all is fine just tell me why is it affecting my phone browsing?
HTC P4350 windows mobile...
it keeps taking me to mobile mashable...
option of full HTML is there but only for first page, clicking on any other page takes it back to mobile mashable...
mobile mashable doesn't allow me to see previous pages!! (or at least i cant find it!!)

Are you kidding me? It definitely rocks! The only thing I don't like is the "onhover" color at the horizontal drop down menu.

I agree with most of the critique.
The new direction is good, but the Mashable "brand" feels lost here.

In general, the posts are very cluttered. Some grid-layout planning could help greatly.
As an example, split the post image area into multiples of 70 px. In that way, you can accommodate multiple company logo widths, plus large feature images. I threw together a quick mock to better explain:

I like that you got rid of the sharing icons at the bottom of the mini pages. Now I would suggest a thicker font for the headlines and it would be fine.

Much better. Like the search function. Ribbon bar looks cool, but probably won't use. I've always come to mashable for the content, despite the layout of the site. This is just icing on the cake. Keep up the good work.

Hey, where's the login for the Mashable Social platform?

If I were to print an article out, it would be better if there is a 'Printer Friendly' link to omit all the ads and unwanted images.

Is it possible to implement this feature here?

Interesting new design. Kudos. Could perhaps use some complementary colours, coloured icons at the top right hand side, 'login' as a text link, a ribbon feature that sticks to all pages to optimize it. :)

Maybe also dropping all sort of icon links to 'social' services and rss readers would tidy it up a bit? Hey! It's a wacky idea, but I'd like to see the empirical data proving the benefits first.

Two column layouts are always best for Blog & yes apparently the load time was reduced.

I noticed a large number posts (3 pages) in this new design. Not sure if there is a connection? Also the time of the post has been eliminated. Now they just have the date of the post. Before they had both, which I preferred.

Don't get rid of the pink underline from the original masthead. It is a little new facebook esque. I like the event section. I also like that Mark is representing the first image. Nice work Mark!

Where will you host more Ads? Will you rid the 125x125 and add other options. I would like to do RSS advertising with you. Contact me about this.

Have a good night!

PS> I like this new sharing feature.

I love Mashable but I wasn't really digging the re-design. Mashable has a unique feel to it and now it looks almost exactly like TechCrunch's re-design. Did you guys hire the same designer to do the re-designs? . I would like to see more colors on the site..I miss the pink. I love the ribbon functionality that's very cute but there are like 20 drop downs, then a ribbon, then a top nav, kinda makes it to busy at the top.

So it's a cool try but I always believe in keep it simple stupid.

Way better than the old one, primarily because its new and we need 'change'. :) Seriously, loads faster too, and pleasing on the eye. I don't focus much on the other stuff, so its hard to say if its better or worse for the rest of it, but far as I'm concerned, new mashable rocks. Keep rockin'.

I think I was so used to the old version this is a shock to the system. Hopefully the content stays the same and the extras are worth the outragous pictures and eye soar of a color scheme. It hurts my eyes to look at this website.
