Just my opinion, but I don't like the way that clicking on one of the 'latest headlines' now opens a new page, rather than auto-scrolling to the selected story, like it used to. :shrug:
Hmm while trying to put it back I just realised the other key reason for the change, which occurs when you pick a different category of news from the front page. If you do that then the news items listed in the headlines don't always match the news output itself and the aname links then fail/become irrelevant. Hmm what to do.. what to do..
