    Hey, looks like you forgot to switch in images 2 and 3 -- it's all the CatChange1 screenshot. Otherwise, this looks pretty promising to me. :)

        Figure two looks horrible nervous and disorderly like the tag sets. I hope those button things don't hide the fandoms like the tag sets do. The tag sets are difficult enough to read and navigate, and then the constant clicking.

        Given that one of the reasons for not wanting to introduce sub-categories was too many clicks to get to the fandoms, this design looks rather clicky.

          Hi Irene,

          The current design is for the buttons in Figure two to bring up the submedia landing page illustrated in Figure 3. From there one can go directly to one of the listed popular fandoms or choose “show all fandoms” for a complete listing of fandoms in that submedium. The design here is an illustration which has not yet been coded, and we’ll take your feedback about reducing clicks and making the font size larger into account when finalizing it.

          Best,
          Lady Oscar

        And someone might want to check the font sizes. Either the button fonts are unnecessarily set to larger than default, or more likely someone is doing the bad thing of trying to make the category headings smaller than the default.
