We like all the feedback that Ars readers have actually sent because we presented the Ars Technica 9.0 style recently– even the, err, deeply enthusiastic remarks. It’s humbling that, after 26 years, many individuals still care a lot about making Ars into the very best possible variation of itself.

Based upon your feedback, we’ve simply pressed a brand-new upgrade to the website that we hope repairs lots of readers’ leading issues. (You may require to hard-refresh to see it.)

Much of the feedback (online forum posts, e-mail, DMs, the Ars remark type) has actually informed us that the chief objectives of the redesign– more design alternatives, bigger text, much better readability– succeeded. Readers have actually likewise provided up intriguing edge cases and various usage patterns for which style modifications would be helpful. We can’t please everybody, we will continue to make iterative style modifies so that the website can work well for as lots of individuals as possible.

Here’s a fast post about what we’ve done so far and what we’re going to be working on over the next couple of weeks. As typical, continued feedback is welcome and valued!

Modifications made and modifications prepared

The 9.0 style was based upon reader feedback; an amazing 20,000 individuals took our newest reader study, and the majority of these readers do not publish in the remarks or the Ars online forums. The agreement was that readability and personalization were the most substantial website style problems. We’ve resolved those through (to name a few things) a responsive style that merges desktop and mobile codebases, increased text size to satisfy contemporary requirements, and 4 website design choices (Classic, Grid, List, and the super-dense Neutron Star view).
