I used to laugh at people like you. "Timid souls!" I mockingly exclaimed, "No doubt they tremble at their own shadows as well!" My first introduction to the new top bar came some time ago, when Profes …

The old design was nice, but those heavy, bold numbers added unnecessary weight. With over 280,438,789 views a month on Stack Overflow, that weight was no longer acceptable, particularly considering w …

We didn't show positive feedback on these initially, for more or less the reasons you state. It confused people. I don't think removing audits entirely is ever a good idea. That said, we could certa …

We're keeping this intentionally minimalistic starting out: let's face it, this the biggest change we've made to the actual criteria for closing in a good long while, so it's worth taking some time to …

After you've edited a post, it's partially yours. Not primarily, and certainly not entirely, but... If you did a good job, you deserve some credit, and if you messed up, you certainly deserve some of …

I don't particularly care about this for questions, but it'd be great for answers... So long as they don't pull a UserVoice and break linking with crappy AJAX.

Of course you ignore it. It's in the right-hand sidebar. That's where ads live. IMHO, that's just fine, most of the time - after all, if you're focusing on the main content area you'll probably see …

Short answer: this is by design and unlikely to change. These aren't discussion sites, and the goal of displaying any comments initially is to highlight important information added by a third-party, n …

Are you sure you weren't on the front page? Items listed there have a tooltip containing the first few lines of the question, while on the Questions page list those are always visible in the list itse …

Same reason the rest of the voting buttons show up. That said, I agree that telling you you can't award the bounty should probably happen instead of first showing you the Big Scary Confirmation.
