Under the old system I could scan the headlines of all sections, not just a select two or three stories and easily see new news items and the time posted. The new format just has so much space wasted. The front page is much larger with much less useful information. Please let us know what is the upside for the TNT. Is it easier tracking or what? http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/online/2009/01/13/the_news_tribune_redesign_tell_us_what_y#c144829 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 01:45:48 +0000 Bandito c144807@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ The Firefox problem has been fixed. Kudos. Now I can zoom in or out to suit my window size. Those using the default setting didn't have a problem.

If you're going to say that you "hate it" then at least give one good reason why you have such a strong opinion. Better yet, how about trying to give at least one suggestion to improve this version. http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/online/2009/01/13/the_news_tribune_redesign_tell_us_what_y#c144798 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:25:46 +0000 katiestemp c144795@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ I like, seems more like a newspaper.

How about going back to the word "Home" instead of the small house icon? Or make the House icon bigger? Also, you need to have word wrap working when typing here vs using the return key, most other sites are set up that way. 2. I find the pages don't fully load sometimes and have to hit the "refresh" button. I use IE and now find this site is acting like the Seattle Times site, it doesn't load quickly, always a pause before I can scroll down the page. 3. Today I posted a comment on the Roads projects and I couldn't find my comment. There are 3 pages of comments and you can't read them all, when you go to either Page 2 or 3 the site takes you back to the home page. So far my opinion: TNT should have tested this a lot more in house before putting online The South Sound Marketplace is more ads and that's fine, but they sure are small. Also, I try to click on pictures about the plane crash or other articles to enlarge the pics and they don't do that. Would be nice if they did so you can see the detail in the pictures How about going back to the word "Home" instead of the small house icon?

But the new design is still awful. Go back to the old one. I have no opposition to change, but only if it is good. This change was not good. I agree with others who are chapped about "Seattle-Tacoma News". One, I want "Tacoma-Pierce County News" which is why I read the TNT and not the P-I or Times. Two, if you simply must use the whole region, at least as a courtesy to your mostly Pierce County residents, put Tacoma first. Still though, your best option would be to go back to the previous design. How many more people must tell you the new design is lame to get you to act?

This is a tough one to diagnose. I have FF 2.0.0 and FF 3.0.5 on my PC and have had no problems. FF 3.0.4 and Safari 3.2 on my Mac, also with no problems. I think you might have a CSS problem, because when I change the font size the overlapping disappears(decrease font) or gets worse(increase font). I have given it a few days to get corrected, but will start looking for a different online source for local news.

I don't want Seattle news nor do I care about what's happening in Seattle. That's why I read the News Tribune! At this rate, the word Tacoma is going to disappear from completely from our paper. It's time that the News Tribune started taking some pride in its own city. This "South Sound" and "Seattle" business is getting old fast. If a paper can't say where it's from, it has real problems. Bring back the words Tacoma and Tacoma area. http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/online/2009/01/13/the_news_tribune_redesign_tell_us_what_y#c144689 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 03:30:01 +0000 dlwashbu c144681@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ I liked the old way much better to.
