Hmmm. I prefer the cleaner and simpler original design.

I think the problem is with the blue background they added.

I do like the customize your reddit although it should take less horrizontal space.

*update here is a picture without the annoying blue background http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2288/2526292005_6ec376faf4_o....

Love the new look. More seperation, better use of typography/colours in general, and just overall better feel. Don't get why so many haters dont like it

Oh wait, I do, but Reddit is smart and listens to its users: Preferences -> Compress the Link Display (Which is the top tory on reddit right now)

Good job guys!

Yeah, I think it looks good, but the community itself has been shockingly changed. Even as recently as a few months ago I found the discussions to be well reasoned, but it has really fallen apart. Now it is a contest to see who can make the best joke. I removed reddit.com from my selected subreddits and it has helped... but even the science discussions are not great. I hardly visit any more since I (re-)discovered HN.

Ow. The triple arrow thing is over the top. The orig UI was nicely subtle and understated. Too much overthinking user experience sometimes isn't good.

OTOH, users always bitch about change.

It renders all weird in links. :(

The new font for "permalink parent report reply" under each comment distracts attention from the comment text. Otherwise fine design. Long time reddit user.

It's all my fault :)

I've been working with the Reddits for the past couple weeks on this realign and it's certainly been quite a challenge given how well the previous design fit the audience.

You can also check out the latest design prototypes @ http://reddit.rrwhite.com (we're going to keep doing incremental improvements) and leave feedback @ http://reddit.uservoice.com.

Nice work man. You've got a good touch at this stuff. ActiveScaffold really saved me on a Rails project.

Now all they need to do is get users to stop being such asshats.

Bah. It's turning into Digg....

But it's been doing that for a long time. I quit reddit way back when.
