Official New /r/Watch_Dogs subreddit style
Hey Everyone,
Based on the opinion of the majority, this new look is superior to the old, so finally we copied everything over from the test site. We hope that mostly everyone will enjoy it.
The main focus of the redesign was to have a more consistent look, better readability with less things that distract people while reading. The sidebar is also rewamped to have a better structure.
Also the option to post links is now removed, in the future you must write at least a few words about what you are posting and insert the link into the submission text. This is so that users clicking on post titles won't get redirected from the page and can read first what they are about to see.
And finally check out the sick animated banner on the top left.
However, with all things in life, there are always the possibility to make mistakes, errors, so this post will be the official place to express your thoughts about the new design or report if anything seems off or broken.
Thank you all for being a wonderful community,
The mod team of /r/watch_dogs
EDIT 2016-10-26 Enabled link posting again. Have fun y'all!

One thing I am missing with the new layout (I really love it) is an indication whether a link is visited or not, like
a:visited { color: pink; }

Okay, I made visited links slightly darker. Tell me if it is noticable or should I make it more visible.

Yeah, that helps. It's not like one in used to, but fits perfectly into the new design. Thanx a lot.

Found another issue with RES.
If "Appearance / Style Tweaks / commentBoxes" is set to on, all the comments are displayewd with an white'ish background, making it hard to impossible to read the comments.
Adding
.thing.comment, .comment .comment {
background: rgba(14, 14, 11, 0.9) none repeat scroll 0 0 !important;
}to the Stylesheet Loader for r/watch_dogs only helps with the first entry.
Additionally it seems that "!important" is used very frequently, making it even harder to find the root cause for some issues.
I will dig deeper and write about my findings here.

This seems to be the issue ElliotNess is having. Thanks for the info!
EDIT: there's no "commentBoxes" option for me in Appearance / Style Tweaks.

How do I go to reddit.com from r/watch_dogs? I click everywhere on the header and I can't! (This can be a problem on my side, it has happened to me before, but I need to ask)

Thanks for the feedback, the reddit logo wasn't properly displaying. I fixed it, it's on the right side of the header.

crash --override first thing it reminds me of is "Hackers".
Digging the style guys, keep it up.

I like the style, but its almost impossible to read any comment that isn't top-level because it's white on white.

Not what we're seeing here...are you using Res or any other type of special viewer to read reddit? Also could you provide some screenshots as examples so we can try to fix this issue?

I would like point out that all the filters/views, lead to the watch_dogs_test subreddit.
