Announcement: We look less boring!
Welcome to the new /r/anime!
So hi! We're back from our downtime, and clearly we look a lot different. I'm still tired and this announcement message is going to be just about as pithy and incomplete as the last one.
For those of you who doidn't know this: We're actually pretty annoyed right now. tl;dr: The admins said that they're removing the concept of subreddit CSS when they rewrite the site. We've been sitting on this theme for a while waiting to put it out at 500K subscribers, but with that announcement we decided we'd rather just get it out now so it can be used at least a little before becoming entirely obsolete. Given that I worked on this theme on and off for more than a year, starting before I was even a mod, it's kind of important to me that you guys can at least get a taste of it before it gets forced out of production. So that's the story behind this.
Anyway! Enough of the sad stuff, we have a theme and I personally think it's awesome. I'd walk through you some of the high points but honestly I think it'll be fun for you guys to see what there is to see on your own for now. The visual style was redone to be simple but not quite so boring, having a personality of its own without overpowering the real content you guys submit. The focus is kept on your stuff, while other important things are easier to access. That's the basic idea.
I don't know what else to say here lol.
CSS BUGS: Send a private message to /u/geo1088
Hope you all enjoy it! Do let me know if there's anything I can do for you guys.

I wonder if it's possible to distribute the stylesheet somehow, like as a browser add-on or as part of Stylish. I remember that the MLP subreddits used to have an add-on that would show comment faces site wide.

u/xJetStorm :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/technizor Apr 22 '17
It could work for stuff like comment faces and spoiler tags since those are just hyperlinks with special href values, but a lot of other structural things (like sidebar, posts) might get changes to the structure or class purely as a "fuck you" to subreddits that try to push this.

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 22 '17
They'll be introducing another set of tools that will replace CSS for customization, but I still think it's retarded that they caon't keep CSS as an option for advanced users. The only reason for the switch I can see is "People thought it was hard."

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 22 '17
Realistically I know it's kinda important to have separation there, but at the same time it just feels wrong to take one feature from one client just for the sake of consistency with the others. It's certainly a tough trade-off, and I know the admins are probably putting a fair amount of thought into it themselves, but until it happens it's going to be hard to imagine Reddit without CSS - especially since as of now we don't even have anything solid on what it'll be replaced with.

Customization difficulty decrease is just going to increase the amount shitty subreddits. People probably were staying away from building a subreddit because they couldn't customize it or build it the way they wanted to die to lack of skill.
The smaller subreddits that already exist will probably be happy because they can finally make their subs look nicer and more appealing l, which is great for them, but for people who have poured hours into their css gets shit on. Its ridiculous.

We can have a better plan than that. It's possible to write browser extensions to restore comment faces. New users coming to the subreddit won't have it by default, but it's better than nothing.
I'm a webdev and I can work on this. I'm betting I'm not the only one either (considering this is reddit), so I'll open source it later on for collaboration. Lemme see how fast I can put together a quick-and-dirty version first, then I'll send you mods a mod-mail about it.

It's a shame that the Reddit admins are making this decision to abandon CSS after all the work you have put into this, but I won't let this great piece of CSS art go to waste.

Not sure what gave them the idea of removing CSS given that
a) Hundreds of hours of time have been spent making it an example being some including this sub and One here, an ungodly amount of time from individual people as well as groups
and
b) If a sub is big enough to matter, it should have at least one mod able to CSS, plus there are help subreddits such as /r/csshelp , I've seen subs with as little as 30 subs have amazing stylesheets

I do not want comment faces to go away, let me say that first before I get angry replies, but personally, I won't miss the loss of comment faces because I'm one of those people who use Reddit with an app and the comment faces only appear as text for me. That said, the few times I've browsed on a desktop I've really liked the faces. They're awesome and what makes this sub so unique compared to others.
Just because I don't get to see them some of the time, I don't think that no one should and sit here salty thinking that it's so unfair I can't. I chose to use an app, I accept the app can't handle them, if I want to see a thread with faces I get off my ass and pull it up on my desktop.
However, making the spoiler tags no longer work is a kinda huge deal to me. Those do work on my app and mobile. I don't really read manga or seek out content from series that have been animated because well.. to me "the books are better than the movie" and I really don't want to be disappointed by how, say, the next JoJo anime is done.
So, how is discussion going to happen now without a lot of participants being spoiled when someone mentions events from manga/LN that haven't been animated yet? Do we just let X people be spoiled and have to report spoilers to save the rest of those who are late to a thread? Are y'all going to have to make a "no mention from any manga/LN/game and don't give away the plot twist even if the anime is a decade old" rule and watch every thread like a hawk, or worse, all comments must be approved before they are posted? I don't see how there can be a reasonable solution here without having to stifle discussion to avoid spoilers, or just let people be spoiled, for some anime that might cause people to not bother watching.
Maybe I'm dumb to be more than annoyed by the loss of spoiler tags and they're coming up with a "new and improved way" of doing it, but I'll believe it when I see it :/

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 22 '17
The admins are making spoiler tags in comments a native feature with this. So that's the silver lining. I guess that comment faces aren't really that great for mobile users anyway, but we've had them around for a while and I think a lot of us would still be sad to see them go anyway.

Wait. Reddit is removing CSS? So every subreddit will look the same? Can't say I like that decision at all.
Does that mean everything that's ever been spoiler tagged on r/anime will be unspoilered all at once? Our spoiler tags are essential to the functioning of this community so what happens then?
As for this theme, I like it but if I have one suggestion I think this text should be all-caps since it's like the title of the page. And this might be a bit nitpicky but I preferred the old blue, I think the saturation is a tad too high on this one to the point it's a tad distracting. I like the improved functionality and overall sleeker design with the rounded edges, I just think the colour is a bit too much.

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 22 '17
Well, no. Our spoiler tag format is nice because it only displays the title as plain text, so even if it becomes a regular link you'll have to hover over the link to read the spoiler text. But unless Reddit does some sort of migration or something, they won't work as spoiler tags from mobile devices.

Welcome to the new /r/anime!
Good job, geo!
I didn't know that reddit was doing away with the CSS component (on the moderation side of things). That's really unfortunate and really silly on their part unless reddit is able to completely replace the functionality that the original framework provided.
From what I have read/seen, that rarely seems to be the case when they implement new changes. But, hopefully, you guys/gals will be able to take advantage of the new tools (whatever they may be).
Keep up the great moderating geo and the other mods! :)

Damn, it must be pretty shitty to have worked with CSS all the time and then having to switch to a supposedly 'easier' system. Too often websites or businesses seem to want to change things too much to make it supposedly more convenient, even though most of its users are accustomed to the system already in place.
I hope this will all work itself out and that either Reddit or the /r/Anime mods find a way to make things work. Keep up the great work anyway! For now I'll enjoy the new look as much as I can. <3

Yeah, but facebook blue sucks, no offence.

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 22 '17
I was going for a more saturated, brighter version of the blue we already had. Probably won't get changed now but if you have an idea for a different color I'm all ears.

I don't like how the theme looks in normal/daylight mode but it looks pretty cool in Night Mode. Now /r/anime can be of the few subs I can enjoy Night Mode along the theme.

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 22 '17
Anything specific about the standard mode I could change, or are you just a hardcore nightmode user?

I never really cared too much about /r/anime having a new theme, got used to the old one after 4+ years. After the update though it feels a bit more modern and works well. You did a great job /u/geo1088, it's a nice, clean look.

It looks...certainly different.
An improvement, definitely.
The admins said that they're removing the concept of subreddit CSS when they rewrite the site.
This means no more comment faces?

Is it intentional that the numbering on the far left of the posts are now gone? TBH it makes it harder to keep track of up to what page I already am when browsing new and have like 500 posts open on never-ending mode
1
u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 22 '17
I don't remember if that's intentional or not actually. I'll add it to the "known issues" list, don't see any reason to leave it out.

This looks really nice! I actually have gold from somewhere before, but it actually works well as a theme so I'll use that for the time being.
Nice job everyone! :)

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 22 '17
I was considering breaking this out into a full gold theme but I decided to not bother with message pages. Glad you like it for that though!

Am I allowed to give criticism/suggestions? don't eat me
A picture speaks a thousand words so I'll just show you my thoughts on what could be done:
Reduces visual clutter/cleans up the look (no longer drawing unnecessary attention to the empty header)
Further differentiates the subreddits bar, navigation bar, and announcement bar
Anyone agree with me? Love the new theme btw. These changes would just make it go from good to great.

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 23 '17
Hmm, interesting idea. I'm still focusing on fixing stuff that's broken but I'll leave this marked unread and mess around with it a bit when I get back home and stuff.

The sub looks different but the thing that makes it be different won't be here for long so we may have to change again before too long.

Where did the "click search" for things like; cosplay, fanart, and discussion threads, on the sidebar disappear to?

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 23 '17
It's the blue button to the left of the search bar. Give it a hover and they'll show up.

u/ergzay Apr 23 '17
Hey /u/geo1088 is there any chance you could start using higher-res versions of the subreddit icons. HiDPI displays make those cute avatars look really ugly because they're all pixelated.
1
u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 23 '17
This has been on my to-do list for a while as a HiDPI screen user myself, I have to talk with /u/urban287 about re-creating the text boxes and stuff to keep it consistent. You should notice that the new theme's button icons, snoo, and list flair stuff are already compatible though ^.^

u/Animestuck https://anilist.co/user/Animestuck Apr 25 '17
So, late to the party here, but I think I get the gist of it. My question is related to the flairs, as many people have mentioned those may be going away. Without those, won't we lose Reddit Anime List as well? /u/Jimboom7 If I remember how this site collected data, wouldn't the loss of flairs stop your site's ability to collect data? Is there a backup plan or something?

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 25 '17
According to the admins user flairs will continue to exist, so that site would still work given the relevant API calls were updated to reflect the new API.

I know this is pretty late but would you mind putting a link to the /r/anime sings stuff in the wiki drop-down? A link to the index would work also.
1
u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 27 '17
There's supposed to be a link to the index there, still have to add it. I can also put a link to the Sings page in there too, why not.

u/Drwildy :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Drwildy Apr 27 '17
Did something with the CSS make it so scrolling on pages doesn't work with the scroll wheel. Only /r/anime is giving me problems with this. I can still manually scroll by dragging the bar up or down.

As someone who only uses reddit on mobile via redditisfun, does this affect me?
2
u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Apr 29 '17
It shouldn't. The only things mobile users see that we have to do with CSS is spoiler tags, and the format of those hasn't changed.

The admins seriously need to fuck off with removing css. The idea that they'd do this honestly has me questioning if they've gone so far off the deep end, that the only cure would be a lobotomy.

u/Saikimo :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Saikimo Apr 22 '17 edited Apr 22 '17
The only thing I don't like about the new CSS is how bright the normal text color is on nightmode
It burns my eyes. But I fixed it already for myself with the handy snippet feature of RES
I just post my little fix for everyone else who wants the text to be a bit greyer.
Edit: I noticed it also turns links grey so I here the updated version
.md *{
color: #b5b5b5 !important;
}
.md a{
color: rgb(140, 179, 217) !important;
}
.md a:visited{
color: #316192 !important;

.md a:hover{

Can we have the easy [-] thing like most subreddits do nowadays? r/lifeprotips is a good example. They're just so much convenient.

u/Valeddy :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Valeddy Apr 22 '17
THANKS!
Thanks mods for your hard work. Believe me, it wasn't wasted all the time you guys dedicated to make this sub a better place.
We are gonna miss a lot of things, but in the end, the users and the sense of community it's all that matters.
/u/whitelance655 you made it, i told you boy.

u/WhiteLance655 https://anilist.co/user/WhiteLance Apr 22 '17 edited Apr 22 '17
HOLY SHIT. THIS IS AMAZING.
Thanks SO MUCH mods! I didn't think even one of my suggestions would make it, but I'm glad it's that one! And to think it's the first new one to be rolled out... I feel honored!
EDIT: So I actually took the time and read most of the shit that's gone down and I'm not veeeery happy... That said, I do want to congratulate the mods on making r/anime one of my favorite subreddits and as well as the users who make it enjoyable. The comment faces, the flairs, everything about this sub is incredibly fun and to see it all just go away is infuriating, however, let's enjoy it while it lasts! The sub is looking better than ever!

This is so smooth, so cool, and so everything I love about this subreddit. If this does go away, as it looks like it will, it reminds me of all the reasons I'm here all the time, why our mods are fantastic, and I absolutely appreciate the time it took to make this.
Great Job

Shit that I know needs to be fixed
If your Reddit language isn't English, a bunch of buttons don't display properly and some text appears to overlap. Biggest problem is in the top bar with the "wiki" button, which doesn't move when the button sizes change between languages. Thanks /u/jossepr8, /u/SirLegolas13, and /u/Kei_One.
I have to figure out somewhere else to put this I think, flowing this around isn't going to work. Either far right of that bar or somewhere by where the announcement banner is, I'm thinking.
???
The font size of Markdown headings in comments is too damn high. Thanks /u/h4xolotl.
The filter dropdown is in a weird spot on search pages. It shouldn't be there. Thanks /u/TommaClock.
Shit that got fixed
Fixed the Crunchyroll Guest Pass Thread link in the sidebar being old as an artifact of cloning the sidebar from the testing sub. Thanks /u/Taggatle.
Widened the link score column so large numbers aren't cut off. Thanks /u/fecalrecon.
Added a missing fallback font for the heading buttons in the sidebar. Shouldn't have affected many people, but if you didn't have Verdana installed on your computer those buttons would show up in a serif font which was bad. Thanks /u/kadunke.
Tables in nightmode were blinding and unreadable. Thanks /u/Jiecut and /u/scriptd.
I fucked up a whole bunch of user flairs. Thanks /u/RandomRedditorWithNo, and also /u/NotTheRealMorty for bringing his comment to my attention.
The "Edit" button at the very top right of the subscription bar has no background and therefore is unreadable. Thanks /u/jossepr8 and /u/ds39.
If you don't use RES, the "My Subreddits" dropdown menu is transparent and really hard to read. Thanks /u/Dreadin.
