Those of you who visited the Manhunt Daily on Friday night got a sneak peek at a redesigned version of the blog that we've been working on for a few months now. Unfortunately, the site encountered some unanticipated issues shortly after it went live, resulting in
some downtime yesterday and ultimately, a rollback to our original look last night. We're sorry to have left you hanging, and appreciate your patience with us.
The good news is that you gave us some valuable feedback about the design during the short time that the new version was live, and we'll be taking that into consideration before we bring it back again. Thanks to all our Daily readers!

It looked nice, but it just didn’t make sense… every simple request took ages to download. The old format is easy to navigate. I did like the grey background and the white borders around the photos.
If you really want to change something that is annoying, how about eliminating dragging that ‘URL tracking whatever’ into a box, just to post a comment!!!
Feedback, my a**. You got it. If I remember right the comments (before they were taken down) were NOT in favor of the ‘new’ blog. why do you guys *uck up something that seems to flow well the way it is? Like the blog you ‘returned’ to now?
i love how all the comments posted on various blog posts about the new design were miraculously removed when things resurfaced with the old layout….very classy to hide the feedback…not
@AmericanSoldier
The comments were not taken down. When we switched back to the current design, they were lost in the process. Again, we want to apologize for the downtime and appreciate the feedback and your continued support.
Thanks,
Andy
the navigation was not nearly as easy as it is on the old format. i have no problem with changes, unless it changes to something that is more difficult or less convenient to use.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Seriously. Whatever you do, don’t do what you did.
The iPhoning of the Internet just pisses people off.
Perhaps the visual appeal of the new site but with the navigation and everything of the current.
I for loved the new design…The problem I had was that it was slow in downloading and moving from post to post….CHANGE IS GOOD
btw…cute puppy
i was so confused by it. I like this formate just fine!
nice design, took awhile to load though.
and no comments were not strategically taken down b/c other comments that had nothing to do with critiquing the new layout were lost in the shuffle as well…
I say stay with this. Hated the new design! As others have said, was too tough to navigate. Leave it the way it is.
well there you go.
i liked it, the only complaint i had was the links on the right with this design where you can access the rest of the posts of the day.. they’re really handy so don’t get rid of em!
i liked the look of the new design, but i was starting to doubt the power of my computer, until i’d realized it wasn’t its fault things were getting loaded slowly, here.
i didnt know what was going on firstly, but when i was on the new design i could figure it out. really sorry to say this, but this image is so much hotter…. unless you can tell me what is the difference?
The current format works better because it’s simple and easy to use. The “new” format was not an improvement.
