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)
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
Gallery, chrome.
I see Galley View in Opera, Firefox and Explorer bowsers, which becomes linear when I scroll down.
I see gallery view. Thanks for all your hard work.
I normally use a Kindle at home, so it’s linear I think. If I visit from work it’s with firefox and should be gallery. Occasionally I’ll use my phone when my wife is shopping.
Gallery
Just occurred to me: I do view on my phone a significant portion of time. So call it gallery/Firefox 50% and iPhone 50%
For a while already, the site is way too large (in a child textbook sense) for me so I view it at reduced 80% size. That way the letters are the right size for my reading comfort but unfortunately large amount of pictures gets hard to read if they contain annotations that don’t share the site’s “child textbook” letter size policy.
I view the site in browser window that takes up less than half of my screen’s width and it’s still large enough to contain full width of the gallery format including some gray borders.
I would really appreciate if you considered either reducing letter size on the blog, or enlarging your images so they match the used letter size.

Gallery is my favorite, but linear (on my tablet) is fine.
Works fine, don’t worry about consensus. I do get lately always in the link get a yellow triangle with ! in the middle. Works fine and occurs in other sites sometimes, even .gov, may be related to rare hang up as my system is very old (by such standards these days).
Having comments numbered would be useful
Highlighting new comments in a different color on revisiting an article would help with extending the comments on articles. Otherwise, you have to wade through the entire article to find new comments and that can get tedious. Currently, an article has about a 48-hour lifetime on my computer, if it’s an interesting article, and then I move on. Too many articles to stick with a particular one for very long.
I’m not picky about the view, but a way to mark or check (or SOMETHING) a comment I’ve already read would be a great facility (thanks, TA!!). I know you tried something like Jo does (thumbs up or down) which allows me to know what I’ve read and rated, and I know it was not successful here, but some facility to allow faster scrolling through comments would be the CAT’S MEOW!!!!!!
Appologies to Dr. Kenji Watts,

Chrome browser – gallery view
My Microsoft Edge comes up gallery.
But it really makes no difference to me, as I always “read up” from the last posts I’ve read.
I’ll scroll down to the last post I’ve read, and then work my way up chronologically.
Umm, 19″ monitor desktop running Windows 10.
I rarely see the home page. I subscribe to your RSS feed in NetNewsWire, and if I open the article it shows the article view itself. When I open the home page (Chrome), I get the Gallery view.
Hi Anthony,
The default view varies with the device: laptop/desktop, tablet or smartphone. Given the choice I will normally switch to ‘gallery view .
same here. 3 different views on desktop. laptop and smartphone
TBH I don’t actually care. Its a non issue for me.
I was just going to remark that myself. The Tablet using Firefox gives one view with choice of using desktop view, though. I like the desktop view on the Android tablet better.
The images are too large for a tablet ( but maybe suitable for a phone, I suppose) if the desk top view is not requested.
Gallery view on my desktop
While I usually view your site from my Android, I actually prefer to use my laptop for the better layout & resolution.
I will read it no matter how it shows up. My current view is Firefox and Gallery.
Linear. Safari. MacBook Air. Not overly concerned about format. Content is king.
Gallery on FF.
Gallery; Explorer, Edge and Chrome on a laptop.
But I actually prefer Linear.
Gallery and Linear on Chrome, 23″ monitor, PC, Windows 7. It’s probably mainly linear because I almost never have my open Window on full screen. I adjust the content for ease of reading via Cntrl and scroll wheel. If I open the Window to full size it’s Gallery, definitely. I’m very happy with everything!
I’m currently running Chrome, but I really dislike their pdf windows, forcing me to download pdfs that I then open with Adobe.
I use a 27″ monitor that allows me to open large browser windows.
My browser windows are sized to maximize email access and a few internet sales shops.
Even with large browser windows, there are website with gallery views wider than my window. I tend to stop using them as it is clumsy to keep paging left-right.
To put reference to WUWT’s appearance in my browser windows, WUWT fills a little more than half the width of my browser windows
Plus, I open a lot of browser tabs on a number of browser windows.
Thanks for asking us!
I pretty much get the gallery view – I tend to view the site on line, on my computer at work, when I’m engaged in the world and public works.
After work, I pretty much disengage, hit the gym, goof off, and try to forget the day until it starts over again.
I use the Feedly RSS reader, and click individual articles from there. I don’t recall the last time I’ve seen the actual homepage. This is true for both my pc and my phone.
But I clicked the home button up top to see what it would do and:
Gallery View. I’ve now responded with that in your poll also.
