Bit of a long comment here because tons of quotes on stuff I mostly agree with.
The current email style does a good job of pretending the update would be there, surely, like in a spoiler or something, maybe just a bit? ...and then there's absolutely nothing at all (not even a word count which I'm pretty sure used to be included).
Other stuff that I didn't quote and now don't feel like finding:
- the autoscroll to new messages announcement while writing the reply is indeed really annoying
- it was even more annoying when I accidentally pressed 1 after clicking outside the reply box (and not noticing I had it deselected) and got redirected to the home page
- I hope someone saved the old default avatars because the new ones are ugly as ch*rp
- I really, really, really miss the post preview button oh, it's still there, just not in the corner I expected
- having strikethrough under the (barely visible) three-dots button is also annoying
+1. But yes, not sure if the new setup supports this.
Only divided from the post proper from a nearly invisible pixel-wide line. If it's text it's at least in a different font, but if there are spoilers...
If I ever manage to feel sufficiently unannoyed about the new style to start actually reading QQ again, I'll check that out - accidentally setting alerts as read was a big problem to me before!
Please do not set your stories to any of those four colors, which are absurdly low contrast in light mode.
I don't read QQ on phone, but definitely agree about the emails.
very mood
A few days might be optimistic... by the looks of it more like a few months.Honestly, people may be better served just waiting a few days for the most egregious kinks to be worked out, because while we're not supposed to kinkshame, these kinks are absolutely awful.
I didn't find out until after it had already finished.
Pretty much... there's a bunch of annoyances but the top bar isn't really among them (except for how it messes up direct post links).
I hadn't really been looking at the margin issues (I've seen worse...) but yeah it's not very convenient to have the posting time be in a separate block above the post.
98% this, 2% "I guess they had to do this really quickly because the risk of ending up like the xkcd fora was too big but still ugh".
...wait is that actually a thing? Ugh.
Finally! I felt like everyone was just using the dark mode.
Yeah, it used to be tiny and low-contrast but at least you didn't have to scroll all the way up to see how old the most recent post was.
AFAICT you're the first one to point that out. Possibly it works differently on the dark themes.
If alert emails not containing the entire update is unavoidable (I'd be surprised if it is, but just in case), my preference would be something similar to the alerts themselves: just a short text saying "X posted a N word long post [link] in Y thread on [date]" or something to that effect. Nothing extra.

+1, I see absolutely no blur. I'm using Firefox though so maybe it's different in Chrome.
