updated to reflect new status

| Oct 2, 2018 at 19:59 | comment | added | Robert Harvey | Logo is too small. Overall, the new theme feels like it's unfinished. I like the new theme much better on Stack Overflow (where it flows in a coherent whole) than I do here. | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 21:09 | comment | added | gnat | downvote everything on principle, wow. Wonder if staff experimented with posting something that could be useful for these folks, that would be a neat test on how hard are their principles, would they vote down even in cases like that | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 16:28 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @gnat That's a bit of a leap. People who downvote, particularly on meta, do so for a variety of reasons. I even saw someone state that they downvote everything someone from staff posts on principle now. Users are welcome to vote as they wish. At this point, the post is at zero, so it'd take a lot of work for it to get below -8. My goal in my comments is to point out that downvotes won't prevent the change from happening but it will potentially make fewer users aware of the change and able to participate in the discussion, which would be a disservice to them. Not voting is another option. | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 16:24 | comment | added | gnat | so, you care about users and because of that, you want this upvoted. And I guess folks who voted down (5 of them so far), they don't care about users. I see | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 16:14 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @gnat as I said, many, many very experienced users - including myself - are blind to the right nav column entirely and do not see the featured box or think to check it. I just had one of the highest-rep users on a site state as much and the post had been up for nearly three weeks but downvoted to -8. | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 15:52 | comment | added | gnat | @Catija I don't see reason to worry because featured tag keeps it prominent no matter how people vote, I saw that with original left nav announcement that stayed widely visible at score -10... -20... -30 etc | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 15:46 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @gnat I'm not quite sure how downvoting this makes our lives any harder... If anything, when these posts hit -8 (which hasn't happened here) and disappear from the active questions list, it makes the users less able to stay informed, since many people don't see the link in the sidebar. The change is happening, you don't have to be happy about it, but impeding this post from being seen hurts those who may actually not know what's going on much more than it hurts us. | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 15:38 | comment | added | gnat | @DocBrown here is a possible explanation --> "since they stopped doing things of use to me, and only keep making my life harder I feel inclined to make their lives harder in return..." | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 13:22 | comment | added | Doc Brown | Guys, the downvote button is not a "I don't like this topic" button. If we like this or not, the new site theme is coming, and Meta is the correct place to ask for feedback. If you have objections, please write an answer or a comment, but don't downvote without letting us know why. | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 9:00 | comment | added | gnat | tip for those who will get shocked after left nav falls on them (like it happened before at MSE and SO): How can I remove or hide the left navigation bar? | |
