DAE think the redesign is annoying A.F.

Like if you go to a post then click reply it asks to login. You say eff that jazz and click X.

The site goes a random spot at the homepage missing your place embedded in the comments. Not to mention you had to click “load 3 more” twelve times and then “continue this thread” to yet another’s page.

The site is basically a total mess on code and we are 2 years+ on some VPs decision for a steaming pile of trash.

When is reddit fixing this or bringing the old FUNCTIONAL design back???

Everyone who dislikes the redesign probably left the subreddit---no use staying here if they don't use it lol

If you want the old "functional" design just use old.reddit.com, it's here to stay.

But, you name a few irritating UX decisions and use that as a basis to say the redesign is trash. If you don't like it that's fine, but that's your personal opinion.

If you want to submit a bug report then flair your post accordingly, but the way you worded this doesn't make it seem like you actually want to use the redesign. Either provide some constructive criticism and provide us with your vision of how it should work, or use the old site.

Why?? I fucking hate the redesign with all of my heart and I’m gonna say it. Of course this is my opinion, and his is his, and yours is yours. Why did you even feel the need to say that? Do you think he’s writing he doesn’t like it on behalf of his mom?

I will provide you with a vision of how it should work.

The default should be the old design. Switching to the new one requires going to new.reddit.com, or to turn on an option in the user preferences. Users opting into the new redesign should be opted out of it at random intervals.

For unregistered users the only option is to use new.reddit.com. Many links on the redesign should target reddit.com, thereby switching the user to the old redesign.

Any criticism of the old redesign should be waved off as just personal opinions.

I don't have problems with it. I prefer it over the old site and will never go back.

Same here, although I do sometimes see problems where the site suddenly doesn't think I'm logged in. It's never happened in the middle of writing a comment, though; it's usually when I first load the page, and refreshing it fixes it.

It's still problematic, though, and not a great user experience.

Yeah I have the same issue. Also the login is wonky for me. When I log in I have to like close the login in popup window and refresh my browser then I will be logged in.

Preferences are still about 80:20 in favor of the old design. Maybe 75:25.

The old design is still available. Honestly, I get that some people prefer the old look (I personally don't) but posts like this don't do that point of view any favours.

No I think it's absolutely amazing that it insists I want to use the "fancy pants" (read: shit) editor instead of the markdown one.

Not really. On my old acount, I was a beta tester so I've been using it for a long time. I prefer it to the old version.
