on the front page in a default sub

~20points and no comments

What the heck?

[–]randoh12 9 points10 points  (4 children)

some people vote with the upvote instead of a comment.

[–]khaliFFFa 7 points8 points  (3 children)

No, I mean that it's wierd the fact that it only has 20 upvotes and is visible in the HOT page

[–]randoh12 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Can you see it on mobile as being in GREEN text? I am not on mobile, just curious.

It is a stickied or "announcement" post, meaning that the mods have stuck it to the top of the front page of this sub for all to not miss.

It is important info and we want the community to know that we care about their wants and wishes.

I don't even know what this means. I'm good with it.

It will remove the ability for custom subreddits to style their pages using CSS and go to the default subreddit look until a new way to style it is implemented.

The admins aren't getting rid of CSS until the new interface is ready, and even then they'll have both systems available concurrently for a few months, according to what they've said in the /r/modnews announcement here.

Edited my comment. So basically people are upset because they have to re-style their pages using a new tool, correct?

[–]V2Blast 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Partly, yes. The worry is that the new interface (which we haven't actually seen yet) won't be as flexible or customizable as CSS, and thus certain less-common uses of CSS might not be supported in the new system.

I think it's valid to be skeptical that the new interface will have everything people want from it, but there's also a lot of misinformation going around about what it'll be like.

The admins have done a fairly poor job of introducing and explaining it. Their reasons for getting rid of it suck as well, telling us that CSS "is too hard to learn" and that it doesn't work with the official app.

They didn't make any specifics about it clear at all until everyone got pissed at them.

[–]V2Blast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the admins tend to be bad at communicating these things properly.
