    Single-page layout option? Last reply on March 04, 2008 23:06.

    Hey, NYT!

    I read you obsessively (honestly, it's like a disease), and for the most part love the site. However, one thing I'd love to change is the single-page/multiple page layout.

    Once I'm signed in as me, I'd like to be able to a default as to whether I get stories broken up into multiple pages or all on a single page. I can only assume the convention of breaking it up started back when everyone had dialup and loading a long story took too long, but by now it seems a moot point. I also can't imagine breaking it up is so you can sell more ads, since showing the story on a single page gives you more space down the sides to put ads. (What IS the reason you still break it up?)

    Anyway, I've solved the problem for myself by using Firefox with Greasemonkey and a script which switches automatically to single-page. However, this seems a convoluted work-around for something which should be easy to fix.

    Thanks!
