Dilbert Goes Flash, Readers Revolt

spagiola writes "The Dilbert.com website just got an extreme makeover. Gone is the old, rather clunky but perfectly functional, website, replaced by a Flash-heavy website that only Mordac the Preventer of Information Services could love. Users have been pretty unanimous in condemning the changes. Among the politer comments: 'Congrats. Vista is no more lonely at the top in the Competition For The Worst Upgrade In Computing Industry, this web site upgrade being a serious contender.' You have to register to leave comments, but many seem to have registered for the express purpose of panning the new design."

    Disable Javascript. All the old behaviour comes back. Alternatively, go into Help & Preferences, Posting and select Slashdot Classic Discussion System.

    Do you really think that pointing out the blatantly obvious is helpful in any way?

    His point had nothing to do with whether there are other options. His point was that the new design was intended to be an improvement and in many ways, it is not. This is a completely separate issue from whether other options are available. You are able to see that there is a difference, right? Right??

    Oh noez!!! Someone on the internets made fun of something I take vry srsly!!!!

    Scrape the sand out of your vagina and man up. If you can't take people making fun of things you like, you have no right to laugh at jokes about anyone else either. There is humor in everything in life. Getting all butthurt when someone touches on your pet interest is a sure way to go through life all teary eyed and angsty (which you seem to have decided on).
