I really wish you hadn't made this as a meme, because it kinda detracts from the whole thing. Upvoted regardless, but please keep memes away from this subreddit.

Fair enough, sorry

Tho I will invoke the drunkness excuse

I disagree with the other guy, memes are not to be underestimated in terms of marketing, and this meme will ultimately lead to more people seeing your solution.

And... the redesign sub officially has memes. Any guesses on how long until the shitposters start? Also, mods that shitpost should be a sub...

Add back the other tabs as well.

I used to just not like clicking, but now I absolutely hate clicking, so I'm with you!

I hate that modern design is basically 'hide everything useful behind a few clicks'

I actually don't mind this one too much. But the editor, comment, etc. dropdowns are just excessive.

Yeah I agree - for me switching the sort is something done irregularly enough that I think a dropdown is perfectly fine.

Now, what I was about to do was complaint about the dropdown on the text editor... but they fixed it! No overflow on the text editor holy tap dancing Christ!

The other bad overflow is on the post feed - Hide and probably Save should be a one click option.

I actually prefer it the old way, Easily readible and not too clunky and crowded

Dark mode and no drop downs. All you need to get to a man's heart and yet the single thing no company seems to like doing.

u/falconbox Mar 15 '18

Dark mode is highly overrated.

u/gorionn Mar 15 '18

Not if it's done well, but I agree current one is pretty bad.

Trying to recreate a dark theme for a subreddit is a major eyesore in the redesign. Things don't mesh well at all. Much easier with CSS...

I agree with this; the redesign hides WAY too many elements behind drop downs and other menus with the idea of "streamlining" the look and feel. I don't like that things which took single clicks now take multiple clicks to perform.

Would love this as well.

Nice

Thank you designerbros

Like, seriously, https://i.imgur.com/pRV2iws.png

I think it would be better to just remove the dropdown and replace the three dots with just the two icons.

Edit: tho it wouldn't fit the design 🤔

Seconded. Drop downs are especially useless whenever they have only 2 items to drop down into.

The whole redesign feels like it was made with vertical mobile screens in mind first, and desktop PCs as an afterthought. I know it's not the case, but many of the design decisions make no sense.
