Probably just trying to make it work right? I like it.

It’s been switching back and forth every day or two for me. I guess they must be testing it for bugs or something.

Same here. I was missing it. I like the arrow for easy navigation back to the top of the page.

Same for me. It was back to the old UI this morning.

I dig what your bar says. And this may be one of the first times with a Kinja update where I haven’t been indifferent, but actually liked it.

Did you edit that screenshot? I was really looking forward to seeing them on the FP.

One of the kinja devs replied to one of my comments and said that it’s to see if it performs better or someting to that effect.

It’s an evil scheme to make it harder for me to admire my awesome McCroskey-sniffing-glue avatar.

It comes and it goes. Sort like the headlights of an MGB.

If you don’t like it, the old one will be back later today, or tomorrow.

My format has been bouncing between them for weeks.

Nope! I have the Google Chrome version of the XKCD Substitutions extension. It lets you do a custom edit of terms! :D

It’s been gone for me for a few days though. Weird.

Me too! I like the easy blog switching up at top. Also, if you highlight the related blogs, it’ll show you the latest headlines.

This bar appeared a month ago then went away. I am not happy.

I have to touch twice on mobile to check notifications. Shenanigans.

Caaaan’t decide if I love the new names because “lorry yeah!” and the truth of lanesplitter or hate them because you lose all the naughty word jokes.

Weird fact. I was in sydney last week and this theme was at the top the whole week. Maybe they were rolling it out to a small amount of users first?

I'm not a fan of the mobile notifications though. It takes two taps now! That's like 100% more things to do!!!

If you look closely, Ferrari is noted as “weber grill” lol. XKCD is the best/worst thing to happen to Google Chrome :D

I find it more user friendly, but I miss the super minimalist days of old :/

A variation of the drop down on the up scroll is back, so there’s that.
