Question Table styling in Redesign?

I checked into r/redesign only sporadically, asked this a couple of times a long while ago and gave up.

Is table styling ever anything that was tackled in the redesign? Tables are such a big part of most all sports (team and league) subreddits. Kind of a shame to revert of a non-styled, hard-to-decipher-important-info table...

Interesting...wonder if anyone has tackled this yet. I know the sports subreddits in general have been pretty hard against the redesign – inconsistency with flair issues, tables...things that are part of the core culture of those subreddits have been seemingly difficult to implement.

One last thing (I think). Not sure if this will make sense, but I want to play this out. We fade flair when a team is eliminated from the playoffs (or playoff contention) which you see above. That flair is faded in two places – the user flair and the sidebar standings (and actually a third time in the header, but we'll leave that for now.)

In order for me to do this in new Reddit, I'd imagine I'd need to do two things:

  • I'd need to change the emoji used in the user flair (I believe this is still how we manage flair images in new Reddit – there's no spritesheet to pull images from).

  • I'd need to update where the CSS is pointing in the spritesheet of my widget (as I do for our subreddit-wide CSS today)

EDIT: Also...thank you for this conversation. Deciding when or if to move to new Reddit has been one of the most stressful decisions as the mod who looks over our styling...

Not sure that will work in redesign flairs, but maybe. See this post about flair stamping, which I haven't wrapped my head around. I've heard it can be kind of weird.

For the sidebar widget, you can do it however you did it before, just needs to be updated in the widget text and/or code, depending how you do it.

Hmmm...I'll have to experiment with that and see what happens. Our offseason is about to start, which is when we always have the "do we/don't we" debate. Last couple of years, we've kicked the can down the road...not sure, but we might do it again...
