    • Not too bad I guess.
      Suffers now from Continual page Refreshes causing about 25%-40% increase in cpu usage when it happens. Try opening several articles into tabs and things get really crazy. Makes it almost unusable in my opinion (at least, for the way I work, which is to open many articles into tabs, and come back at times for periodic (hit and run) reading - cannot really do that now).
      Its to do with the way ad-refreshing is being handled. I wrote in about it.

      I agree the title is disproportionately large for what it probably needs to be. I mean, if you are having trouble reading and you make things bigger, the title gets ginormous. Also noticed the comment type is smaller... I would bet its too small for those complaining about type-size for reading.
      *I would think it better to be kept same size as posted font-size because once the reader adjusts font-sze display for reading, that's probably what's going to be easy for them to handle when typing as well.

      Anyone else notice the page refresh issue?

    • The font looks like a children's book. It's so much larger than all the other sites that it is hard to adjust every time you come to current. Does it really have to be so large? I mean seriously, it's like double the font of other websites.

      LOL jon...

      i can say for me: i use firefox, and to change the size of what's on the screen, i hold CTRL and roll the mouse wheel and it'll resize everything larger or smaller. also works for me at work where i use ie.

    • I like it.

      Only have one problem. I already sent in a report to support, but trying to send things to twitter gives me a bunch of weird characters.

      Good job!

      We've got a fix coming for that big Twitter share button, it is indeed broken, but, in the meantime, the Twitter link from the "share this" menu up next to the poster's name at top right does work correctly.
