I must say that I thoroughly dislike this new layout. It looks squished together from both sides which wastes way too much space on my screen. The illustrations look chopped off on both sides, too. There are fewer selections per category, and there are fewer categories! I find this layout much less aesthetically pleasing than before, and much less functional as well. It's harder to locate the selections I'm seeking and there is increased eyestrain now too. Why exchange an attractive, functional layout for what shows up now?
I REALLY want the old layout back, or something very close to it. Why make such a radical change from what we had before? I find there to be less functionality now compared to the previous format--in fact, I can't find any improvements at all. I subscribe to a great many comics and novels on Tapas so I have to mess with this deficient layout frequently in order to view my favorites. I think of myself as a longtime user by now, and I think your content is very good, but if things don't improve, I will be reluctant to subscribe to new series and may become irritated enough to start dropping titles. Please listen to those of us who care enough to have spoken up and fix. this problem. Change for change's sake is not sufficient justification to foist such a radical, awkward layout on your readership. Bring back the former gorgeous format!
