I just noticed (4pm PST) that now there are “like” and social media link icons underneath our posts, and our rank/badges got shifted to the right of our icons. I have to say, I am not liking the look. Pushing badges to the right is now going to compress our posts, visually. =(
EDIT: Link to the official sticky thread about the 7/21 update
I don’t like it.

Yep, looks way too cluttered. Only change I like is now when you are inside a thread, the links at the top are there for each sub-forum that you are in (say I am in a Halo 5 thread, it will then give me access to “Halo 5: Guardians”, “Games”, and “Forums” so I can click less to get back. This one say “General Discussion”, “Community”, "Forums). I also realize that I can now select “dark theme” for the forums.
Not a fan of it, either.
Edit: just got a notification that a post was quoted. That is cool.

The visual clutter around our posts needs to go. But everything else is good and useful. We now get a notification when someone quotes us, something that people have asked for ever since the previous site update.
I don’t have a like button and I don’t see any social media stuff underneath the posts, but I do see that annoying line going across the page.
I don’t like the new look since it’s making everything cluttered and compressed. Please change it back.

Huh, interesting. They should be under the white line. Where are you accessing the site?

Yeah, putting stuff below our posts makes them easier to miss, plus they’d be easier to miss when people have signatures. I preferred the differently-colored boxes to these bland black circles.

On my desktop at home. I’m using an older version of Firefox though so maybe that could be it? IDK.

Perhaps. I am using Chrome currently on a desktop, and I checked and it also shows up with the most recent version of Firefox.
Sigh, I guess I just won’t be able to like stuff anymore.
