The old one will remain, but in addition to that we'll have the expanded format. It's basically a list of intro posts for each topic, one after another.

The new format is for people who prefer to scroll rather than scan headlines.

Here are some examples:

https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/digest-issue-expanded?page=1&digestnum=1811

https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/digest-issue-expanded?page=1&digestnum=1810



Please test it out send me any feedback you might have.
Thanks.

I am a fan of the original posting format as its much faster and easier to peruse the subjects without all the distractions.

Are the four examples you have links to in any way different? They all looked the same to me.


Those are the last four digests.

I prefer the original Headlines format. But how about Admin try another experiment...use the Headlines format, but put a thumbnail of the First photo (or perhaps all) which is included in the post. That would allow the user to see if he really wants to click on that entry.

I'm not crazy about it. I prefer to see the issues and problems, then scroll down to images to view, then move on. Having them all mixed up makes it harder to find the part I find most interesting and will make it less likely I will be able to spend time searching for those topics. Just not a fan, since you asked.

I would like to see the options. Like many others, we find the captions vague or misleading and they don't allow us to drill down on questions we can answer, or at least respond to. I'd say give it a shot and we can refine it going forward.

I vote to keep the old format.

How many times am I allowed to vote?

Plus one from me. NSFW doesn't bother me at all.

Love it. Much time is wasted scanning topics only to find the content is barely related to the title, or the title doesn't convey what the topic is. I do scan every topic most days until I get too tired, but as a novice I also do a lot a camera-specific searching to cut out irrelevancies (to me). The Digest rocks all ways up but I love the proposals.
