Are you using the beta? Do you actually like it?

If you don't like us talking about the site we like then piss of to somewhere else and quit your whining.

Grow the fuck up and stop spamming the comments. The grown ups want to discuss the news.

This would come from a coward.

Why should people just lie-down and get rimmed, if you don't like something and you do nothing about it then you're a fucking pussy idiot.

Real adults know when to act decisively upon something, perhaps you're not an adult yet.

So shut the fuck up and get off of our site, COWARD.

Your summary misses a vital piece of information - on what possible grounds would the police body have for doing this, what rule does Wikipedia's fundraising break?

There won't be a decent place to "get back to discussing real issues?" if slashdot Beta goes ahead.

Yeah, fuck you too.

Sort out:
Black text, white background, anything else is absurd.

Ditch the boxes round the comments they are seriously ugly and not helpful.

When I ask for the desktop version, I want the desktop version FFS, my phones screen has the same resolution as some laptop screens.

Get rid of the option to choose all insightful, all interesting etc comments - it's pointless because of the crossover between these things and it would lead to some bizarre meaningless threads being displayed. Not useful.

Bring back the user info, friend foe, userid etc, slashdot looks raped without it.

Things worth keeping:
The ability to mod without scrolling to the bottom of the page and hitting the mod button (I open the post in a new page to mod it so as not to lose my place/it's quicker)

The ability to collapse threads.

But that's it, the rest is a seriously bad downgrade.

Things that should have been improved, why weren't they?
The text box I'm typing in right now is tiny - why?

There is 'allowed html' It would be nice to have some buttons to put those tags around some text when you highlight it.

To any damn fool who's answer is well 'why don't you go and re-write the code yourself', I have the question - why didn't you build your own house and car?

What makes slashdot great is there is often good debate in the comments, you don't get that so much on other sites. I don't think Dice understand that.

Doesn't work for me either, I don't get the desktop version on my large phone even though I asked for it and the mobile version simply isn't showing any comments, not that it matters since the beta ruins the whole comment system, can't see uid numbers, it's a horrible layout, stupid colours - grey on grey, as if it isn't hard enough to read text on a smart phone.

And the font looks like crap, I have an extension 'document font toggle' if I continue to visit slashdot after it's been horribly mangled then I'll not be allowing it to choose that god-awful font.

Having said that, if slashdot makes this new beta mandatory, I will 100% definitely be walking out for a couple of weeks to make my feelings felt, I recommend others do the same.

None of them have comment systems as good as slashdot CLASSIC, but it doesn't look like that'll be around for long. A shame because that's what kept visiting here for 14+ years.

Noctua fans x3, been in my case for years, practically silent.

Damn stock fan+HS that comes with intel, fine until it builds up a dust carpet and is a pig to clean.
