It's now been nearly a month since we launched the biggest redesign in AnandTech history. Monday we'll be celebrating our 13 year anniversary and it'll start with our most expensive system giveaway to date. I've also received product from ASRock, G.Skill, OCZ and Patriot to give away in addition to celebrate both the relaunch and the anniversary of AT. It's going to be an exciting month ahead of us.

If you haven't noticed, we've been introducing new features and fixing bugs since we launched the new site a month ago and I wanted to give you all a quick update on everything we've done.

First and foremost, Print this Article functionality has been restored. It was always on the list, it just didn't make the cut for launch. We've also brought back inline Gallery listing, enabled tagging, fixed a handful of bugs and issues that you've brought up and have more coming.

Expect galleries, commenting and the front page to all get much more flexible in the coming weeks. I'm talking about in-line responses in the comments section (no more page loads to respond to a comment) as well as the option to compress down the front page to a simpler listing for those who want it. In the interim we've changed our backend a bit to not put all articles by default into the carousel up top. What you'll see up there are our biggest reviews/news stories, while the smaller stuff (this just in, any smaller news, etc...) will appear in the listing below.

I do appreciate your patience as we implement the new features and changes we've got coming, and we'll be showing some of that appreciation next week with these giveaways :)

As always, if you've got any feedback feel free to contact us or leave a comment. We're always listening.

    I'm using FeedReader 2.9 (could be found on sourceforge) as RSS client backed by IE6. Starting of update (1.4.), it seems to me that no new article appears. I know that this is really old setup.
    Do you think it will work for me again?

    I think the new carousel scheme of putting the "biggest reviews/news stories [up there], while the smaller stuff (this just in, any smaller news, etc...) will appear in the listing below" is a terrible idea. It's so easy to miss a "small" article and now I have to scroll down the page to see what I've likely missed. Atrocious. A step backward in every conceivable way, IMO.

    How about a smaller carousel for "small stuff"? Or just a text list of what doesn't make the "main" carousel? Or bringing back the "ticker" on the right-hand site mentioning new articles since the last visit? Something, anything, to alerts visitors about new articles or at least give us the opportunity to quickly see the most recent articles, like AT used to have (!), instead of making us root around for new articles.
