| Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | mscha | 12/02/14 6:26 | Google Reader used to have (at least) three ways to go to the home screen. 1. "Home" on top of the left-hand sidebar. 2. Click on the logo (de facto industry standard) 3. Keyboard shortcut: gh In the redesign of last year, 1 was made a lot less acce |
| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | mscha | 12/02/14 6:48 | Indeed caused by the new Google bar. Before: http://db.tt/Q44yITUr Here, the entire “Google reader” logo is clickable. After: http://db.tt/YG9W8K1l Here, neither the Google logo nor the “Reader” text is clickable.

| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | paul dubya eye | 12/02/14 8:18 | I can confirm. It is very frustrating to not be able to click the Google Reader logo to get back to the homepage. Please fix! Should be a very easy change! |

| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | Neal C | 12/02/16 2:36 | I've noticed this recently too - very frustrating (I'm using Firefox) |
| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | chrisrosa | 12/02/16 16:08 | This is extremely annoying. What used to be one click is now three, including browsing through a menu. So lame. |
| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | chrisrosa | 12/02/16 16:13 | @ddddod The GReader bar isn't any help, because it's still more than one click. Clicking the logo used to bring you to your "start page" as defined in GReader settings. |
| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | onebeno | 12/02/24 2:51 | +1 on this issue. I use the g+h shortkey as a workaround but it I find it very un-natural and frustrating each time I try by reflex to click the Google or Reader logo. |
| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | Yotaru Vegeta | 12/02/26 11:10 | Fix, this, google! Why still be able to set one of my folders as the home page, but then have no quick way to get there? |
| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | matti3 | 12/04/03 9:49 | I totally agree. I just discovered in Opera it still works. Probably because they are serving an older version for opera. |
| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | mscha | 12/06/26 5:00 | And only a short 4½ months later, this is fixed! Clicking on the Google logo now goes back to the home page of the current service. Looks like a Google-wide fix, also for other services. – Michael |

| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | matti3 | 12/06/26 6:27 | thanks for notifying! I almost gave up on reader |
| Re: Did Google just make it even harder to go to "home"? | Tim Suh | 12/10/30 22:10 | This used to bug me too. But I just noticed this week that it's fixed (but it could have been fixed before - I just got used to not clicking the logo). |
