If you don't count the invisible lines that space out tables for ancient browsers, I think there are fewer graphics on the new site when compared to the fossil site.

But, although I still think the design looks far better and works far better than the dreadful fossil site, I don't think the new version should ever have been released in this state. It's dreadfully slow. It's bug-ridden. (And no, I'm not posting bugs on something that's being shoved off as a release product.)

Releasing this thing in this state (if that's what's actually happening) was a very bad idea. This is bad. This is buggy. This is unusable. That's fine if it's a beta. It's not fine if folks are being directed here who don't understand that. It's late, though. Perhaps it's just the rollout problems. But even so... I don't see why a product that showed so many new bugs in its beta version would be rolled out. Run it for at least a day without a bug. ZBR: Zero Bug Release.
