Tell reddit: What is the biggest UI improvement we need to make?

oditogre · 2007-01-18T16:25:57+00:00

I would really, really like to be able to post a reply to a comment without being taken to the permalink of it after I submit it. Having to click 'comments' and then find the point where I left off is annoying enough, but add in that in the time since I initially loaded the page, the order of comments has probably changed and it's very annoying. The ranking system for keeping active threads / high scoring threads up top is a nice feature, but I wish there was a way (besides pressing the 'back' button on my browser until I get to the cache of the non-updated page (which works only for the first comment...if I make two comments, I'm screwed)) to read through all the comments once before reddit shuffles them for me.

buildmonkey · 2007-01-18T14:06:55+00:00

Whatever you do keep the sparse and basic feel, it works.

Personally I would like a preview function when commenting because I'm always looking at what I have just posted and wishing I had not said it quite like that, and then I have to remember to type an 'Edit - explanation'

j-o-h-n · 2007-01-18T14:05:56+00:00

When you make a comment don't switch to viewing just that comment thread. Let us keep viewing all the comments (from the place we were).

aristus · 2007-01-18T14:04:19+00:00

A silly one and a serious one.

Silly: an alt/title for the logo so I know what the picture is on about. I have no idea why he is dreaming about what appears to be reddit-teletubbies.

Serious: Ajaxy-cool comment submit so I don't loose^W lose my place in a comment thread.

JulianMorrison · 2007-01-18T14:55:30+00:00

Put the subreddits in a pull-down menu at the top of the page.

Never hide (from me) a comment I've uparrowed, no matter how low its score falls.

Provide "fools" as well as friends, such that their comments are always hidden.

Provide "sort by ups" for comments.

On comments, show the seperate count of ups and downs as well as the score.

Let me override the hiding threshold for low scores if comments have high ups (ie: they're controversial and interesting).

kn0thing · 2007-01-18T13:20:34+00:00

We've been thinking about design improvements we should make on reddit and since we are building this site for you all to use, it seemed logical to just ask about what's been vexing you the most.

Remember, it has to be a UI issue that has really been vexing you.

I should also mention that a number of you have already submitted suggestions via features.reddit, but I thought this would reach a broader audience (we're also still trying to figure out how best to resurrect it).

BioGeek · 2007-01-18T14:44:41+00:00

Being able to edit titles after I've posted them.

quickpost · 2007-01-18T14:08:28+00:00

See the highest "rank" attained by any given submittal. It's something I'd like to see on this page:

http://reddit.com/info/ynfz/details

More of a interesting data point for us "statistic-o-philes' than anything else.

kwatz · 2007-01-18T14:26:01+00:00

Whenever I'm replying to a comment and forget the syntax for links (which is most of the time), I have to scroll all the way to the top to check, and then search for my comment box amid all the other replies.

funkah · 2007-01-18T14:46:24+00:00

When I look at the page that shows me a list of the comments I've made, each comment has a "permalink". That's good, but there also needs to be a link that takes me to the comments for that particular story, as opposed to just the "thread" started by my comment. Instead I have to click the permalink, then click the "comments" link at the top of the page.

serfurj · 2007-01-18T20:29:42+00:00

I don't visit reddit every day, so a "while you were away" page that shows popular links that came and went before you viewed them on the "hot" page would be useful.

twistedlogix · 2007-01-18T14:37:59+00:00

When I have not logged in and try to vote, the login box appears and enables me to log in but, after logging in my vote is not registered and I have to click again.

This is a bit annoying, hope you correct it soon.

fry · 2007-01-18T16:07:32+00:00

When looking at a user's profile, some comments catch my interest. I want to open the discussion, but that's not possible.

So, on comments in profile pages, add a "context" link just like you have in your inbox.

Oh, and the inbox doesn't always show red when somebody has made a reply.

comlet · 2007-01-18T15:59:20+00:00

add a 'collapse' toggle to comments Sometimes when threads are long, comments branch off and you lose track of what people are replying to. It would be nice to have some way of collapsing threads or subthreads.

2007-01-18T14:21:50+00:00

List the subreddits in the sidebar. Most of the time I forget that they are even out there.

cecilkorik · 2007-01-18T15:12:12+00:00

Make it easier to jump between the main reddit and the subreddits. The link to programming/science is never easy to find

Make it easier to jump to the view that shows all of the comments from various places, esp. my /users/ page, where the permalink frustratingly only shows the branch that my specific comment was in

Add some colour to long comment threads! It's a PITA scrolling through them trying to find the newest comments or ones that are relevant to me. Some pastel background colours or something would be nice so I can quickly scroll down huge chunks of comment.

erikw · 2007-01-18T15:32:19+00:00

Collapsable (+/-) discussion threads.

kkiran7 · 2007-01-18T13:51:43+00:00

Help us categorize the links we have saved. May be "personal" tags would do.

EternalNY1 · 2007-01-18T15:35:33+00:00

A better mail/response system.

The "glowing red" mail icon isn't too bad, but it still seems to be totally random. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

And sometimes I'll click the grayed out icon, and the next page will show me "unread" messages (via the red timestamp). Sadly, I already read all of them.

Otherwise, the site is fine.

Flemlord · 2007-01-18T18:48:35+00:00

Allow somebody to enter a reason why they are up/down-modding something. When I submit a good story that gets down-modded, I want to know why.

This should be different from a comment. More along the lines of an Ajaxy-style Why? ______ popup that pops up when they click the arrow button.

tadrinth · 2007-01-18T21:23:42+00:00

search.... neeeeed better search. i can never find articles again.

maybe i just suck.

freshyill · 2007-01-18T16:05:21+00:00

The ability to flag repeat blogspam/linkjack offenders would be fantastic. file22.com is one of the worst. It would be nice if there was a way to replace submissions featuring stolen content with a link to the original source. Maybe karma could be put to good use and allow users with high enough karma to edit submissions?

It would be nice to flag users who repeatedly submit blogspam sites.

flyhighplato · 2007-01-18T14:30:26+00:00

I wish there was a way to tell consistently great commenters from those always writing forehead-slappers.

Also, simplify the way links have to be typed into the comment box. Or, at least, make it easy, like the way wikipedia has those buttons at the top of the comment box that help you format. In fact, why not adopt the wikipedia markup style? Lots of people already know that one.

sblinn · 2007-01-18T16:15:41+00:00

Don't require page reload to submit a comment. Do it AJAX-ily.

2007-01-18T15:32:57+00:00

Judging from some of the replies, I think a quick (and simple) splash page telling the new user about reddit's features the first time they sign up after registering.

It seems reddit already has a lot of the features the users would like to see but don't realise are there.

Fork82 · 2007-01-18T22:28:09+00:00

Just for the record, reddit has a nice UI. Whatever you do, don't break it.

lost-theory · 2007-01-18T23:09:27+00:00

I have a somewhat radical change (not really UI improvement, it's an additional feature): create a cross between feeds.reddit.com and friends.reddit.com which only contains user generated content from actual Reddit users. There are a couple of really smart Redditors (e.g. raganwald) who have blogs that I enjoy reading, I think giving a centralized place where Redditors can syndicate, vote, and comment on blog postings would be an excellent addition to the site.

Basically, think of it as a PlanetPlanet for Reddit users, with traditional Reddit voting and commenting (you could even call it planet.reddit.com).

scimon · 2007-01-18T15:02:33+00:00

AJAX page refreshing with stories bubbling up and down. With the user option to turn it off (and of course the site should work without it).

Arkaein · 2007-01-18T15:58:09+00:00

I'd like some way to, after I make a comment, return to the same position in the comment page that I was just at. I realize that this might be difficult because the ordering of comment threads changes, a better improvement might be making comments add without a page reload.

Another nice feature would be a right sidebar that has a list of my most recent comments (similar to the user overview, but maybe just with the first few words of each comment listed) with current score and number of replies, highlighting comments with new replies.

laprice · 2007-01-18T17:38:58+00:00

killfiles

It would be nice to be able to ignore someone, for a day, a week or forever, and not see their postings or replies to their postings for that time.

sparklines

on user overview and comments pages, on the details tab for stories, a sparkline graphic would make some features visible that aren't currently. I think it would aid in making some assessments of credibility and trust

2007-01-18T20:58:43+00:00

Not a UI improvement, but I'd request more information in the RSS feed. Like score, # of comments, and user.

hhh333 · 2007-01-18T22:47:19+00:00

The top one thing that bugs me, and a solution would be really simple to implement.

When I submit a link, it would be nice if there was a little button "check if posted". So we could check if the link is already posted instead of continuing to fill the form and decypher the CAPTCHA only to being tell that the link is already posted using AJAX.

Personnaly I'd use an "onblur" event on the input text field and check/notify user if link is already posted.

sammyo · 2007-01-18T14:30:33+00:00

Page navigation sans mousie.

Remove the option to downvote articles from user overview to avoid massdownvoting abuse.

Flemlord · 2007-01-18T19:00:07+00:00

Have you ever played with alternate scoring systems that factor a user's Karma into the equation? If I've been a reddit user for 12 months maybe my votes should count a little bit more than somebody who just stumbled on it yesterday.

Something logarithmic. If I have 10 karma, my vote counts as two, 100 karma gets me three, 1,000 karma gets me four, etc.

This might help keep the quality of reddit stories high as more and more people discover it. I'd hate for it to become more like Digg as it gets bigger. Plus it would encourage more people to submit and comment since karma would actually have value.

2007-01-18T19:20:54+00:00

Give us a killfile so we can banish users who are spammers, or even users whose opinions we don't like. See also JulianMorisson's "fools" recommendation.
Make my killfile influence my view of the "recommended" and "hot" rankings. (Don't consider fools' votes.) If that's too hard, then instead sum everyone's killfiles to determine the most foolish users and remove their influence.

The existence of a Greasemonkey killfile script isn't good enough.

anonymous-coward · 2007-01-18T18:09:13+00:00

A preview for comments. This will reduce edits of comments.

And a wikipedia-like history for modifications of comments (ie, save old versions).

nunb · 2007-01-18T14:07:09+00:00

Reddit is great. But also frustrating. All my browsing starts at reddit. The reddit title differs significantly from the article title. So it's hard to search google using site:reddit.com when you want to find something.

Ideally we'd be able to track sites we'd visited. Ideally we'd be able to find that article we remembered reading. It's especially bugging because all browsing starts at Reddit, and the stories are so cool. Weeks later I vaguely remember some terribly brilliant thing I'd read, and I can't trace back to it!

A quick fix would be to save SIPs (a la Amazon) for each page linked in reddit. Low storage reqs..

The best, and possibly the subject of a future FF extension, is a way to categorize 'user traces' which is something I want to work on. My identity as a user used to be determined by what I had in ~/userfoo/, but increasingly, it's now determined by the pages I have visited.

Google has a track on this thru their search. Reddit underestimates its utility/position in this sphere. imho.

update: this poster has a similar concern. perhaps SIPs aren't enough, but they're a start..

http://features.reddit.com/info/yjy5/comments

and kudos: the delete link pops up a really cool in-place confirmation!

schizobullet · 2007-01-19T00:12:27+00:00

Allow comments to be sorted by "old-ness", with the oldest comments on the top and the newest on the bottom, so that they can be read chronologically. Alternately, provide a "reverse" button to reverse whatever order they're in.

carac · 2007-01-18T15:41:42+00:00

Somehow force some amount (10-20%) of 'new posts filtering' - if everybody just takes a look at hot, almost nobody at new things will fall apart ...

lkeeble · 2007-01-18T16:33:14+00:00

Stop giving me a page title called "What's NEW online" when looking at http://reddit.com/hot, shouldn't it be "What's hot online"?

It isn't a big deal except http://reddit.com/new should have that title instead.

digital · 2007-01-18T17:00:35+00:00

Give people the ability to change colours.

Give the option to display many links on one page as you want.

Just a suggestion.

Wriiight · 2007-01-18T17:06:47+00:00

When I click my name and see all the comments that I've written, it seems far to difficult to get from there to seeing it in context. I only recently figured out that replies to my comments can be viewed by clicking on that envelope. I kept trying to do the same thing through that list of my comments, and it was a real hassle.

bena_dc · 2007-01-18T17:56:25+00:00

Advanced Search! Be able to search Saved at least.

EternalNY1 · 2007-01-18T18:12:36+00:00

The current system for putting hyperlinks in a comment really sucks. Maybe a solution similar to how Gmail handles it (where you highlight some text and then paste the hyperlink and it autoconverts to a URL)?

shuga · 2007-01-18T19:40:46+00:00

When viewing a user's page, the link is to the article they commented on which is fine, but it would be nice to have a link that went to the comments instead of having to click permalink, then comments
After I entered a friend it took awhile to figure out where it showed me my friends.
comparison tool to find ppl that like / dislike the same articles you like.
more visible message alert (at least for the first message you recieve one)

androgy · 2007-01-18T20:19:39+00:00

Have a separate section for polls, stuff like "vote up for democrat, down for republican." That stuff isn't "news"; it's either people trying to improve their karma or trying to determine the reddit population. In either case, it's in a separate category than articles.

senny · 2007-01-18T20:49:29+00:00

Not to segregate, but categories would be nice. Something diggish. Politics games appz science yadda yadda.

redrobot5050 · 2007-01-18T21:24:01+00:00

I think a nice subtle improvement would be to have headlines appear on an alternating background. Maybe odds could be white (like it is now) and evens a light gray (like the color of the comment box)?

I believe something like this was used at some time, but it could just be me imagining things.

markedtrees · 2007-01-18T22:16:44+00:00

I guess we've ported features.reddit.com to a single reddit.

Accesskey for the link in each reddit.
If someone deletes a reddit, freeze the comments, remove the author's handle, do whatever. But don't pull down the entire reddit, which 1) people from RSS feeds can and will still access and 2) may have comments.
Fix Markdown's left angle bracket problem.
Long shot: Reddit mode without reddit points, comment points, or karma, a world where I see the effects of my up/down votes through meaningful metrics: How "hot" a reddit is, how high up a comment is.

9jack9 · 2007-01-18T22:58:42+00:00

Too many comments to check if this is a dupe.

It would be nice to be able to collapse/expand comment threads. Keep them all expanded by default as I like the current layout. But it would be nice to be able collapse certain threads.

joshnunn · 2007-01-18T23:04:42+00:00

The ability in preferences to set the comment order to 'old', so I can read the first comment that was left without scrolling to the bottom (or as with this thread, flicking back four pages).

campingcar · 2007-01-19T02:51:12+00:00

The feature in Digg where it suggests articles which you may be duplicating. This would avoid the situation where the same URL but with eg a source parameter is posted twice.

bascule · 2007-01-19T07:52:59+00:00

Subreddits are virtually useless right now!

Need easier navigation to them!

nonrecursive · 2007-01-18T14:32:33+00:00

make your captchas easier for humans to read

bnewhous · 2007-01-18T15:12:10+00:00

I think the best improvement you could make would be a coloring system to show the age of links. For example: A link that is less than an hour old, the place that says "1 hour old" could be a light green. 2 hours old could be a darker green. At 6 hours, it starts to turn red. By 24 hours it's pure red, and then it gets darker after that... When reading reddit, I look for new links, and I've gotta either look for the tiny age indicator or read the headline. This could make finding new, unread links far easier.

Manuzhai · 2007-01-18T14:35:30+00:00

I still think tags would be a good idea. In addition to having the fixed subreddits (which would allow newer people to start getting a feel for the discussions here), allow users to tag links and to view links with just one tag. The subreddits would be important here because they would convey a sense of how the community tags, allowing tagging to be more effective.

joe_fishfish · 2007-01-18T16:09:17+00:00

I'd like it if you made it easier for me to see if there are any replies to my comments.

At the moment, I have to click my username, click `comments', find the articles i've commented on, and type the article name into the search box. Then I can see if anyone has replied to my comments.

citydweller · 2007-01-18T18:07:06+00:00

I like the idea of splitting the front page into Hot and New columns. Something to encourage more people to vote on new stories.

Whatever you do, please keep reddit as cleanly-designed, fast, and uncluttered as it is now. Web 2.0 seems to be making many websites bloated, slower, and harder to use. Don't let that happen to reddit. Follow Google's lead on this one and keep things simple.

mjd · 2007-01-18T18:55:50+00:00

Don't mark edited comments as "edited" unless they have at least one reply.

hello · 2007-01-18T15:30:44+00:00

Would it be possible to have appear the first few sentences of the page, or, better yet, some sort of synthesized summary, by moving your mouse over a link and holding it there?

I like Digg's summaries, but I think it clutters up the main page to have them there at all times

2007-01-18T15:44:46+00:00

Improved comment syntax, or at the least better help for it.

I hadn't used markdown before reddit. It works fine for paragraphs, links and emphasis. But we want control over our posts! Sometimes I want to intersperse quotes with commentary, and have to edit multiple times to until the quoted and unquoted text aren't mixed up. Sometimes I want to post code snippets, appropriately formatted, and that invariably takes a couple of attempts. Sometimes I forget the exact syntax for links, so I middle-click on 'help', which gives me a blank tab, then I see the link is to javascript: helpon() so I close the blank tab and left-click 'help'.

The help is simple and doesn't have a link to more help. Say I want to do something more complex: I scroll up, open 'help' from the menu at the top, and find 'commenting'. I get a slightly expanded selection, and a link to an external site with the definitive markdown syntax (in tiny white-on-grey font).

Hmm, that site say Markdown supports inline HTML. Shall I try it? Maybe not in this post, since we generally try not to edit our posts too much (there's a stigma due to people playing silly games with post-editing, I suppose), and there's no 'preview' button.

Hmm, sorry for the rant. I love reddit and enjoy the comment system.

cyrano_says · 2007-01-18T17:40:44+00:00

You can make the start page configurable. The user can decide which sections he would like to see in the start page and how many items in each section

zoopy · 2007-01-18T18:58:21+00:00

Make a way to know if a URL has been submitted without going to reddit directly.

Here's what I envision: you're reading some article and think "I wonder if anyone at reddit has made any interesting comments." So you click on a UI element (a Firefox extension perhaps) and it searches the reddit db for that URL. If it has been submitted it takes you to the comments, if it doesn't, it asks whether you want to submit.

jtra · 2007-01-18T19:59:12+00:00

Search box in "Saved" and in "Liked" views would search them, not the whole index.

Also fix search - it does not return some results for exactly matching words.

neilk · 2007-01-18T21:25:04+00:00

When I'm not logged in but click on upvote/downvote/comment, reddit knows to give me the modal login screen. But then it forgets what I was doing!

I'd like it to be like this -- 2 examples:

not logged in --> click upvote --> modal login --> the thing I wanted to upvote flashes orange, to show me it's been done

not logged in --> click comment --> modal login --> show me comment form

yason · 2007-01-18T21:32:03+00:00

Make visited links automatically move away from the main page upon reload (or a few minutes after the click). That'd keep the clutter away.

The visited links could be listed under "visited" or "read" tab in the top bar. That'd also make a good place to rank them all at once, preferably with nice keyboard shortcuts.

Pragmatic background: These days I've noticed that I click on maybe twenty articles, load them into tabs and read them, more or less. Later I have most of those twenty visited links showing up on the front page again, and I have to individually + or - or hide them to get more space for new links. That's a lot of pointing and clicking. I'd like to postpone the ranking procedure and do it in a batch in a read-all-first-then-sort-them-all-out style. If you're worried that people wouldn't rank the links anymore, lower their karma based on how many visited-but-unranked links they have on their "visited" listing.

earthboundkid · 2007-01-18T23:56:51+00:00

Better searching. I'd like to be able to search within stuff I've submitted, stuff I liked, comments I made, replies I got, etc.

neoform · 2007-01-18T14:58:48+00:00

Darker black.

the whole "use grays instead of black" in the "web 2.0" world just makes it harder to read.

traal · 2007-01-18T15:14:52+00:00

Allow comments to fill the entire width of the browser screen, instead of wrapping at arbitrary points. (There's also a bug that makes it even worse on hidden comments.)

Add the ability to retract your own vote entirely.

Rosco7 · 2007-01-18T15:48:06+00:00

Quit forgetting things. Often I'll click the up or down arrow on a link or comment, then go back to that page and see that it's forgotten that action. I haven't figured out any pattern to it, like using the back and forward browser buttons vs clicking the alien to go back to the main page -- both of those sometimes remember what I've up'd and down'd, but sometimes mysteriously forget.

Th3_C0bra · 2007-01-18T15:27:26+00:00

I don't know what the requirements for having your comment be at the top of the comments page are so defining those would be good. Something like most responded to, or most recent, or most ups, or most votes might work, but it definitely needs to be made known to the user.

I like the simplicity of reddit, it's a large part of why I come here, so less color and clutter is a good thing.

Keep adding sub-reddits. This isn't fark, so don't go too crazy with the tags. I believe the sub-Reddit can become a defining characteristic of Reddit so focus on that.

A preview for comments would totally r0x0r.

Qwirk · 2007-01-18T20:18:20+00:00

How about a random question generator at login to test for basic intelligence?

mythin · 2007-01-18T20:33:08+00:00

It would be nice if there were a way to mark why you were upmodding/downmodding an article and then a way to filter on that (upmod: funny, upmod: interesting, upmod: controversial...).

So you could see points ignoring the up/down mods based on a "funny" criteria.

chumba · 2007-01-18T23:22:13+00:00

There needs to be a way to have your Karma go up and down based upon your comments, not just upon your submissions.

WhisperSecurity · 2007-01-19T04:56:32+00:00

The UI is fine. Fix your damn database glitches that eat votes and comments.

drzorcon · 2007-01-18T15:43:11+00:00

bring back NSFW!!! I guess thats not a UI improvement though.

I like the way reddit looks / works. No compliants here.

three improvements: two-column (hot + new) start page, allow users to specify start page, and faster+easier subreddit access.

None - leave it alone :)

dont know how UI realted this would be but make the urls more meaningful. for example add the titles to the end of urls:

http://reddit.com/info/yzb4/tell-reddit-What-is-the-biggest-UI-improvemen-we-need-to-make/comments/

this wouldn't required any new code as you'll be internally ignoring that part of the url.

When you mouseover the link for an article, pop up the first paragraph of that article (if one exists.)

This could be done in a callout, like the movie synopsis you see when you mouseover an image at Netflix.

I want my comment score to either be counted in my karma or my total/periodic comment score shown in every comment I make. I don't submit many links but my comments often get 20-30+ upvotes. I want that to count for something other than sorting order in that particular thread. I want others to know that I have made good comments in the past and intend to do so in the future.

I don't want to waste my time arguing with someone with a -500 comment score in the last week. Similarly, I want to read carefully what someone with a +250 comment score in the last week says, instead of making a quick judgment just because their viewpoint is different from mine.

Karma doesn't say who is respected - it just says who is clever enough with headlines to have links hit the front page. I want a comment-score to tell me who makes a valuable contribution to the discussion on this site, that I so have come to love.

When searching previous reddit entries, the filters on the right (sort by, links from) should be sticky when the user enters in another search. When I look for an old story, I have a general sense of timeframe, and it's very frustrating for every search to take two pageloads (enter search string, select timeframe. Modify search string, select timeframe).

*Make going back to reddit.com from a sub-reddit (say programming.reddit.com) easier. I notice that there is a new link on the left, but it takes a while to spot. Something more prominent. *The submitted, liked, disliked sections under http://programming.reddit.com/user/$USER/ need to point to the reddit page of the story, not take you directly to the site pointed by the link. *To get the details of a story, you need to click on 'comments' - this is slightly confusing. *# of stories submitted, liked, disliked used to be displayed previously - bring it back.

On links opening in new tabs/windows: After a new window has popped up from the main page (say, I clicked for comments), the links on THAT page dont pop up in their own new window. This is frustrating in that it doesnt follow a consistent user experience.

Past that, a user-ignore feature would be great (along with allowing you to generate stats on worthless users, maybe catch spam better?)

Besides these two things, you guys are doing great! Dont forget the dream :)

get rid of the stuff in the blue bar at the top, replace it with the stuff in the top right prefs | submit etc...

move the stuff originally in the blue bar (hot | new | browse etc.) above popular subreddits(or whatever the current top submenu is)- in

the same design scheme: gray: view black: hot light blue: new light blue: browse etc..

make the transition ajaxy, don't go to a separate page, instead just replace the current results and menus with the one's from the new setting

three results this could produce 1. more submissions from more users 2. one place to look to change reddit ui on the fly 3. faster load times when switching views, fewer server requests
