We have a designer on staff (as another commenter mentions, the excellent Allison House - http://allisonhou.se). Design is a very big priority for us and this redesign is the first of many we'll make - it's an incremental process and we're focused on improving our designs until they're just right.

I hope you'll bear with us as we fix this one.

I understand that the post about your site ambushed you out of nowhere and you were immediately compelled to shift into damage control by flooding the thread about how hard you were working on your design problem and all the other lip service the community demands. It's an unexpected pain and I sympathize with anyone who has to go through it.

However, shifting blame to one of your employees in an effort to cover your own ass for burping a lemon signals poor judgement and a lack of maturity on your part. To silence the critic, all you had to do was acknowledge the problem, allude to being "in development" and thank the over-eager Michal for pointing it out. Instead, you made it worse by exposing internals for a problem you should've taken responsibility for alone. Probably at the price of their reputation.

Your job today is to seek them out and make a personal apology.

Had it been a bug in the code, I highly doubt you would've named the entire dev team in a thread and pointed out the party responsible.
