For real.... Here is my pain. For the most part I really like slashdot I don't participate in the conversation, but I enjoy the articles and reading the comments...
I got a iPad 1 when it came out as a promotion for a company who I manage a large instance of their software. Now I also have NO windows or Mac computers, I had to use a friends computer to set it up when I got it. Me not being much of a tablet guy don't use it for much but browsing on the couch when I am relaxing at home, which the iPad is perfect for.... However I have never updated this iPad so he iOS version is the stock one from when I got it years ago....
Slashdot worked great on it..... Then the redesign happened..... and it does not work, page just comes up blank. I can't get to classic.slashdot.org as that redirects to slashdot.org then you have to click on the classic link to get it to work.... So slashdot is no more on my iPad.....
Also the current design sucks on my android jelly bean phone , it is slow and clunky, so I run that in classic mode because at least it would load so I could get to the link to get classic.slashdot.org....
The new design crashes while loading beta.slashdot.org on my iPad...... On my phone, I can't find the button to switch layouts( headline and classic ). On top of that, I can scroll to the right to the point where you can't see any content.
Basically just go back to the layout from a year or 2 ago.... I was fine and worked well on all devices... Changing just to do so and breaking the site on devices is counter to what should be done.
