PA WEEKLY new online look is disappointing
Palo Alto Issues, posted by Mr. User Interface, a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Jul 19, 2007 at 12:11 pm

What gives with the "new look" of the PA Weekly Forum and online presentation?

Crowded text, hard to read light grey fonts, paragraphs not spaced - all contrasted with bright red links. This is the paper that just won an award? Don't muck it up. Chop chop!

Online users are people, too.

It appeared to me like that the other day, very annoying, but I am pleased to say that it has reverted back to its familiar easy to use style.

I'm still getting the unpleasant interface. I'm using Safari? Is this a browser problem?Anyone else?

I think it's the browser. I just tried FireFox and didn't have the problem.

It could also be that some postings are being held on a cache server before being let through? Hard to say.

Anyone?

I also have Safari, and the light gray print is very difficult to read. Print seems squeezed together.

The weekly needs to implement a CMS similar to the Chronicle.

Web Link

It let's you choose your own font and font size on the fly. Every article has the controls on the top. It stops the 'font is too X for me!' complaints. Choose your own!
