Your feedback (and bug reports) on Windows Central's new homepage

I do not like the new design. It is hard to figure out what is new what is old. The different sections is nice but does not give enough information about each section. I liked the vertical scrolling much better. This layout needs more work.

Something weird with the icons for "Best Things". At a certain Window size they all align nicely in a single row. But make the Windows Smaller and the "Best Xbox One Games" and "Best Xbox One headsets" disappear.

Even stranger, when using Edge, making the Window wider and the headsets will drop to a second line.

Also in Edge, the columns don't align correctly, causing it to display only one column while there's room for three. Resulting in a lot of white space...

I can't stand it. This site was so much better until your last change. Now this change has made it even worse. Having a modern look should come after having a easy to navigate, functioning website. As of now, we have a modern cluster of a site that is confusing to navigate and takes longer to find what you're looking for. It reminds me of going from Windows Phone to Android. Use a Windows Phone and get used to how easy it is to use and how finding everything just makes sense, and then pick up an Android phone and see how quickly that changes. The phone might be nicer, but it's 2 steps back in every other way. That's what we have here.

I literally went from coming to this site every day before your last update to coming maybe once or twice a week after. Now with this update, I will be coming even less than that. When using a site, or a phone or anything else that should bring me pleasure ends up feeling like work, it's time to move on. Unfortunately, using and navigating this site is just plain frustrating and feels like more trouble than it's worth. Combine that with an app that freezes for 20 seconds at a time and doesn't allow me to post a comment (on Windows Mobile) and there is no reason to be a part of this site and community anymore. It's a shame, used to be my favorite destination on the web.

its just way too much. trying to be organized is a good theory but like pocketnow the site just looks confusing. the blog page will get the most traffic I suspect.

Same issues as reported about with IE11 on Windows 10. Can't check the box to make the most recent the homepage and the more icon at the bottom doesn't do anything.

The home page might be practical for some tablet, but tablets are now declining. All these responsive designs created mainly for tablet will take the Windows 8 success story (R.I.P). For me, the "Most Recent/Show More" page (https://www.windowscentral.com/blog?utm_source=wp&utm_medium=block_title&utm_campaign=navigation) works best so I have directly bookmarked it, and won't be accessing the home page.

Less user-friendly than previous versions. Lay-out Tip:change is not always better.... Coca-Cola hardly didn't change their logo since 1887, but hey who the heck is Coca Cola.....

It is terrible in Edge.

I hate the new design! I already find myself visiting the site less because of it. It's just a cluttered mess with stuff everywhere.. Not good!

Let's be honest here. The new headline font is an abomination. Putting the overshoot below the baseline is one of the worst things you can do from a readability standpoint. It almost makes my head hurt trying to get through the headlines. Please, please rethink this choice - it doesn't make the homepage "cool", just ugly and hard to read.
