The new layout (which I'm not getting along with generally, too slow and washed-out looking) seems to have been tweaked in the last few days to the effect that a Readability browser extension can no longer reliably parse the page to display the key content.

I know, I know, it's not PH's problem, but it's very handy for covert work browsing and generally just being able to read without clutter.

Today's Seat article is an example. This is what I see when I apply the extension:

Other recent articles like the Fiesta ST and 612 ones seem to be fine.

Appreciate it's not really PH's issue, but I thought it worth bringing to your attention as in my experience the failure to be parsed like this usually means a 'broken' site in terms of spiders, SEO etc.

What is the extension you are using so we can make sure our QA engineer tests this for the articles?
