| Dec 16, 2021 at 3:45 | comment | added | Bob | Reddit is an interesting example, to say the least, because many, many people (myself included) absolutely refuse to use "new Reddit" where, amongst other issues, stick top bar is apparently a thing. old.reddit.com, on the other hand, does not have such a misfeature. At the end of the day, the question is whether you care more about the content or the navigation... obviously a portion of the userbase is in disagreement with the PMs here. | |

Ugh math is hard. I hope it's correct

| Aug 31, 2021 at 13:27 | comment | added | ColleenV | This is why trying to justify a decision to your users with spurious excuses is a bad tactic. The excuse “not many people use it” makes us wonder why we’re not important enough to matter, and the excuse “other products do it” makes us want to point out all the differences between other products and this one. I’m sad that SE chose this path. They could have been announced they were making the top bar responsive instead of just taking away a feature and it probably would have been well received. A well-designed responsive top bar is better than having to choose sticky or not sticky. | |

| Aug 26, 2021 at 0:55 | comment | added | Catija Staff | Yes, the change was that the top bar never was sticky until the SO top bar was redesigned and we created a user preference that allowed people to choose between the two - but only on SO - the rest of the network still only hid the top bar as you scrolled. I thought the sticky option was really great and asked for it to be made an option network-wide. I'm not sure why sticky was the default. Someone in another answer guessed that it was about marketing and making products more visible... I don't know. I didn't work here at the time. | |
