Put a BLOG link at the top of the main page, please.
All of the variants, including the default, solve the problem I had with the previous design, which was that my brain never learned to process the side-by-side-but-not-related vertical streams of content.
And the aesthetic is generally and effectively boing-boingy so thatās good.
And I appreciate the fan service of providing the /blog variant.
And I assume that the experiment with all-caps titles will eventually end, as all experiments with all-caps do.
So Iām happy so thanks.
It is under the menu, so there just not directly. Besides isnāt that what a bookmark is for?
Did you join just to complain? @beschizza has been quite hard at work getting all the bugs worked out and has been doing a good job so far I think.

I think the reason may be that the comments youāre seeing repeated are replying to more than one other comment at the same time, so the new comment shows up as a reply to each of the comments that are being replied to. (Not part of the new changes.)

As a long time user who used http://boingboing.net/page/1 after the last redesign, Iām sorry to see the site has gone all whitespace with a weird layout again. The http://boingboing.net/category/post URL works, sort of, if you hold down CTRL and scroll the mousewheel back a couple of notches.
I donāt use mobile, I have twin 24" monitors and I just want my old, readable BoingBoing back again. Please?

Hasnāt anyone made a greasemonkey script to āfixā the CSS yet?

The comments/forum donāt appear to work at all on IE (at least IE11) - you just get a blank page. The blog part works fine in IE, itās just the comments that are gone. Itās not that big a deal, of course, but I donāt see anyone else mentioning it after several days, so thought Iād bring it up. Iām just curious if disabling both reading and writing comments in IE was on purpose or not.
The BBS works fine for me in IE11. In fact, Iām writing this comment on IE11 right now.
I was sure I tried this on more than one machine, but it I guess I imagined that - sorry for the bad QA work. I just tried this page on another box or two and apparently itās just my primary machine thatās affected. I guess now I get to play āfind the setting I inadvertently changedā. Thanks for the help - hope I can figure out what I did wrongā¦
Besides using IE? 
Check compatablity mode. I have to turn that on for a bunch of stuff for work things cause IE11 wonāt work. Happily they are moving away from that buy way too slowly for my liking.
When I do use it, IE11 works just fine for me. It has a bad rep, but itās not so bad as long as you donāt mind not having access to an ad blocker.
Turns out I had āDisplay Mixed Contentā set to āDisabledā. Changing it to āPromptā allows the page to loadā¦ without any prompt, which is a little weird - I was kind of expecting some actual mixed content to be the problem, seeing as how thatās what the setting is named and all that, but whatever.
Honestly, after being a decade-plus reader of BoingBoing, this site jumped the shark for me after the last redesign. I havenāt visited much in the past 6 months.
Sad to see another once-cherished site reinvent itself into nothingness.

I find it hilarious when people say this, when there are perfectly good RSS readers all over the dang place. I havenāt visited the homepage of BB in probably 2-3 years of near-daily reading. The only reason I knew there was a redesign was because the individual article pages changed a little bit, so I had to adjust where I looked for the comments link.
