It looks like they're in the middle of updating the layout.

I hope what they have right now isn't permanent...it's too cluttered.

I'm with BroadwayGuy12. I hope something is wrong and it will go back to normal soon!

Whoa! It was fine when I did my regular morning visit - good thing, if I saw what I just saw, I would have spit out my coffee all over the keyboard!

I'm sure it's only temporary. It looks like they're fudging with the layout design...but not everything is correctly justified in the margins, etc. I'm sure by tomorrow it will be cleaned up.

No, they are not changing the layout. It's obvious to my eye (I've had web design experience) that one of their components is missing in the code thus moving all the other components misplaced.

I'm sure their tech is working to correct the issue and it will be back to normal soon.


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Well it's all aligned and cleaned up now but their layout is changed. It looks like they changed the layout and it's set for good...

Are they trying to compete with this site for the most cluttered homepage?
