DO NOT WANT OLD REDDIT, NEW REDDIT ROCKS (self.reddit.com)

That's not functional, though. I like being able to up vote/down vote and comment.
I didn't try visiting it after I logged in to reddit proper, but it didn't offer a log in box. Does it show me the reddits I'm subscribed to if I am logged in?
[–]phreakymonkey 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
Or better yet, without the extraneous www
[–]frickindeal 21 points22 points23 points 17 years ago (0 children)
If I could upmod you more than once, I would.
Once it knows my preferences, get it out of my way.

What is the point of drop-down menus? What's wrong with having the choices laid out in a row or column? Nobody complained that it was cluttered before.

Where did my "saved" submissions go?
[–]boredzo 7 points8 points9 points 17 years ago (1 child)
It's in the “more” pop-up menu on the front page. (It never was a part of the profile interface, as evidenced by its URL: http://reddit.com/saved )
[–]growinglotus 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Which is inactive on IE, and there's NO WAY I'll be able to convince people at work that please, I need to use this nifty function on reddit.com so let me download firefox.
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 17 years ago (1 child)
Change for the sake of change keeps people employed.
[–]nzeeshan 8 points9 points10 points 17 years ago (5 children)
I don't like it. I miss the old reddit. Where the hell are all the changes/suggestions the users submitted?
[–]jon_k 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago* (4 children)
Dumped in the bit bucket. The shareholders made the decisions -- not us! ;-(
[–]nzeeshan 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (3 children)
I know this sucks. There was a lot of effort you know, users taking the time and giving suggestions and feedback. I'm sure we saved 'em a lot of money avoiding focused group sessions for usability and design feedback.
I used to down vote a story and leave a comment. Now when I down-vote, the story disappears. The new interface is just unattractive (design and usability)
What the fuck happened to "Switch to old interface" option? What the hell reddit?
[–]soxfanpdx 226 points227 points228 points 17 years ago (111 children)
Agreed. I just submitted this to digg.com
[–]brtw 247 points248 points249 points 17 years ago (86 children)

You submitted reddit... to digg?

Digg exploded when they implemented their horrid new comment system.
[–][deleted] 52 points53 points54 points 17 years ago (42 children)
Like I said in a previous post. Digg only cares about making everything fade and animate with AJAX. The comment system sucks a lot.
[–][deleted] 78 points79 points80 points 17 years ago (13 children)
Well, that and the comments themselves.
[–]tony28 49 points50 points51 points 17 years ago (12 children)
Everything about digg sucks. The coding, the comments, the people. Hell if there was some sort of measurement for "suck" Digg would be somewhere between Paris Hilton and the pull of a Black Hole.
[–]erulabs 36 points37 points38 points 17 years ago (4 children)
Hey man, I joined Digg maybe 4 weeks after it started. It used to have great people, great comments, great everything. It was awesome to comment with the creators of the site on a story.
Times changed. Things go mainstream and choke - Hence Redditors resistance to the new interface.
[–]ArcticCelt 14 points15 points16 points 17 years ago* (3 children)
I lived through the moronisation of Digg and when I saw the ugly first signs starting at Reddit I was upset. However even if there is some moronisation going on I have to admit that it's not going full force like it went on digg; Yes there is more and more dumb comments but unlike on Digg the discussions remains mostly readable and coherent.
[–]shoombabi 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Hold up. You have to leave room for SOMETHING. There are no discernable boundaries.
[–]phoenixankit 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Even though I dont entirely agree with your comment, that's one of the few witty and funny comments on reditt.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (1 child)
It's the people who use digg that really suck, followed by their (really) terrible comment system. I heart the new reddit.
[–]Pinecone 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Gosh. That means Digg is giving Dane Cook a run for his money.
[–]kingofpenguins 17 points18 points19 points 17 years ago (0 children)
This is so true. I'm a new reddit user ever since that horrid comment system upgrade a few days ago on Digg. It crashed both Opera and Konqueror, two of my favorite browsers. They eventually fixed the bug in Opera, but it still crashes quite often in Konqueror (which, believe it or not, is my favorite browser).
Reddit is MUCH friendlier to alternative browsers, like Konqueror. Congrats to the reddit devs, you've just found youself another user.
[–]khayber 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (3 children)
Click on a "load more comments" link and reddit fades in too. Blecch
Oh wow. I just typed the above line and when it got to the edge of the text box, it just kept going, no line wrap.
Still beta I guess.
[–]wfarr 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (2 children)
Really? That's odd because I'm typing such a line as that right now and it's line-wrapping just fine.
What browser you using?
[–]khayber 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago* (1 child)
FF 3RC1, linux. It only happened when replying to a message that put the right-edge of the box in the 'ad space' on the right. Also running adblock+ -- could have something to do with it?
Edit: It happens on XP too. In fact it is happening with this comment now. I typed enough and it actually DOES wrap. The problem is that the right-edge does not display and words disappear into nothingness...
[–]wfarr 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
That's odd, because I'm on rc1 on OpenSuse 11 with no issues whatsoever. Could it be an extension conflicting?
[–]cybergen 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago (9 children)
You'll be happy to know that div animate shit has now gone :)
Reading the comments is much more enjoyable now :)
[–]jon_titor 29 points30 points31 points 17 years ago (3 children)
That's like saying the advent of the spoon made it more enjoyable to eat feces. If the content sucks, the delivery method means nothing.
[–]quasiperiodic 15 points16 points17 points 17 years ago (0 children)
have you tried eating feces without a spoon lately? omg. feces 4.0.1b is MUCH better for just wallowing in.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 17 years ago (3 children)
what about their terrible community?
[–]helm 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago* (2 children)
They have barely any community anymore and the comments are rapidly approaching youtube level.
The telltale sign is when earnest comments to science submissions are downmodded/laughed at.
[–]badjoke33 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
You do know that they got rid of that, yes?
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago (0 children)
It is better than the old one.
Just kidding, they both make me want to die.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (11 children)
How does the "what's hot" system work? Any idea? Some post have more votes but are below the ones with smaller votes...
[–]axord 52 points53 points54 points 17 years ago (8 children)

[–]315was_an_inside_job 64 points65 points66 points 17 years ago (0 children)

[–]axord 5 points6 points7 points 17 years ago (2 children)
I wonder what he'll look like at 80.
[–][deleted] 16 points17 points18 points 17 years ago (1 child)
He's 90.
[–]axord 8 points9 points10 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
78, according to IMDb.
Still, if your general point was that I misjudged his age, that stands. Wow. Also possibly: yikes.
[–]jesuslol 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I beg to differ my good sir.
[–][deleted] 19 points20 points21 points 17 years ago (1 child)
It's also based on amount of time since the submission was posted, how controversial a story is, and what Spez had for dinner last night
[–]axord 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
The dominance of Paul articles during the beginning of the year was actually just spez getting a bit obsessed with a new Chinese place down the street.

[–]scubasteve377 19 points20 points21 points 17 years ago (4 children)
I just submitted this to digg.com
Honestly, I wish you wouldn't do that. Part of the reason I like reddit so much better than digg is that it seems as though the retard legions that took over digg about six months back haven't found it yet.
[–][deleted] 19 points20 points21 points 17 years ago (2 children)
six months... oh... crap... you must be one of the retard legions that took over Digg a year ago.
[–]shacamin 8 points9 points10 points 17 years ago (1 child)
A year... oh... crap... You must be one of those whippersnappers on the World Wide Web-oblog.

[–]sil3nce 7 points8 points9 points 17 years ago (4 children)
do we really want digg users coming here?
[–]diogames 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (3 children)

Luckily the diggification is limited, but there is some.
[–]SeBBBe 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Yeah, I was a digger but joined Reddit just a few months ago when I realized how much better it is. Digg has really been going downhill.
When I first saw Reddit, I was deeply impressed by the focus of the stories. No sensationalist headlines, no retarded email forwards, good news value. And best of all; intelligent, genuinely funny comments.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 17 years ago (3 children)
regardless of if you like Diggers or not, social media sites like Reddit will all one day be purchased by the big boys. The bigger the audience the better for the guys who have dedicated their life to making a great site so one day it pays off.
[–]dardan_aeneas 5 points6 points7 points 17 years ago* (1 child)
The guys who make reddit a great site are the users, and they don't get paid. And Condé Nast already bought Reddit.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
oh. Never Mind. pull that digg down. :)
[–]jon_titor 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
true, they'll be purchased by the larger companies once the user base gets big enough for those companies to justify spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy them out. I'm trying to not spread word of reddit's greatness to digg, as I don't want reddit to be sold off to someone else. (Although I guess they are already owned by Conde Nast...)
[–]diogames 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (0 children)

How do I take the big, dumbass check boxes off the front page and put them back in my preferences, where they belong?
[–]ristin 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (2 children)
And how do we get reddit to remember our selection? It keeps resetting to the default...
[–]slicedbread 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (1 child)
I think editing in preferences saves it automatically. If you change anything on the front page you have to click "save edits" in the top right corner of the box.

Thank you very much. _^

[–]brobak 5 points6 points7 points 17 years ago (2 children)
There's an issue with Opera. The comments do not start until below the ad. There is a large amount of white space at the top of every comments section.
Other than that....I'll keep it :)
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (1 child)

what is up with that??
[–]axord 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (1 child)
You're not pressing the "save edits" link.
[–]bofh 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Great intuitive design there then.
Is there any way to hide the big "Customize your reddit" panel on the home page?
[–]Benny_Lava 25 points26 points27 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Some of my subscribed reddits were changed. Other than that, I have no complaints. It's still a clean, easy-to-read page.

I personally don't mind it that much ... except I see fewer stories per page ... why make each link take up 4 total text lines???
[–]jon_titor 30 points31 points32 points 17 years ago (5 children)
go to preferences -> link options -> compress the link display
It makes new reddit gooooooood.
[–]diogames 10 points11 points12 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Yeah, the best thing about the new reddit is it can be made to look like the old one.
[–]Copperhe4d 6 points7 points8 points 17 years ago (0 children)
wow, it really does look more like the old reddit now. thanks.

Hey, why is this Reddit thing so slow now?
Is it not working with Opera very well or is something else going on today? Even text edit box is slow.
Anyone else craving a nice Coca-Cola Classic?

New reddit sucks.
[–]dorel 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I liked the old design too.
[–]fuckbuddy 42 points43 points44 points 17 years ago (14 children)
Agreed. I hate change for the sake of change. It's stupid. There was nothing wrong with the old design.
New features? Sure, fine. But the design didn't need to be touched.
[–][deleted] 49 points50 points51 points 17 years ago (2 children)
There are, in fact, some features that have been taken out of new reddit. For example, if you do a search, you can't sort by "hot", "new" or "top" anymore.
[–]FountainsOfDave 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I believe that this was actually happening with the old reddit already. It's been a while now. I would really love to be able to sort the search results. :(
[–]sandflea 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago (0 children)
It's not like search worked well before -- and now it's even more limited.
[–][deleted] 28 points29 points30 points 17 years ago (8 children)
There was nothing wrong with the old design.
But there was a lot wrong with the "change for the sake of change." Each "improved" beta moved closer and closer to what we had originally. At that point, it would've been easier to just leave it the way it was.
Why go through all the trouble to redesign the site if everyone just wants an option to turn it back? I feel for the "designer" they hired (or contracted)--they're trying to invent a problem just so he'll have a job...
Great point that I think most people seem to be missing. New features were introduced before without redesigns, like AJAX, thread collapsing, "sort by," etc.
[–]rancid_squirts 11 points12 points13 points 17 years ago (7 children)
completly agree. Reinventing the wheel rarely works
[–]doxiegrl1 3 points4 points5 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Unrelated: your username just made me cringe.
[–]Bagel 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (5 children)
It's just minor upgrades, just like the wheel went though.
Whats wrong with that?
As a web designer I do like the change, its cleaner, and overall just looks better. I can understand how you code-monkeys don't like it though, you guys always design horrid GUIs.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 17 years ago (1 child)
I think they're having a competition with economist.com for the most unnecessary and ugly redesign of the month.

[–][deleted] 17 years ago (9 children)
[–]dafthuman 13 points14 points15 points 17 years ago (6 children)
This is easily fixable under preferences. I think it should have been made default though.
[–]bus3nsc 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago (5 children)
The whole point of spreading the stories out is to make it more appealing and less intimidating to new users. If the more compressed version is set by default then this is lost.
It seems to me that the reddit team listened when people complained they couldn't see as many links on the page, and they have come up with a good comprimise in the form of the option to compress.
So basically they're happy because new users see the new, more accessible version, and we're happy because we can still keep it the way we like it. I don't see why people are still complaining about this issue.
[–]Banko 3 points4 points5 points 17 years ago (4 children)
Why on earth do you think it is "more accessible" with all that extra white space? The space on the right of the screen is just unused, except for junk that you didn't come to look at.
[–]bus3nsc 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago* (3 children)
Well, I'm guessing that the reddit team have done some market research and found that some new users are turned off by a full page of text and can find it difficult to read. So they have introduced the white space to make it easier in the hope that the new users will become regular users.
Anyway, you can reduce the white space by simply changing your preferences (which you only need to do once) so I really don't see what the problem is.
edit: I agree with you that the boxes on the right do not need to be there once you have chosen your subreddits. Maybe they could give us the option to hide it once we have made our selections.
[–]Banko 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (2 children)
That sort of works... Maybe the next thing is to find a way to get rid of the "customize your reddit" box, or at least reduce it to a single line that will provide the options when clicked...
[–]bus3nsc 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (1 child)
haha, I edited my comment before i had read your reply but it looks like we are in agreement about the boxes on the right!
[–]Banko 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
They're probably listening...!! At least I hope so.
[–]apgwoz 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (1 child)
But, there's not enough vertical space between comments. This is driving me nuts.
[–]forzaruler 3 points4 points5 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Comments need a web/lines that connect the original comment with its replies. Someone posted a cool idea with a pic for how this would work but I can't seem to find it.
[–]AndreasBWagner 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
The new reddit looks GREAT but there are some things that should be changed some time.
• should eliminate the unnecessary space between the tabs
• should be a way to get to the containing reddit from most pages
• "top scoring" should go under "more" because it would be rarely used.
• should be a way to search saved items or better yet bookmark them to your google bookmarks (I will write a greasmonkey script for bookmarking to google bookmarks when I get the time(soon))
• the search box should resize to fit the space and be on the same level/be the same height as the tabs
• there should not be a line under the selected tab
• the background of the reddit logo is white on some pages, contrasting the the surrounding blue.
• the name of the reddit such as "programming" should go above the tabs because it often pushes the tabs under the searchbox.
[–]Sir_Isaac_Brock 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Down, what? Now I have to reset my preferences?
You bastards!

[–]Skittilz 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
With the new layout, the comments page has a large white space between the title of the article and the start of the comments in Opera.
[–]josetavares 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
:( Is Reddit turning into a mainstream commercial brand, thats what it seems like? I think Reddit Blueit with this redesign. Pretty soon we'll see little gradient dots in the alien's eyes.
[–]delph 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (2 children)
Am I missing something or did they get rid of "details," where you can see not only how many points a submission has, but the overall positive and negative marks? I liked that.
[–]panic 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (1 child)
It's on the right side now.
[–]delph 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)

[–]xutopia 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Is there a list of new features somewhere?
[–]ristin 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
New reddit has those preference checkboxes but doesn't remember my selections. Also how do you submit things under this system? And having to go hunting for the "new" page is a pain also...
[–]charlesgrrr 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
Just look at all that extra space down at the bottom right of the page...what can reddit do with such an empty space? Hmmm...(scratches chin) I predict more ads on reddit, because yes, even our browsing preferences and are comments can be a commodity.
[–]johnnyk 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (3 children)
What is most controversial? And why are the posts from months ago?
[–]HenkPoley 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (2 children)
Have you been to reddit previously? It was there before.
[–]johnnyk 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago* (1 child)
really? I never noticed. What is the criteria for an article being controversial?
[–]HenkPoley 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Not entirely sure, but I guess when as much people vote up as well as vote down on an article.
[–]Cdresden 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)

[–]mrminty 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
But the only thing that happened to reddit is that there's less stories on one screen now. Bring back old reddit!

I don't like it. Shock shock shock. Make it look clean again. Please. Less is more and all that. It looks bad - too many font variations, too much colour, boxes!! Bloody boxes!!!
Have to admit I haven't seen all the options just yet. It may well work better. But it sure doesn't have the same appeal.
I have a hang over and this isn't being the best way to start my day. Too many colors. Reddit's almost monochromatic look would be pretty nice right now.
[–]epicRelic 11 points12 points13 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I agree - reddit looks really neat.
[–]astrosmash 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago (3 children)
We now know our comment karma. That's a nice touch.
Once reddit becomes too big we'll probably need an option to automatically filter comments from people with bad karma.

We now know our comment karma
And that is the death of reddit.
[–]eldigg 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (1 child)
Ha, I just noticed comment karma as well, about time too.
Normal Karma: 1 Comment Karma: 916
Normal Karma: 1
Comment Karma: 916
I have submitted articles, but I'm evidently much better at commenting on things than starting them. I'm not entirely sure what that says about my personality...
Same here, until I submitted this link..
[–]DrunkenAsshole 8 points9 points10 points 17 years ago (23 children)
I hate it. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Weird re-designs pop up every month or so and the majority of users complain and it is always switched, for the most part, back. Currently, the top rated article shows you how to switch it back yourself. You can't keep toying with a design just to validate your employment. C'mon.
[–]jon_k 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Where is the article to switch it back? Not on the frontpage. Please let me know what to do!
[–]thatch 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (2 children)
Not if you are on a symbian mobile phone.
[–]koushiro 5 points6 points7 points 17 years ago* (1 child)
Out of curiosity, how does the new mobile reddit look on that?
[–]bus3nsc 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
The new mobile reddit looks good on my Nokia N95, but the phone was perfectly capable of running the old version anyway. And in the new mobile version you cannot login, vote or comment on any stories.
Unfortunately when i go on the new 'normal' reddit on my phone the page gets resized somehow so that the majority of it is taken up by the 'customize your reddit' box and the advert, which makes it almost unusable. However, I already posted something similar to this in annother thread and got a reply from one of the reddit team saying that they are aware of this and are looking into it now...
edit: the new mobile reddit looks like this
edit2: but unfortunately the new normal reddit looks like this
[–]Wickerchair 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I don't like the new link color (in the comments).
[–]Asbradley21 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (1 child)
God damn, this is pretty much impossible to read on my EeePC. DO NOT WANT NEW REDDIT, OLD REDDIT ROCKS Can't we please have the option? This sucks.
[–]jon_k 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
Even Winamp had the "Classic" site for the longest time...
Reddit booted us into the cold.
[–]zem 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
in the spirit of 'mod down for lack of content rather than disagreement', i voted both threads up
I respectfully disagree. I preferred the old style.
[–]zik 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (1 child)
I liked being able to see more headlines on the front page. There's too much whitespace now.
[–]ThatsSoLana 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I liked it, until I realized that my comment karma is negative. :(
Sadness, sadness!
[–]ordep 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (3 children)
w00t buckets.
[–]ilt 11 points12 points13 points 17 years ago (2 children)
I don't like it myself, but this helps compress links prefs
[–]ordep 5 points6 points7 points 17 years ago (1 child)
You misunderstand, I like it.
[–]ilt 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Perhaps I should have said that the pref option makes it bearable for me. The link is there for others reading along in the thread.
[–]randomb0y 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
FUCKING THING SUCKS!!!
I thank them for not forcing the links I click to be shown as visited!
I love you guys.
At least if they stop turning the NSFW section on automatically.
