not much has changed apart from the top grey bar (which i never used anyway), as far as i can tell

Same here, I don't notice much "visible change" form a user perspective, so it's hard for me to have strong feelings in one direction or the other

It also shows a "x reacted to ..." message every time someone reacts to one of your posts/status updates and every time you react to someone's posts/status updates. It's kind of useless TBH

I got this kind of notification about a thread I created. Although there was no reaction to any post in that thread, so I don't know what it was  I guess I'll get to see all pros/cons as time goes by.

agreed.

I much preferred when it said "x thought your post was funny" or "x agreed with you post". kept it relevant to what the reaction actually was instead of a generic message.

 

Also you're not going to get sued over using the word "react" by the Fine Brothers are you?

Comment what you like in the new update.

This isn't what I meant though  Check your profiles, this message appears on your profile as well.

Ah, I see. I don't check my own profile very often though, so I wouldn't know if having those messages there is good, bad, or irrelevant

Seniors/Kids/Whatever react to LTT most histrionic videos. Must happen.

[Jurrunio]

Let's say I havent got used to it so it still seems a bit weird.

[Drak3]

Don't like the popup menu for like/agree/etc.

New LTT Linus reacts to old NCIX Linus

whats new?

To be fair, not much has changed at all. I think what has changed is nice. Especially the fact people can change their themes now by the profile button.

[Ryujin2003]

The heart in the circle icon doesn't really for the style of the quote, share, reply, and other icons. Having a white heart in a gray circle doesn't look natural to a white background with gray icon.

This is what it looks like in MS Edge: 

 

It's awful...

That makes the replies look equally misaligned though

You chose edge.

The most positive meaningful add for me personally was being able to like/informative/agree on status update now.

Its good but the top bar seems a bit cluttered too me and I really don't like the Facebook style like thing.  Those are the only things I have noticed, I guess it will take some getting used to. And the area under a post seems way too big but that might just be safari in fairness.

People seem to prefer it so we can get places faster

I am not saying its bad, it just seems cluttered and will take some adjusting.

Could you add some kind of border on top of the Page# bar? At the moment it looks like something is missing.

 

 

The sticky bar up top is a bit distracting and offers no relevant information to the thread you are currently viewing. The bar itself does look nice though (just not when you're reading comments). Also did you remove one of the "like" buttons?

 

Edit: I see there's now a short delay to showing the thread preview when hovering over a title. THANK YOU!

 

Edit2: Why show the names of the users who reacted to a post? It looks ugly. Also the number-of-likes boxes are not aligned inside the parent box and I think the previous design was cleaner, these ones look bulky.

Seems a bit cluttered. But i just like simplicity.

Not any more - I ran a survey and the vast majority of users didn't use the pin feature, so it was removed during the nav redesign.

I appreciate that it's not perfect for everybody, but it's only 45 pixels tall (not really massive), and does serve a purpose (it's not just art).

 

This function is working and already developed. Wouldn't it be possible for it to be somewhere in settings?

And 45 pixes is not too much? WELL, I didn't even gave MS Edge a shot because with tabs,search and bookmark bar it's few pixels taller than chrome.

Maybe the occasional F11?

Its awful! I hate it! I wanna go back to Vbulletin!

 

On a serious note. I dig it.

The top bar is a tad cluttered. But i'll get used to it.

This was designed to allow people to get to things they probably need often more easily and tuck the unused options away, as well as ensuring people don't get lost.  The old site was broken into 3 sections (activity, forum, and store) and now you are always followed by the same bar.  I think it helps keep everything more unified.
