so that you have more news articles appearing within the window, and also using Ctrl + - to zoom out of the page. I then just hit Ctrl + 0 when I hop over to the forums. There is already a thread for feedback, please use that rather than creating numerous threads on the same subject.
