what is up with your desktop site. It keeps bouncing around between two formats. One wont load the comments on articles I have commented on. Get this fixed!!! It has been ongoing for over a week. Geez. How hard can this be.

Hi,

We're transitioning our website from a static one to a more dynamic and multi-platform friendly one. This is happening in phases hence you may experience some interim mismatch between formats.

Hope this helps, Feel free to reach out in case further assistance is required.

You guys are making it very difficult to impossible for desktop users - optimizing for mobile devices has destroyed multiple website functions in browsers.

The website format for PC browsers has changed for "news" articles - you can't hide the portfolio on the left side, and there's also new garbage on the right side when you first load an news page, then when you click on the bell to see notifications that space of the right side of the article text is filled up with a massively wide notification column - those two columns consume >1/2 of the screen space! And comments are all screwed up, many are hidden, requiring extra clicks to load ones you haven't read yet - and with the new page format if I click on "reply" I get taken to a Yikes! error page, and worse, the back arrow is disabled so your stuck on the error page! You guys have ruined your own website as a source of news for desktop browsers. And yeah, I've tried several Mozilla bases browsers, it happens in all of them, you cannot "reply" to an existing comment without that "Yikes" error. Thank god SA hasn't changed the format of articles written by contributors - they still use the orange "new comment" icon you can click on to autoscroll down to the next unread comment, no comments are hidden, and the wasted space of the right and left sides of the pages the news articles have don't exist either - you guys had better not change the format of articles or you'll lose more readers than I can count!

Screenshots of the working type of articles, one of the new ruined news ones, and the Yikes error page that you get stuck on and cannot recover from:
