Don’t worry readers, I’m trying an experiment. WUWT has looked the same for about 3 years, so I’m giving it a makeover. I’ve activated a newly designed theme for WUWT. This one has advantages over the old one in that it does a better job of supporting newer hi-res monitors such as the 20-24″ LCD/HDTV models that are becoming popular.
It also provides for larger text and images, better visibility of links, plus a few other features including a custom background which I’ll get to later.
In the meantime, let me know what you think in the poll below.
Sadly, no I still can’t offer an edit feature. wordpress.com hosting doesn’t support it.
UPDATE: Some readers say they can’t see links on the right side. They are there, try the horizontal scrollbar or set your monitor to a higher resolution. Also, wordpress during the upgrade nuked all my widgets on the right hand side, working to restore them -A
UPDATE: all the sidebar widgets are now restored. -A
UPDATE from CTM: Firefox users should install the CA assistant and greasemonkey.

This gives you full previews and some preview and formatting buttons.
Make sure to set your installation settings to not hide old comments or much will disappear.
Comment Tab:
- “Old” and “New” comments are defined by age in hours.
- You can hide all old comments (default: 48 hours). Hiding older comments is a great way to simplify your view of more intense discussions. (On Lucia and RomanM’s sites, the content of old contents disappears, but Author/Date remain. Nice!)
Except that it screwed up my email appearance, back to the drawing board, I guess.

Thanks, history and cookies cleared several times, but nothing seems to work.
The options on privacy do not set, they go back to “history”, instead of “custom”.
In one of the googled files I tried to post and the scrambled number was wrong and my feedback would not be allowed :(. There was a security updated on Firefox on April 4 and I wonder whether that is the problem ( version of F 3.6.3)
Like the “old one” better — more information closer at hand (eye) — but then I tend to like tradition. Since I think WUWT is an amazing tradition, I am not so keen on change. Nevertheless, whatever you want is fine with me.
Anna v,
I use the same version of Firefox,I update as the newer version comes out and besides the problems described above, mine works fine. My FF home page has Google search box as default. If you go to WUWT, then Tools-Page info-Permissions and check all boxes. Security will tell you have many times,in total you have visited WUWT.!
If that does not help perhaps I can guide you as to the layout under ‘Tools’ that seems to work for me.
Keith.
This question and its answer are probably somewhere in the 429 comments: why am I not seeing about 25% of the visual images?
Keith Minto,
There is a wordpress blog by ChiefIO ( link in panel on the right)
which still keeps my name and e-mail in the form.
The only difference I see in the pageinfo is
in the general, under Name and Content
the information is repeated in a line
text/html; charset=UTF-8
which is gray for wattsupwiththat.
I cannot add it.
the rest are the same
Anything that is easier to read is better – function is what counts.
Much blog software is not nearly user friendly enough, and has functional defects. But you know the Internet – full of two-year-olds.
Thanks.
Over at Lucia’s I retain my name and e-mail on the form now.
Her Pageinfo also has a line with the UTF etc in the panel.
I am fed up with losing posts because of forgetting the form does not hold 🙁 .
This is a retry of the advice Kadaka gave me of going to tools>privacy.
The custom setting would not be preserved, until I also checked the history and checked in the settings a few things.
Now it is set at custom, so maybe it will work .
keeping my fingers crossed
REPLY: The issue is still being worked on by WordPress.
HipHip etc.
It worked, and I am getting “waiting for moderation” too.
thanks
Lost it overnight. 🙁
settings changed to only erase “browsing history”.
Logged out, then logged in. my name and e-mail are retained.
What seems to be working is:
tools>options>privacy
“Firefox will “: chose “custom settings for history ”
“when using the location bar suggest” chose “nothing”
and have blanked all choices in “settings”
I hope my last on this.
I am back to the default privacy
and history and the name and e-mail are retained.
It looks as if a comb went through and untangled it!!!
On the other hand, pixies must have adjusted to the computer age.
Rockin artice, cheers! can someone tell me how to get the little avatars to show up in my comments section? thanx!
We don’t enable avatars here, never have – Anthony
