G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Fairly general question: Is anyone having their stream layouts reset on their G+ feeds each time you manually reload the page? I prefer the single-file layout and I keep getting reset to the double or triple row "Pinterest" layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Phelps Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I guess you've tried making the browser window more narrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jack Zhang Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 No, I default on the single-file layout and the layout switcher still indicates it's in the single-file layout when clearly it's a Pinterest layout on page refresh. It's clearly a G+ bug. I'm on Firefox, and v22 and v25 do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Phelps Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Chrome does it too. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Morrison Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Chrome and IE do it to me. I sent a feedback about it this morning. At least it still work to switch to the multi column layout and back to single column to get into a readable format. Multi column makes sense in a newspaper or magazine where you have limited height, it makes no sense in an infinite scroll medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Phelps Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Not sure why you'd want so much wasted screen space. If you want a single column, just make the window narrower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Morrison Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 And what does a narrower window do for me besides letting me see more of my wallpaper? Wasted screen space isn't the problem, wasting my time and attention trying to read scattered information is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Phelps Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Joe Morrison A narrower window will keep the feed in a single column after a refresh. That's what it can do for you til the bug is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Morrison Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Joe Phelps I think instead of screwing up the layout of every other webpage I visit it is more effective to complain to google that they need to fix the mistake they made. Fixing one page shouldn't require breaking everything else and G+ is not the most important part of my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jack Zhang Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Joe Morrison Agree. Before today the browser remembers the layout preference despite manual refreshing of the page. Something broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Morrison Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Not even something broke, something was broken. The browser still remembers that it should be single column and indicates that it is single column mode despite clearly having multiple columns. Even better, single column mode works properly if you toggle multi-column mode then switch back to single column mode. Whatever it is they changed overnight they need to change back until they can figure out why it breaks stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
