Thanks for the reply. Yeah, blog has a cache-lag. A fair number seems to be missing from /post, so maybe not so rare.

I’m switching between the two at the moment to make sure I get the new articles and to make sure I don’t miss anything.
Is the time of the posting a standard time, or does it reflect the time where the poster is?
As long as they’re not crazy and running it on one of the commercial UNIcs. Friggin non-standard cron formats…
(Especially IBM with their ORs instead of ANDs for some fields)
Not to sound like a compete douchenozzle here but I look at the archive.org link and what we have today and I think to myself, “this is supposed to be progress?” Then again I am also one of those weirdos that loves the new ascii view so I’m sure my opinion doesn’t hold much weight.
Yeah I can’t figure out how having things randomly all the page with nothing but pictures and headlines is preferable. Everything seems to be going this way though. The new PLEX apps are the same giant random sized images all over the place.
Is there something wrong with just a plain old blog style view, headline, picture, excerpt from the post, all in a nice order.
It’s not just you. The “classic” layout was the most usable one in my opinion.When they changed the layout the last time it caused quite a stir too. It wasn’t long before everyone figured out the /page/1 view and updated their bookmarks accordingly.
Unfortunately, with this update gave us 3 views (4 if you consider the grid usable) and none of them work right. Right now I have 3 different tabs open for BoingBoing and each one is showing different content. And it not just a problem of out-of-date content. I can find entries in each view that do not show in the others.
I am not sure what UX problems the new layouts are supposed to solve, but at this point shouldn’t they just call this a failed experiment and roll the changes back?
It was always like that. On the version before this current version I was using the front page, but when you went to page two and three stuff I had never seen would show, and things would be in different orders.
The site has had random weird issues ever since it was last messed with. Links that wouldn’t work, Totally random formatting…
The new layout sucks. AND WHY DID YOU REMOVE THE BLOG link. Boxes, boxes everywhere and it all sucks. Stop trying to design and fix shit that wasn’t broken in the first place. BOING BOING IS A BLOG. Keep it looking like one and abandon the stupid grid.
Thanks.
