    reddit yesterday, eliminated the old reddit for logged out lurkers, its only logged in. i found a reskin extension to make it old reddit, but it has some flaws, i think its new. needs alot of kinks to work out though.

    if you want an old reskin extension, its called class reddit layout on extensions, it makes the new ugly UI turn into the old one(it has flaws so be warned)

      Can you elaborate on what you don’t like about the new reddit UI? Just curious as a designer

        Lots of wasted white space and I don’t think RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) works equally great with new one. I was used to old’s UI, had a basic set of RES commands mapped,so always defaulted to old one. New one I dislike.

        Change for sake of change is not always good. Old Reddit worked(works technically still) and it is good. It might not have the most modern looking UI but functionally it is way better.

        2 ugly side bars with distracting, and the infinite scrolling , plus the amount of space leftover on the sides. also it tends to lag the more you scroll. with old reddit it doesnt have any of that. the new also forces a popup to login eventually.
