The new Browse:Photos is great but has some issues when loading. The big, in-your-face, ad on the right as well as the tabbed container overlap until the entire page finishes loading. Messy.

Please restore a shortcut on the home page to the Week-in-Pictures. One of your best features.

The Space photo content is beautiful.

I appreciate your keeping the photo content separate from the video / film. Photos have their own quality / beauty.

I also appreciate the improved support for other OS and browsers. Given your conflict of interest partnering with MS, there are many of us, and our numbers are growing, that have Firefox, Safari, Mac OS, Ubuntu or other flavors of Unix / Linux. I quit defaulting to MSNBC and made ABC my news home until the support got better. It has somewhat, please continue that direction.

For me I can only see this "improvement" as an excuse for MSNBC.msn.com to slap advertisements into our faces, as soon as we visit the site, rather than a litle bit lower in the page. I hope I am wrong, otherwise this is a good time to change my home page.

First, what happened to 'Drawn Conclusions', the (usually) weekly collection of political cartoons?

Second, if you offered the old layout as an alternative, I'd use it.

The first screen of the new layout is cluttered and lacks focus.

The new layout wrongly assumes that viewers are looking at the page full-screen at 1024x768 (or higher). This, then, requires scrolling left and right when the browser is windowed or the screen resolution is less than 1024x768. That's bad design.

On the plus side, the moveable and variable-size section blocks are a nice addition.

This quote is for sure right on. I always thought of msnbc as the "total and fair" news source, I am not too sure that is right any more. This new site is trying to fix something that was not broke.

I like the new design and layout! I'm surprised at so much negative feedback, but then, it's impossible to make everyone happy. I liked the site before, but I also understand the need to stay "cuting-edge" in the everchanging tech environment we live in now. I've done web design myself, and I know how important it is to keep a site as fresh as possible. I am a little frustrated that I am having to scroll horizontally, but I also know from experience that you have to design with such a wide variety of viewer's monitors in mind. More and more people will have wider screens as they buy new monitors or laptops and the new design will work great. One layout does not fit all monitors, so someone is not going to be happy. It can't be helped. Kudos to you! Also, people, try to be patient! There's always a lot of "tweaking" to be done. I'm sure it will all work out given a little time.

Mike, Charlotte, NC — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 03:14:06 GMT

I enjoy the new layout and understand that it is a work in process.

1. Those complaining about advertisements - we are a capitalist society, and nothing is FREE, so I understand that adding the advertisements to the site are a necessary evil to justify the huge dollars spent to maintain, update, and enhance the site.
2. I truly hope the local information along with stocks will be back ASAP. One reason I really like MSNBC.com
3. Week in pictures, week in drawn conclusions, are a MUST KEEP.
4. I have seen fellow associates at work using the lower resolutions on their monitors and they are therefore unable to see the entire screen (work cannot accomodate all users preferences). I agree with those that indicate it is "impossible" to please all, and those needing to scroll, need to consider the higher resolutions, or a larger flat screen. Sorry.

Dave Glazier — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 04:18:10 GMT

While the new format is visually pleasing, it is much harder to use than the original menus. I've used MSNBC as my default web page for years, but I'm starting to look at other options tonight.

Been getting on the MSNBC website for a few years now. I liked the old site, but I also like the new one pretty well. I do want the weather section up online ASAP, and I also want the stock info for the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P back on the front page. I at least do have Windows XP, and so far everything is coming up in good shape. Haven't tried the videos yet, but I will when I see an interesting one that I want to see. To those of you that are not very happy with this, lets get real, ok? Websites do go thru changes every once in a while to keep up with the technology and other things. I've seen a lot of websites making changes over the last several months, and they do take time to get used to and navigate around. Believe me, once you get used to the new site, you'll be going thru it like you did with the old one without any problems. MSNBC is just one of the latest companies to make changes to their websites, and all of us computer users need to get used to the changes as they come along. Making suggestions is good because that way, MSNBC's webmasters will be able to get a good idea of what we would like to see on the site, and they will be able to try to accomodate us as much as possible. So, please be patient, ok? And yes, can you please cut back on all of those ads, please? They do have a tendency to clutter up space that can be used to write your news stories and headlines in!
Thanks,
Chari Mercier :)

The new look is pretty neat and it is more logical.

After the change, my msnbc.com homepage has none of categories available on the page (i.e., weather, local & world news, etc.) so I thought it was part of the new change until I sat at another computer and saw that it was all available as I scrolled down the page.

I've tried to disable the fly-out menu but nothing happens (if that's what's causing this mostly blank homepage), and/or there's a bar in the middle of the page with the text, EXPLORE, More News, My News, etc. and the word Pinned. When I try to unpinn it (providing that's an option) nothing changes.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
