A message to our readers:
We know, we know! Recently Salon readers have been experiencing some technical difficulties as they click their way through our site. At the beginning of the month, Salon completed a long-planned migration to a new WordPress-based publishing platform. While this switchover from our antiquated system has streamlined Salon's operations in many exciting ways, it has also resulted in some short-term bugginess here and there, which we're working hard to correct.
Readers have been having problems with the comments section and with various RSS feeds. And yes, then there are the ads that appear where they should not. We're in the process of squishing these bugs as quickly as possible. But your feedback continues to be the best source for identifying the remaining issues. So thank you for your patience and for continuing to point out problems.
