| Sep 20, 2017 at 9:30 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Zanna yes, it was Shog's comment you linked to that I (mistakenly, apparently) understood to be saying that reviewing had gone up. My bad. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 9:24 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | @terdon in addition to Eliah Kagan's comment (I also linked and quoted Shog9's highly upvoted plea to replace the text in the review link in the CW answer in favour of keeping the current design - maybe I need to clarify this?), this positive post Has the top bar redesign met its goals? admits unambiguously (I think) that reviewing is down... If reviewing was up, I personally might support the new design regardless of whatever else I dislike about it. Review is the deal-breaker for me | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 1:29 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @terdon As I understand it, the number of reviews being done on SO has indeed declined dramatically. See Is the top bar redesign the sole cause of the suggested edit slowdown?, Please change the review icon back to a text link (by Shog9), and SO mod Bhargav Rao's messages in this conversation. | |
| Sep 19, 2017 at 20:54 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Zanna where do you get that from? I had understood that the horrible new UI was having the opposite effect on SO: more, not fewer people reviewing. And the comment you linked to seems to suggest as much too: we've been preoccupied with review [ . . . ] random stuff breaks when reviews don't get done). Don't get me wrong, I hate this new bar with all the useful functionality exiled to the far right or hidden behind menus or whatnot, but I don't think you're right about reviewing. | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 21:20 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | my main concern is that people will not review. That's been the most noticeable effect of the change on SO. See this comment on Monica's answer on the MSE post (the answer is also a good read) - people are doing less with the new UI because it's not as obvious what the various bits of it do | |
