Reddit Formatting

It's like Craigslist - they haven't made any major UI changes since they launched. New additions, sure, but not a whole revamp.

Exactly. To me, Reddit is on par with Craigslist for UIs.

I think part of the deal is that it doesn't change and is just easy to navigate and use.

Eh, I'm just ranting about how I can't stand their aesthetics....lol

I don't use Reddit, I find the website useless most of the time, and highly inappropriate any other time.
-
@Nic novel idea. Not changing a UI? How will you know that the site is fresh and new?

A lot of value to that. A lot of sites could learn from that. Change for change sake is a very foolish thing.

True, but I think this site could use a refresh...

Refresh? Why? So I have to re-learn a UI again, just so the site can appear "trendy"? F[moderated] that shit.

Lol That's one way to put it.

How would you feel if every year car manufacturers re-arranged where the steering wheel was, the shifter, the pedals, and the rear view mirror, just to be "hip"? That's how I feel every time a site does a redesign.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Me too. I tend to be a community power user, I need buttons to not move, behaviour to not change and loading speeds to be fast. Anything that messes that up makes a site a lot less useful to me.

Reddit isn't flashy but it is pretty functional. Not my favorite but I appreciate the stability and predictability.
