About road.cc’s new design: what we've changed and why

Getting used to it slowly.  If I could request one thing it would be a mode where all content is listed in 'most recent' order regardless of type or priority...?

Not liking that latest comments are on one page only and that you have to swipe across to see them.
Whereas other items are listed vertically.
Much better when latest comments was visible across the site.

I miss the listing of the most recent comments that used to float under the adverts on the right hand side of the page. Is that coming back?

Please remove link hijacking on embedded tweets sources (they wrongly go via Skim Resources the same as ad referrals). Also pretty sure against Twitter /IG TOS.

Edit: typo.

Top bar rollover for latest news is clever, I likey lots (although I'm currently getting a couple of broken images when hovering over road.cc, which are: NMOTD and LiveBlog.

Also search in the top bar is very logical, good positioning for that.

Single sign on is great.

Loving the new live blog format. 

Getting used to the new layout and seemingly extra content view on the home page, but loving the lack of duplication.

After an initial shock, I'm loving the comments changes, they seem more logical in a slightly strange way.. cause.. new. 

Is there a new font being used or font size? I can't reference the old site so can't quite put my finger on it.. either or, the site just seems calmer and more serene because of it. 

Top job team.

Also, today I discovered a new squirrel - 'Malabar giant squirrel', you're welcome.

I just haven't come back to the site so often since the change. I mainly look on desktop and half of the screen is now ad space. I can't tell what is new or old, it's just a mess. I hope this works for you on mobile, but it isn't working for me. 

Defaulting to threaded comments is fine if that's what the demand is for and there's a way to switch views*, but it's pretty infuriating that it doesn't remember my preference, so I have to toggle the view on every page I visit. Hoping this is a bug, rather than a design decision?

[*although this is no longer working properly for me on Galaxy Tab S4 - it was initially, but now I can't select from the menu using touch - have to connect an external keyboard and use arrow keys and Enter. It also doesn't recognise me tapping the comment area to begin writing - have to tab into put using the external keyboard.]

I'm quite happy to pay for an ad free login, but I'm not sure the option is available. Other sites use this facility but maybe it is a scalable option only.

I'm sorry Dave but it really doesn't work for me. I don't want to spend so much of my data allowance on sucking down adverts, since nothing seems to work if I'm using an ad blocker . I liked being able to see latest comments on a forum post or article, before logging back in. Doesn't work for me at all, I'm afraid.

By the way. particularly like the summary on the live blog allowing you to jump to a story of interest

> And hawkinspeter can't upload any squirrel images.

Literally laughed out loud at this. He must be going nuts!

Seems to be an issue with loading the comments on the desktop version, butis okay on mobile - which is my main device for accessing the site.

Although this could be related to ad-blockers (i run ABP on my laptop, and they loaded - a little slower than I would like - after I disabled it for the site). I notice someone else commented they had something similar with μBlock.

Anyway, appreciate the work done by the tech fairies (and all the hacks banging away at keyboards to bring us all the content)
