I agree. The web site looks broken. Vast fields of white with scattered text here and there

[Clifford Nelson]

I definately do not like the loss of visible content due to excessive spacing. Please fix

[Ennis Ray Lynch Jr]

In the Page Style drop down you can select the old style and the entire site reverts to the old look and feel so everyone is happy.

Well said,. Whilst I quite like the new look, the vast acreage of white space is ridiculous. :thumbsup:

Page Style drop down? Is this for real, or it's been hard-coded to be hidden from me? :confused:

It's for real.  But there's some crafty JavaScript that only makes it visible for users whose first name is "Ennis Ray". :) /ravi

Well stated, Ravi! :-D

I agree. I liked the old style better. Easy to navigate and very little wasted space. I want content, not acres of empty white page.

Or the crafty 'fluid' link at the middle and very bottom of every page :)

Pure evil, I like your style.

Much hate for you for giving me a sudden hit of false hope.

[BobJanova]

I use the fluid layout, there's still lots of wasted vertical space.

The excess vertical margins around text works when you want people to be able to click links with their fingers.  On a desktop or laptop screen, it only serves to reduce the amount of material visible on a page

Is it too much work to auto-detect the requesting device and render the appropriate version of the page? i.e. big space for tap (mobile device) , small spacefor click (laptop)?

It's possible, but that requires more work.  Given that the CP staff are already working around the clock, I'm hoping they can address the 80/20 use case first. /ravi
