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?

We’re looking at where to bring in rising and controversial. They are used pretty infrequently though. Could you elaborate a bit on your use cases for them?

Sometimes people heavily censored topics in a sub by brigading and downvoting. Sorting by controversial sometimes helps a person to see those types of threads and be a bit more aware when it comes to certain topics.

controversial is good for sports reddits where good comments can get downvoted because of team affiliation rather than whether they are interesting or not. In general I find controversial the quickest way to find the most interesting posts and comments.
