This is huge news. I wonder if we'll see this redesign throughout sometime soon? I <i>think</i> I like the white background, but I'm going to be nostalgic for the old CL look, for sure.
I'm not sure this is an actual change vs. a DNS issue.<p>If it is a redesign, it's rather terrible from a UI perspective:<p>a) The four column design is hopelessly confusing at first glance since people read from left to right - not up-and-down and then by column.<p>b) The "black" but non-bolded state names / titles don't draw the eye like they should and blend in with the sub-content.<p>c) The lack of any sort of welcome or messaging other than the brand title is a perplexing choice. Yes most people know what CraigsList is but why not reinforce with messaging?<p>I'll be the average time to click goes up considerably with all the required sorting and scrolling.
