Where on earth did you get the idea that a dropdown menu is what's killing the server?

Is there any chance you guys could just give us a simple ribbon instead of the whole menu? 😉

The ribbon is just that menu bar Microsoft slapped onto all their Office apps after they ditched the old dropdown menus. 🙂

Well, glad you finally showed up to the party. Not that anyone here actually knows what they're talking about anyway. Total waste of time. 🙂
Can we please talk about Ribbon? Seriously, someone needs to take a look at this. 😉

Maybe selecting from a dropdown menu doesn't register as a new page view, but clicking through the main links does? More clicks equals more sponsors? It's probably just a conspiracy theory, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that's how they play it.

Man, I just wish they'd come up with a way to do this without screwing over our current perks.

- Like how they messed up the post counts for some users a while back—"will be fixed soon," right? As if.
- Or that mess with signature formatting (instead of having tiny signatures people can ignore, we get them in standard font, and you don't even realize it's a signature until you've read half the first line)—"will be fixed soon," yeah, okay.
- And now one of the most used tools on the site is broken—who knows why, but "will be fixed soon"—give me a break.

Look, I can write without using letters if I have to, but WHY?
We aren't supposed to be moving backward in tech, are we? 🤷?

If it's a server load issue—just delete everything older than five years, who cares! 🤷!

I spent about twenty minutes trying to fix the menu on this forum, and honestly, all I managed to do in that tiny window was get it back on the homepage at least. If anyone actually has the energy or the will to try fixing the rest, here’s the code I found.

HTML Code:

mellowlynx68 said:Man, I wish they’d just find a way to fix this without cutting our current perks.

- Oh look, they messed up some users' post counts a while back—"coming soon," they say. Yeah, right.
- And that mess with signature formatting (instead of tiny signatures we can ignore, we get full-sized text that looks like part of the post until you realize it's just a signature)—"coming soon." Give me a break.
- Now one of the most used tools for people browsing Reddit is broken too. No idea why, but supposedly it'll be "fixed soon." As if.

Look, I could write without using any letters if I wanted to, but WHY?
We aren't supposed to be moving backward in tech, are we? 🤷?
If it's about server load—just delete everything older than five years, who cares! 🤷!

I almost forgot one more thing: the "remember me" login button doesn't work half the time. There's a button right there, it stops working, and nobody fixes it.
This "not fixing things" seems to be the new trend here.🙂.
When something breaks on my computer, I call a technician and they fix it. I don't get what the issue is with Reddit 🤷. Is it a money thing? Just say so, we'll all chip in; nobody's being stingy here 🥳 🤣.

I feel like I'm missing out on that 'falling' effect too 😢

(though honestly, that whole 'idea' with the text version doesn't sound half bad to me)

@mellowlynx68/">@@mellowlynx68...you didn't mention that you can only really do the text thing in a quick reply, because if you're trying to quote someone—which, by the way, isn't even working for me right now 😳—you pretty much have to use the edit post option ☕

@mellowlynx68/">@@mellowlynx68...you didn't mention that you can only format text in the quick reply box. If you're quoting someone (which isn't even working for me right now 😳), you can only do it through the edit post option ☕

Idea?
Go to the Text version and try looking at something like the New York Times archives. It’ll open five different pages of headlines, and since they're sorted oldest first, you have to click all the way to the last page, scroll to the bottom, and hunt for the newest posts. Since it's not the full site, you can't tell which ones you've already read (and nobody's memorizing headlines). You finally click one, but once you exit, you're stuck back on the very first page...
On top of that, you can't see who started the thread or who posted last before you clicked.
And with the text version, you can't distinguish between the actual post content and what's just a quote from someone else.
Total junk!

Honestly, this whole Reddit setup feels so clunky and outdated! It takes way too much scrolling and clicking just to jump from one sub to another—even when they’re practically right next to each other. And let's be real, it’s pretty obvious they’re doing it just to cram more ads in there so they can milk us for every single click. I think I’m honestly only still hanging around here out of pure habit at this point.

Is this a joke?
Just switch over to the Text version and then maybe try the mobile view. You'll end up opening about five different tabs of headlines and b>.... whatever /it doesn't matter/ ....



See more : Mobile View (for example) <----- clickable (at the top of the page) 😁
clicking that mobile view link (for instance) brings you back to the standard layout image

You didn't really read what I wrote , they aren't the same thing, but it works as a workaround until...... blah blah blah 🙄
