Wow nytimes.com looks drastically better than their current design.
- kaszanka 6y agoThat seems to be a common theme with websites. Not to mention how quickly it loads...
- alliao 6y agoback then I was probably still on my brand spanking new awesome US Robotics 56k modem!
- filmgirlcw 6y agoThat’s an archived/print-formatted design. It isn’t how the actual website looked in 1999 (CSS and the DOM weren’t advanced enough for those kinds of layouts then), unfortunately.
- cmeacham98 6y agoRegardless, I wish I could get this version of the website for current articles.
- ddeck 6y agoIt's an archive page, but that's pretty much what the website looked like in 1999: https://web.archive.org/web/20171230005844/http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/99/01/circuits/articles/28game.html https://web.archive.org/web/20171230005844/http://www.nytime... https://web.archive.org/web/19990209200635/http://www7.nytimes.com:80/ https://web.archive.org/web/19990209200635/http://www7.nytim...
- curveship 6y agoThat's definitely 1999-era HTML and layout, except for the "This is an archived page" header, which is the only CSS on the page. The rest is all well-known tricks from the time: tables, image maps, a few embedded images. Heh, it even has the blockquote trick to pad the margins. Brings back some pretty horrid memories.
- scq 6y agoDoes it? Each line of text spans my whole monitor, which doesn't make for a very comfortable reading experience.
