    Thanks Kasper. I appreciate your response and acknowledgement. As a website developer myself, I cringe at the sometimes poor design of certain sites, and with AI, I've had an exceptionally frustrating experience, particularly with logging in properly. I look forward to the upcoming improvements. :)

    I recently accidentally downloaded the Russian app, appleinsider.ru, when I meant to download AppleInsider's iOS app. The Russian app is now syncing with iCloud. Called Apple Support and they don't know how to stop it from syncing whatever it is doing. The entire app is in the Russian language. I've deleted the app but the syncing is still there. The Russian app just shares the name 'Appleinsider' and nothing else. The Russians just took its name. Be careful when downloading AppleInsider's iOS app. I'd love to know how to stop the app syncing god knows what.

    Same experience with the website... just to be able to participate in the comments for an article, I need to click through two different pages after the initial article view. Maybe that's intentional to maximize ad revenue? If not, then whomever is behind the user experience design at AI is clueless.

    Glad to hear you're thinking about this.

     

    What is the best way/best place to submit ideas/comments about site layout?

    The one thing


    This is a problem. There is a work around that lets Felixer and coolfactor do what they want as well as displaying px in comments (which does not work all the time in the 'read-only' comments mode:

    While in the AppleInsider web home page, click on the total comment count int the lower right summary of the article (e.g., ). This will drop you right into the reading the article then comments that you can participate in (albeit a big fugly BLACK title bar and box around the article - box OK bar is not IMHO). Oh, mot to mention that you don't have to back out carefully to the home page since once will now do.

    BTW: Kudos again for willett's explanation of AI's position. Well said.

    I'm glad there's a way to do this from the web site, but how about those of us who use the iOS app?
