Home - The Globe and Mail (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/)

Thought I hit the wrong bookmark......

Yea "Safari can't open the page" is quite the improvement.
;)

Wow you are correct :eek: Camino is fine

Oops spoke too soon - down competely

that's one (10?) web developers chair I'm glad I'm not in right now.

I knew I should have taken a screen shot.

Grabbed it from history - does not do it justice.

Where's the "Indifferent" option?

+1
can not open so i can not vote or have an opinion
:confused:

I guess they hire some summer stock student, with a PC netbook to design it.

you get what you pay for. ;)

I send 'report bug to apple' LOL - will see what happens.

Where's the; "Never go there" option.:D

It's across all browsers from what I can tell. Face plant.

Indifferent???.....don't vote....we don''t care ;)

I didn't. :lmao:

...but the Globe included that in their poll, which you can't see at the moment, so they CARE.

I missed that :D....some progress... we have a header now - it's pretty clean - maybe a tad on the colour rich end.

+1 - the Globe & Mail hasn't been good since the early eighties, changing the web site won't help...

Up now....very easy to read online :clap: - bit too much red.

I still kind of miss the stodgy old b&w Globe, with a 2-page sports section called "Sport".

First impression of the new site: don't like it.

The rollout is some kind of joke. In addition to all the downtime, glitches and sluggish performance, it looks like all existing comment threads have been zapped. And let's just see if the new comment system is any good.

The old one was quite simply terrible, not least because the moderation system left the field wide open for trolls. Unless the new system comes with a new moderation philosophy (or even just the ability to ignore particular users), no amount of technical improvement will help. Too busy to go check it out right now...

Looks just like every other site being designed these days.

This is very readable for a Newspaper site - much cleaner than most

Ignatieff taps high-powered economic braintrust - The Globe and Mail (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ignatieff-taps-high-powered-economic-braintrust/article1145799/)

i thought the globe had a really unique and interesting look before, now it looks cheesy and anonymous. i tried to comment, but it won't let me register. tried to let them know through 'contact'. that didn't work either. oh well...

Where's the "until G&M stops sending me junk mail I never asked for I'm not interested" option??? Today it was an "exclusive ad", whatever that means, for the Ford Fusion. I hit the unsubscribe link EVERY time I get one of these things (3 or 4 a week) and it has no effect. G&M is a Spammer!!

Up now....very easy to read online :clap: - bit too much red.
Yeah, Red's the word! Any more Red and Pravda would put them down for being excessive...

Ditto.

Ditto.
Dittos were cool - kids just don't get the same quality with flashy new photostats.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Globe & Mail goes under, and it wouldn't surprise me if no one noticed.

Sometimes teachers could get up to four colours out of them - this wierd reddish-purple, dark blue, and a kind of green wannabe. But then again, I never had a ditto completely bond to a ring binder, something that happens with photocopies all the time. All of the work that went into dittoing made sure that the teacher was only dishing out that which would be useful and correct. In this photocopy age, it's all about getting copies that are riddled with mistakes.

Just wait until some moron activist discovers that photocopiers spew out ozone, and uses that as a convienient sop to explain why their child is somewhat less than average in the brains department - then the schools will have to go out and buy all new ditto machines.

It's like that with anything like schools. Like when they freak out about asbestos. So sure, go through all of this stuff removing it and miseducating kids about it - but don't teach them anything about crossing the street, so they can easily be killed in front of the university. At least they were squashed by a garbage truck, rather than getting asbestosis.

But then, the topic is the Globe & Fail... Is it even in business anymore? Does anyone care? If anyone has read that rag lately - do they take most of their stuff off the internet directly, or do they just plagurize?

The new "site" sucks - it's like five minutes to load a page, and even when it displays, it is busy downloading crud in the background...

...plagurize?

Whatever the source of their material, I'm sure they still run spell-checks before publishing.

The G&M did have better spelling, at least in the old days when I used to read it. The Spec saves a lot of time and effort by eliminating the frills, like spell checking, editing, proof reading, etc., and I think TorStar will use those cost saving measures so that their papers can attain the same nadir as Hamilton's own rag.
