Despite claims to the contrary, the old version, however buggy it may have been, did generate a substantial number of click throughs and potential new follows. The interim (God I hope it's interim) version does not compare.

I can see my list of topics fine, I can click them but the reader itself that normally shows all the posts made by other users shows nothing. Furthermore, if I move the mouse, the arrow changes to the hand and then I can click these invisible topics and go the the topic... this is very frustrating.

Other bloggers I follow have also not been showing up in my Reader for the past month or two (I've tried unfollowing and refollowing, which in one case worked). One blog is shesamaineiac.com. The issue seemed to happen once she purchased the domain.

Note 1 When you delete images from your Media Library and a visitor's browser calls for them to be displayed they aren't there because you deleted them from the server by deleting them from the Media Library. You will need to upload the images again in order for there to be anything to display to visitors.

Funny thing is I was one of the 31 million users who hated the new scroll down reader, which had topics hidden on the side bar under two clicks. But I didn't complain. I figured there wasn't much that could be done.

But it does seem to me that the aesthetic and technical issues are actually related, however loosely. We were flatly told that this new change was a tough cookie we had to swallow, that WP had no plans of changing it in the future. And now for many of us, even this new "less buggy" reader is not only prohibitive to use, but it is entirely defunct. Some design improvement, eh?

Anyway, it seemed like designsimply was saying there were other threads about the zero/blank reader problem, but I cannot find one devoted to it yet, though with the sprinkling of comments regarding this technical issue, it seems fairly widespread. I'd be glad to join that thread if it exists.

Better yet, I'd like the reader to work. It's going on three days of no reader at all for some of us, going on a month of an annoying scroll down reader that many of us find cumbersome and so annoying that it's not being used as much anyway.

In either case, it's either impossible or a dreadful waste of time to try to find interesting new blogs on topics which interest for many of us, when it used to be so easy. If I cannot have the old magazine style one working would be nice to at least have a reader of some sort instead of a blank page with a zero at the top.

Word Press has been up until now the best boat afloat for blog hosting, but I hope they get this worked out before the Exodus becomes really huge. It's been three days, and I had been considering upgrading to pro. But if the strengths that drew me to WordPress all disappear, unfortunately many of us will to.

@ timethief, IMO, yes, stop directing people to this who have technical problems - the thread was never about technical problems, it was dissatisfaction with a WP change

I also agree with ds that the thread is too long, and that specific problems with reader need to be addressed in separate threads.

I'd be more than happy to start a new thread complaining about the changes to topics should that be required ;)

There was also another (blog owner of WP) that has now gone to another site to blog on. How many more are you going to lose before you listen to us, as I am scouting other sites myself? Many of us want the global tags to come back, and WP does not care. Don't respond with "we do care" because if you did you would bring them back!
