| Aug 9, 2021 at 17:56 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @bad_coder all I wanted is what I wrote in this answer: week or two heads up. This would still be annoying to see them change despite majority of users against it, but at least they would have said before actually changing. That's the top of the "annoyance pyramid". | |
| Aug 9, 2021 at 17:37 | comment | added | bad_coder | @ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 regarding the cheese (those info stats) from my experience with designers their main thought is minimalism (lots of empty space), while engineers tend to cram info into space. It can be said e.g. the last seen did raise privacy afterthoughts and there were highly upvoted threads saying it (so there was previous discussion) - perhaps a change in granularity could be a middle ground. These are difficult decisions - no way around it. Should they have announced this some other way? Perhaps, but they can still post separate threads calling for broader discussion. | |
| Aug 9, 2021 at 17:13 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @bad_coder no good faith from me. If they would have just moved the cheese around, i.e. placing the stats in different place they deem better, it could be fine even I didn't like the new location. But alas, they took away the cheese, replacing it with... nothing. Nada. Void. And this annoys me more than I thought it would, because they were already going in a good direction. And this is the opposite direction now. | |
| Aug 9, 2021 at 16:36 | comment | added | bad_coder | I read this change on good faith. SE's redesign is refactoring massive amounts of legacy code while implementing new features (e.g. Dark Theme, etc). This change was radical but it comes inline with the ongoing massive Stacks changes. The design team is probably brainstorming every aspect of the site and this change is "transitional" I'm not surprised they rolled out changes experimentally before getting user feedback and discussion. Probably their planning just didn't line up with the announcement calendar. I expect to revert my DV in their time. | |
| Aug 9, 2021 at 15:20 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @TylerH interesting, thanks. | |
| Aug 9, 2021 at 14:16 | comment | added | TylerH | FWIW, I did get a response from Philippe on my answer to "what should I do/not do" where I pointed out this as a "what happened?" moment. His response doesn't say much, but doesn't say nothing, either. | |
| Aug 9, 2021 at 13:20 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @West I wish, then we had someone external to "blame". Sadly, that's ages old history of Stack Exchange, call it the "Dark Side", which I was hoping they were putting behind them. Well, they're not. | |
| Aug 9, 2021 at 12:38 | comment | added | Kevin B | @west no, this isn’t the first time updates related to this project has been rolled out in this way | |
| Aug 9, 2021 at 9:02 | comment | added | West | Stackoverflow has been bought off by Prosus I wonder if this backwardness has something to do with that | |
| Aug 8, 2021 at 7:40 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Kevin I mean, essentially, all the product-discovery questions. | |
| Aug 8, 2021 at 3:29 | comment | added | Kevin B | If you’ve been following the recent changes, all changes in the past two years have followed the same path as this one. I don’t quite get the “chose this time” bit. They aren’t interested in our feedback for the change, they only want the free bug catching. | |
| Aug 7, 2021 at 10:37 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @John thanks. Sadly, I'm certain this isn't the last time such thing happens. :( | |

minor fixes

| Aug 7, 2021 at 10:02 | comment | added | John Omielan | This answer expresses very well my feelings about what should have been done, and how it was actually done instead. I, too, am disappointed since I thought they were making starting to make progress but, instead, SE is at least sometimes slipping back to their old ways of doing things. I hope this sort of thing doesn't occur too often in the future. | |
