Fixing what wasn't broken - again

[wiseheart]

I HATE the new look of FF.Net! Everything is pressed into the middle of the screen, big, empty spaces on either side, stupid avatar icons taking up so much space that they don't even match the story they belong to... why the hell did they do that?

I hate it too and am sure comments and views are down as result.

It looks terrible. Today when I went on, they've changed the order of the titles within each category so they're in order of how many stories have been posted instead of alphabetical order. This makes no sense and makes it difficult to find any category without scrolling down long lists of titles. Are they trying to drive people away from the site by making it more difficult to navigate their site? No wonder some people are abandoning their site and going elsewhere.

IKR? Looks like they are going commercial. I'm pretty sure those *empty* spaces will be filled by ads sooner or later...

Do you have an AO3 account? If you don't I could ask my flist for an invite, someone is bound to have one (or more!).

Why does FF.net do anything? "We break things that work just fine as is!" should be the site's motto!

I know this post is late to this discussion, but, the change in format at FFN is so it will look good on tablets and e-readers. The rest of us using the site on lap tops and pc can all just go to hell I guess,
