New Chron.com = less functionality
It appears that the new Chron.com has made another change that renders the site less useful.
Readers who receive Houston Chronicle Newsmails each day may have gotten used to clicking on section headings in those emails in order to catch up on the news from a previous day or so. This was useful, since the Newsmails don't contain all the stories in any given section.
Now, that functionality appears to have been disabled. The hyperlinks are still in the Newsmails, but the new Chron.com now redirects users to the section's current offerings. Until recently, it was still possible to click in and use the service as before (for example, this link from the Newsmail is designed to take the user to the Metro & State section for December 11 -- except it no longer works).
A redesign shouldn't result in less functionality for the user. This is a bad move.
