New British Newspaper Archive front page

The British Newspaper Archive (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk) website has changed its front page design yet again. It now looks like this on a PC:

The BNA has attempted to explain this new layout at http://blog.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/2017/05/25/our-new-look/.

I have no idea if this was intended to be a better interface for those accessing the site on a PC or from the use of a tablet, but users on both platforms now have much more scrolling to do to find other more useful features, such as recent additions, located well to the bottom and off screen.

I suppose it creates employment...!
