What's this?

Kris - really appreaciate the efforts you all go through to keep the site


going. The mobile format when in portrait (upright) mode is just really busy and hard to follow. All the blue and grey bars and lines - just too much on the screen to distract from the content IMO.

It is OK when people only post in the subject line or the posts have a line or two of content in the body, but as soon as you get longer posts, I think it becomes pretty hard to follow. That said, I am willing to give it time and maybe get used to it, just seem to me there is too much unnecessary, distracting stuff on the pages taking away from the real value of the site - information about UVa sports and posters discussing the same.
