comment of the week
congrats John & crew. it will take a bit of getting used to, but it does look all new and shiny.
HOWEVER, i think you should bring back the old logo -- kitschy-retro is always in and it is a beloved icon. as proof: my 14 year old nephew thought it was "cool" the moment I first showed him the C&L site [gotta start 'em young]. And one other picky point -- you should never have your graphic/photo/illustration looking off the page, flip tricky-dick and bring the reader's eye in.
Wow.
It's kind of like when your parents renovate the house you grew up in..
Makes me feel old. I'll get used to it, but I have to say I winced a little bit when I walked up... This place is so much a part of me now, it's more than a minor shock...
(and what's with the math questions? Are ya'll screening out the red-staters?)
Call me nostaligic, but I really miss the left hand navigation which included an index of subject areas and people. It wasn't something I really used often, but it somehow grounded the site for me.
I'm sure I'll get used to this new format.
Glad you kept Koufax!! (It's a personal fave).
It looks nice and loaded for me much quicker than it normally does.
Bring back The Big Blue Button!!!
:)
I think the new look is really beautiful!
Okay, the calculating question part of posting in the comments might trip me up if the level gets much harder than the question I had to answer.
I'm glad there's a new layout for the site as the old C&L would easily get 70%-100% constant cpu usage using firefox. With this update it's much better but I still get 10%-30% cpu usage constantly. Is it because of all the videos on the site? Or maybe a combination of firefox extensions and videos? I don't know I'm just thankful because I can actually leave the webpage open now as it doesn't bring my system to a crawl anymore.
To be honest...i hate the new look....why does everything have to be updated, changed, redone???? What possible difference could it make except having to recalibrate your whole internal clock settings for something that's not really worth resetting??!! For what?? Honest to christ......go back to the old colors, the look,.....it just doesn't do anything for me...in fact it's too much....in fact this is just more of the same thing everywhere and anywhere in this damn place, country etc,...yes country! ....tear down the old building to make way for the new....restyle, remodel, remake.........look...how long did they have the Heinz ketchup bottle without changing the style-brand-colors-look-feel-etc-etc-etc of the damn thing???!!!!?....... some things you get used to...it becomes part of the inside-the-brain-interior-landscape. It's familiar. Things turnover much too rapidly these days and Im not much sure if it's ever for the better. see you guys from time to time...i'm gonna go look for something a little more permanent.....
C&L still causes Firefox to use 100% cpu. What's up with this? This is the only site I regularly visit that causes this.
I spoke too soon. I still get 70-100% cpu usage. I'm guessing it's all the videos on the site. I used the No Script extension for firefox and set it to block scripts and the videos didn't preload on the page and cpu went back to 0%. But that doesn't help because I do want to watch a lot of videos on the site. It's annoying.
