| Jan 26, 2022 at 21:45 | comment | added | kaya3 | @BenKelly "we lose info that way" - not really. It's one bit of information (watched / not watched), either way the information is there, it's about how to present it. I think you mean you lose explanatory power, because a yellow background doesn't explain itself; but users don't actually need to know this. The goal is to draw attention to content that is more relevant; that's done better by literally highlighting the content, not a bright rectangle which draws attention to itself. It matters less whether users know why their attention is drawn there, if it's drawn to the wrong place. | |
| Jan 25, 2022 at 19:45 | comment | added | HolyBlackCat | @BenKelly Thank you. Negatively received design changes were very rarely reverted before, if at all, so it feels like a step in the right direction. I'm not a fan of the rest of the changes too (sorry), but at least it's a bit better now. | |

Add custom css .s-post-summary--stats-item.is-watched {display:none !important;} .s-post-summary__watched {background-color: var(--yellow-100);}

| Jan 25, 2022 at 7:42 | comment | added | GSerg | I would argue that the absence of the backgrounds for questions with watched or ignored tags is the main reason why the new home page leaves distinct feeling that it has been stripped of important information. The "Watched" sticker do not serve the purpose of visually splitting the page into the areas of interest like it was before. It is important to fix that. | |
