Apparently this is part of a site-wide redesign already prototyped out

This link was mentioned, but buried in a thread. I just want to put it somewhere more visible.

What bothers me, honestly is less the new design and more that it already exists, with, as far as I can tell, no (English-language?) warning to users that it's coming, let alone input from users. They've just decided, and our opinions -- or us knowing in advance, even -- aren't important.

[owlmoose]

Totally agreed, this total lack of transparency is very disturbing.

[justira]

Yeah, that's the thing. The lack of transparency is just awful.

[iiluov]

It's like they tried to think up the ugliest, most unwieldy design imaginable.

[specificite]
