Ugh! Whoever is responsible for reformatting the look of some pages, like the Top News one that just changes format each time I refresh it, should be chastised. The S&P500 and other daily mini charts have disappeared, and page is harder to read.

The Dividend news page used to have tickers in the left column, which could be quickly and easily scanned. Those have now disappeared also. 

The slick look is new. But functionality is gone. Keep the slick new look, but add that old FUNCTIONALITY IN. Otherwise it is just fluff. 

Not acceptable! Just reloaded the Top News page 3 times, and got 3 different formats. What is going on? Are you guys at SA experimenting on viewers or what? PS> Beta testing should be done with a small group, not general SA users.

The spacing between lines is also too wide. the share button too big. the font cannot be customised. once i expand the zoom on google, i can read less than a single news item and i can only use roller to move. paging up and down goes haywire now. also if you click on a stock name, used to be able to see the company description which is very important. the new format is not as useful to me.  Right column used to have the index movements when reading the news, now its gone. very bad.

also please do not add redundant pics to the news which does not add any value. if there is analysis, then it makes sense. else, it takes effort to scroll the large pics too.

When we click on the company name, we need at the very minimum, company description and market cap. both of which are missing.

really! the old  "all news by date" page was so simple, so easy and such sense. Now with the mini pictures which are ridiiculous to begin with and the layout are so inferior to the old page. I understand people have to change things just because they can, and have to give someone some work, but what a mess you've made of it. Really a poor choice like many of the mistakes in your artices.

We are putting in a change to remove the marketing images from the premium scrolling experience. Thanks for the feedback.
