Great job of spoiling the look, feel and accessibility of CR4

What look? You mean the mushy mess can still be called a "look"?

Well, I was trying to be polite.
I did consider a simple three letter post saying "WTF?" but decided against it

"WTF?" Welcome to Fruita? That is a puzzling statement.

Don't worry Del, as soon as the display issues are worked out, CR4 won't be much different. The two main differences you'll see are the new masthead and an extra link at the beginning of the breadcrumb trail.

Re: If it Ain't Bust Don't Fix It

I like to know in this design whom thought the half page of blank space at the top in which appears to be a menu would look good. Pushing most of the dialog off the page at the bottom.

Shouldn't the page header be at the top.

Is this a test?

It seems like the header wasn't loading correctly last night. It's fixed now. Try a hard refresh (CTRL+R or F5) and you should see a blue header across the top of the page. It shouldn't take so much vertical real estate as what you were seeing previously.

Tsk Tsk Tsk!

So, I suppose none of you have ever had a software update on a peice of software (that you likely PIAD for) that changed the look and feel of it?

Remember, we are here through the good graces of IHS.

I guess we could all just quit paying our dues............................................Oh, wait.

After 10 minutes of adapting, I see we are all still here.

If my posts had earned what they are worth I'd be able to buy a tin of Tuna by now!

The masthead is better..., but there is still a lot of wasted real estate with a banner that is unnecessarily wide and a large expanse of white:

I see the 'login' link is back. Thanks!

You may be seeing that white space if you have an ad blocker. This is what the homepage looks like to me:

And I should add the login button was never missing; you just couldn't see it because it was displaying below the blue bar it lives on and the font is white.
