Google's trying out a new SERP, it's very Bing like:
http://trs80.ucc.asn.au/google-curry-serp.png
Also note the more saturated logo |
Can someone share the PREFID cookie value to enable this view (if possible)? |
PREF=ID=2b7eba2678a743e4:U= 0fa46b25e76a477b:LD=en:NR=10: TM=1266730314:LM=1268647281: S=kCAI2B6e8Na4Uu4l
Note this is for google.com.au.

James, you NEED to break up overlong strings, urls, etc into smaller chunks, as the BGF robot can not gracefully cope with such – which then set the column width for all content in the forum. Ie.
PREF=ID=2b7eba2678a743e4: U=0fa46b25e76a477b: LD=en: NR=10: TM=1266730314: LM=1268647281: S=kCAI2B6e8Na4Uu4l
Also, since you apparently are "in the know" about this and other SERP, explain in some words how this new version differs vs. current/ earlier one and why is this significant?

ianf: I'm not in the know, I'm just some random who it's being tested on and reads Blogoscoped. I recalled seeing an earlier version (which I've just searched for and found at http://blogoscoped.com/forum/163640-full.html) and thought people might be interested in seeing how it's evolved.
As for breaking up long strings, http://www.quirksmode.org/oddsandends/wbr.html has several solutions. If the forum supported HTML I'd add them myself, but since it's supposed to format automatically it should do it. |

The sprite is up to version 11: http://www.google.com.au/images/srpr/nav_logo11.png and 8-10 are still available too. |

So, effectively you're asking me, and whoever else for whose default browser this might be a problem, to switch browsers so that you personally won't have to care, not even slightly change your posting ways by adapting to KNOWN BGF's formatting oddities? Nice egocentric point-of-view. |
Guys, I'll fix the long lines issue, it's definitely my responsibility as forum software maintainer and you shouldn't have to worry about it (in the future :)). |
