If only they'd make the Billion Graves interface more readable on devices other than smart phones, it might be useful. At the moment it is the most annoyingly clunky site I have ever encountered. Cannot see more than half of any photo, or more than one word of a sentence, without scrolling or clicking. It's like trying to make sense of "War and Peace" printed one word to a page. Apart from the colossal waste of time involved in waiting for the screen to load, all that clicking and scrolloing aggravates my carpal tunnel syndrome.
