Older Article Navigation -- New Gawker Look and Feel Oct 15 09
The new page design is sleek, with the "Load More Posts" link at the bottom....but I tend to click into an article to read it, then back out using the browser's back button. Going back to the home page, I am stuck clicking that link again to see other older articles from the same time as the one I was looking at, as all additional posts that were loaded before are then hidden again.
Essentially, this is a hindrance for anyone trying to catch up on posts that are more than a few days old.

Inappropriate?Ha you and I posted about the same issue :P I'm sure it was thought of as a "feature".
I’m frustrated too

Inappropriate?yep.. Trying to "catch up" only made it to "give up"
TEST his stuff before release, PLEASE?
I’m Annoyed

Inappropriate?You know, I was enjoying permanent, faviconized Lifehacker and Gizmodo tabs. Maybe I'll just go back to rss. At least I can navigate there if I am away from my blogs for more than 1 day.
I’m disappointed.

Inappropriate?This "Load more posts" feature is absolutely disrupting the way I normally browse the blogs. It completely abandons functionality for what?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?It makes me stop reading the web site. I hate it.

Inappropriate?Add me to the list of frustrated users.
With commenting 2.0, the order is nonsensical (threaded, with most recent thread on top), and there's no way for even *registered* users to set it.
Worse, "load more posts" is required - requiring multiple clicks on long threads to view the entire list of comments.
Worst of all, "show hidden comments" preference is no longer persistent for non-logged-in users. You have to PgDn, "Show hidden comments", "load more posts" (and loop with PgDn/LoadMorePosts until there are no more "load more posts" buttons to click) in order to read the entire thread.
A user should not have to register with a website in order to read comments. Yet this is effectively what's required with all Gawker Media properties. Ridiculous. A persistent cookie would be fine, which Gawker had until the Octoberish change. Even Yahoo's pathetic stock market message boards are more functional.
I've cut back on my twice-daily Jalopnik fix down to once a week. I'm also now actively avoiding Gawker media sites, because the comments - which are what I come to any social media site for - while no better than they were before the redesigns, are no longer worth the hoops I have to jump through to read them. -
Inappropriate?YEAH They dumped load more posts. I can't think of any benefit to having a page a mile long even if it did work anyway. Thanks!
I’m relieved

Inappropriate?So glad the frustrating "load more posts" navigation "feature" was dropped. It was a momentary lapse of reason.
