Thanks for the explanation and tips, Alexis. Just one quick question. You have a version of the site for when the viewing area gets too narrow (the mobile version), any plans for a version of the site for when the viewing area is too short?
Thanks again for all the work you do on the site. You're awesome. :-)
Oh, I don't mean to imply that Dave leaving was the cause of this change, I was just providing an approximate time of when the change occurred. I don't know exactly when the change happened, but it did used to show all the articles.
As the title says, the promo strip stories don't appear under "Latest Stories."
Reason why I care: I'm on a laptop with a 1366x768 resolution, so Giant Bomb's home page is rather annoying, as it only displays one article, and half of the image of three others. (See first image below.) That's not really useful at all. I've been getting around this for a while by using a browser plugin to remove the "kubrick-lead" and "promo-strip" elements of the page so "Latest Stories" was the first thing I saw. (See second image below.) This worked great and was an excellent way of browsing the site up until around the time Dave left. Before things changed, the four articles that were in the promos also showed up under "Latest Stories", as they should, since they are new. Can you please revert to that functionality?
Alternatively, if you have some reason for changing it, can you please make a version of the page that isn't so utterly useless on 768p? I really don't like having to scroll down more than an entire screen height just to see content.
The only white-bordered rooms remaining are the pyramid, monolith, and the telescope. I already have the red cube from the telescope room, with no "Secret" icon for the telescope, and no permutation of the characters in the sky will yield anything. I've tried all of the following: left-to-right three times, right-to-left three times, upside down left-to-right three times, upside down right-to-left three times, reversing the order of each viewpoint for each of the previous attempts (1 2, 3 4, 5 6, 7 8 becomes 7 8, 5 6, 3 4, 1 2). The only thing I haven't tried is a brute force of every button combination, and I'm not doing that for a puzzle that should be solvable.
