Aren't "noteworthy functions" Web 2.0 cliches in and of themselves? :P

I miss the listing of all the day's story in one long text listing, with links, bylines and 7 days of such long text link.l

Using Blind Lynx, it was a far far better navigation and one got used to Star style, such as it was in the writing.

I'd like them and the Gazoo to adopt these 'styles' for the busy and the blind.

You can hit the space bar on your computer to scroll down a page. Much more efficient than grabbing the scroll bar with the mouse or using the down arrow key. An old navigation tip that precedes the browser, but which few people know about.

I've been a regular visitor tot thestar.com since I first had regular access to the internet in 1997. Multiple times thestar.com has redesigned and the benefits have been evident to me days after the new look was introduced.
These recent design changes are not coming to me a quickly as previous ones. I'm clicking and scrolling more than previous changes.

The one instant plus is the timeline providing me with the latest stories.

No choice but to learn how to make the new layout work for me.
