I just need to say

that this front page ‘thing’ is becoming increasingly annoying. I can get this page through Archives, but the little fanpost from Jens about Stuart O’Grady is almost a lost cause. At this point, unless you’re above the fold on the front page, you might as well accept that many people will miss what you’ve posted. Is there any hope of resolution or is this now the way things will be?
And while I’m in snark mode, please don’t make this about regions. From what I’ve read it seems that random people from many places are facing the same predicament.

Have you reported the problem to SB nation

I’m thinking if it’s a tech issue it would have to be addressed that way.

No I haven't, but thanks for the suggestion

Because there has been extensive discussion on two threads about it, I obviously (erroneously) assumed that those further ‘up the line’ would have done so. This by the way isn’t me being bitchy, just explaining that i have obviously misunderstood certain things. For me, the fact that people like Lou and Bruce also reported similar problems suggested it was serious. I realise my own technological ineptitude is well documented.

Yes, it's obvy a tech issue

You can send it to SB N. You can also send an email to Chris or I explaining the problem and Chris will bump it up the chain. We need to know exactly what the problem is and what browser you are using. It is very likely browser specific – which means “they” may need to alter some code to make it work for your browser. Honestly, I still don’t quite understand what the problem is, myself.

Stuff like this will get buried it it’s only in the comment threads.

The front page doesn't load

that’s the problem (I have) and it really is annoying. Doesn’t matter if I’m using IE (8) or chrome, takes multiple refreshes or as Seahorse did, get in through archives.

I think this is the place to report your issues

SB Nation

It’s probably better if those who have problems contact them than Chris. You are in a better position to say what’s wrong.

And remember, in the spirit of CTV: The problem is always on your end.
