A question for my readers

First, let me say thanks for stopping by on a daily basis, your continued patronage of this website in the fight against climate fanaticism is always appreciated. I’m considering some changes to WUWT’s formatting in the upcoming months to help keep important stories online longer, but before I do that I need the readers to answer a question that I can’t answer myself by looking at visitor data.

The question is: how do you see this website in your browser?

There’s three possible ways; the gallery format and the linear format, or mobile. Depending on your screen resolution and browser window size, one of these three presentations is possible.


GALLERY VIEW:

(larger screens and full width browser windows)

Gallery View of WUWT

LINEAR VIEW:

(smaller screens and smaller browser windows)


MOBILE VIEW:

(On phones)

Please tell me which view you normally see:

Your answer will help me make WUWT better.

Thanks, Anthony

I’d prefer gallery but Firefox gives me linear. And, I look at this site on my cell phone at times.

I use Firefox. I get gallery if I expand to the whole screen and linear if I reduce the Firefox window (which I do at work). 🙂

My Firefox shows me gallery for recent posts with linear below for aging posts.

I generally see the gallery view at the top, with all below that first set of 5 stories shown in linear, which is I assume what Anthony meant by the gallery view anyhow. Usually I’m on a laptop using firefox v56.x with about a 15.x” screen set to show my tabs vertically down the side rather than the normal horizontal tabs across the top. I tried to respond to the poll, but didn’t see a submit button and hitting “view results” didn’t do anything either – maybe because I’m a few days after the post was originally put up and it’s no longer active or something? Anyhow, fwiw that’s how I normally see WUWT.

Gallery view, while full screen with Firefox, IE and MS Edge.
I only use Firefox, but checked the others.
Chrome, hmmm… that’s by Google, no thanks.

Yep. Right now I’m viewing WUWT on a very limited browser called Dillo. It presents the stories vertically. I have a hunch that’s because it doesn’t do Java Script.
Firefox on the same (Ubuntu Linux) machine displays in Gallery format.
Ditto for Chromium-Browser, Konqueror, Qupzilla, Midori.
On any of those browsers, the stories display vertically if you resize the window so it’s only wide enough for one story.

Hmm. Firefox gives me my preferred gallery by default. 1680 x 1050 resolution – what’s yours?
(I avoid, if at all possible, getting onto a text-rich site with the cell phone. Way too much hassle to adjust for these aging eyes.)

I also usually see gallery, but sometimes linear. Maybe it is due to firefox/chrome differences. I do use different browsers (almost always on a laptop), but I hadn’t given it much thought until now.

Running Firefox on a 22″ display, I get Gallery unless I zoom in; then I get Linear.

May 10, 2018 10:32 am

Good question Anthony. Actually, when I use my mobile device I always use the WordPress App

I rarely come to the front page of the WUWT site, so I don’t have any preference between gallery and linear formats. I get email notifications of new articles, and I also subscribe via the Feedly news reader. So even though I rarely go directly to WUWT, I do manage to read half or more of the articles.

I’m like you. Today was the first day of a couple of years attendance I have visited the home page because I respond to the emails Anthony sends.
I’m running Windows 10 insider, with Opera as my preferred browser.
Today I see WUWT in GALLERY VIEW, as on most days.
From memory, my Samsung Galaxy 10 tablet is the same. I’m not sure about my iPhone 7 as I don’t usually use it to browse, but I can’t recall anything different on the occasions I have.
I should really post this independently…………Duh!

Gallery format, Chrome, either in the laptop screen or in a larger monitor.

I would just like clear delineation between the important top billing stories, and the most recent, so that I do not inadvertently see the top story, and think that no newer articles have been added.

May 10, 2018 10:38 am

Gallery format, Chrome, laptop screen or larger home monitor.

I get gallery or linear. If I zoom the website content, the page is linear. If not, it’s gallery. Depends on how large of type I need to comfortably read the screen and that varies from day to day. I use Safari.

Latitude, If you are running Firefox you can get an add-on that blocks scripts and other unwelcome stuff (NoScript), and it will allow the Tips page to load much quicker. My browser can load the entire page fairly quickly. I just tried the page and it took 90 seconds to load entirely.

May 10, 2018 10:49 am

Gallery, but hardly ever see the home page — always have a particular post showing (along w/a bunch of tabs on other sites). I just put Firefox on “work offline” when away and/or computer sleeping.

Using Chrome or Firefox, Gallery or Linear look identical.

I use Firefox with a 24″ screen. There is a top post then the next line is gallery then linear below that all the way down.
