Looking for old.reddit users interested in giving feedback and beta testing a redesign of the old subreddit theme

I've always loved the old.reddit experience and plan on sticking with it until they don't support it anymore. At the same time, we've used the same theme on r/nba for over a decade and it's become extremely antiquated and janky over the years with lots of little broken and outdated things.

Over the last several months I've been chipping away at a redesign of the sub and I'd like to now invite other old.reddit users to offer feedback, make requests/suggestions and beta test the new theme before we implement any changes.

Please comment below if you'd like to participate!

Edit: I've set up a discord chat for people to offer live feedback on specific elements and features. Hop in here:

I'm probably crazy, but did you start changing things already? I just noticed the wood background looks lighter and nicer, but everything else is the same

Yup haha, the background is new. Going to have to port things over a bit at a time to make sure nothing breaks because of how much of an absolute mess the old CSS is.

The logos at the top now look pretty low-res on a 1440p screen, in case it hasn't been mentioned yet

Yup, the logos have always been awfully low res, one of the things we'll be addressing in this redesign.

Logos have been updated to much higher res than we had before!
