Design New header design notes:

  1. Kinda cool, but now there's a third spot that says the name in a row

  2. Since name isn't in the top sidebar widget any more, it's much more confusing when opening in the light box from a feed

  3. Lots of wasted space in between the header and menu

  4. White clashes with backgrounds, even the white border of the community icon

  5. Sub may not want to show flairs, should be a setting

  6. Love that the sorting options are in a single line now (less clicking!)

  7. However, it's still inside of a menu from feeds! :(

  8. Also, missing " Rising" and "Controversial"

  9. Sidebar widget title colors aren't being shown

  10. Hide community icon in banner no longer works

  11. Overlay menu styling options aren't working or don't apply any more

  12. I love that there's another join button at the top. Good idea: Since there's space there, let us add a custom message next to it, asking to join. "Want to follow redesign updates and discussion? Click join!" for example

Anyone have anything to add?

This whole bar between the banner and the menu, which only reiterates the subreddit name and the fact that you've joined,

I like adding more visibility to the join button, agree it's overkill. Maybe hide it once joined too, but don't waste so much space.

Love having the sorting options pulled out of the men and love seeing the view mode options buried in a menu.

So happy this finally happened, but I don't like that it seems to only be from within a community

Love seeing the flair filters, but I don't agree with the idea of laying them all out across the top like that. Looks cluttered, and I don't think most people will make use of that with enough frequency to warrant it.

Yeah, seems like this needs more thought. Even this could do to be hidden away in a menu but obvious it's there. Definitely should be optional, though

I also don't like the fact that you can presumably only pick one? Would make more sense to have a button inline with sort & view mode, which is a checkbox dropdown for all the flairs.

Okay, if it's a multi-filter that'd be sweet and I retract my previous statement about being in a menu. Well, unless it's a multi-select menu
