User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Layout Changes: Breakpoints and Typography/@comment-2126441-20150521070508/@comment-5275700-20150521150513

Hassat Hunter, you've made numerous comments about how this update has caused problems on your community, and how you're concerned about the reader experience for the new game release. Yet, we have not seen any reports from you (or anyone else at Payday) about page content that's actually broken or unreadable as a result of the change.

You linked to the Loot article in a previous comment and mentioned a problematic table. But your frustration seemed to be mainly that the table was not displaying wide enough to appeal to you, on your screen. As Kirkburn noted in the reply to you, the table always looks like that for some people, perhaps even many people. It's also still quite clean, organized and readable. If that was not a concern for you before, why is it suddenly a "train wreck" now?

Please don't misunderstand, I am not invalidating your own personal experience or your opinion at all. I completely understand that you would like to see the table (and the page, and the site) wider on your large screen, and you don't feel that large screens need the font size increase.

But if there are functional/visual disruptions with the content due to this change, we need to hear specific reports (ideally via Special:Contact with screen shots) and then we can determine the best way to address those. Subjective feedback matters as well, and that's not lip service. But it's also diverse and takes time to accumulate and assess. In another comment, it was stated that the vast majority of users would be satisfied if only the font size increase at the XL breakpoint was removed. However, your main frustration seems to be more with the max width reduction. I'm stating this to just illustrate my point about differences in the subjective feedback.

Feedback like "train wreck" or "everything is ruined" (not a direct quote from you) is not productive.
