New UI is absolute garbage for moderation.

There are no notifications if there's new items in modmail. There used to be a little bubble that would show up to prompt you to check. Now I have to remember to check our modmail.
The screen splits into half if you try to look at the queue and open a post for review at the same time.
If I attempt to scroll through one of my sub's removal reasons to read it or modify part of it, it doesn't work. I have to click inside the removal reason box, then use my arrow keys to navigate.
If I attempt to click on a post in the queue to review it, it automatically scrolls down to our pinned automod message. It doesn't show me the post text body. This is after it splits my screen in two, but only gives me one scroll bar to use.
I can't see if other moderators are actively in the mod queue.
I hate how our subreddit looks now. Our pinned posts blend in and don't stand out like they used to.
Removed comments still look like they are active in a thread. There's a removal reason off to the side of it. They used to be highlighted in a color which denoted they were removed, which was much easier to read. Right now, they blend in with every other comment within the thread.

My personal issues:

It is too white. Then some gray is thrown in. It would give "sad beige" vibes if it wasn't so bright and hurt my eyes
The open inbox bubble blocks the "message" link.
Would have been nice if you announced this UI change in more places than just in Mod News. I never go to that sub.
This UI is borderline unusable for me, because of how frustrating it is. It is not frustrating to me because it is new and I need to get used to it. It is frustrating because it is buggy, ugly, and was completely unnecessary because new reddit worked just fine. That layout and interface was much more user friendly and does not have half the issues this UI has.
I don't like how time is marked. For example, this post says "7m", which means I posted it 7 minutes ago. It's confusing because 7m could also be read as "7 months", abbreviated.

Hi! Thank you so much for all of this! This is really great!

I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble with the moderation side of things. I've shared all of that with the team and I'm hoping to hear back so that I can give you at least a bit of an update.

For the other issues:

It is too white. Then some gray is thrown in. It would give "sad beige" vibes if it wasn't so bright and hurt my eyes

Is using dark mode an option for you?

The open inbox bubble blocks the "message" link.

That doesn't sound like it should be happening. Could you get a screenshot of that? I'm having a hard time reproducing and I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right thing.

I'll let them know!

Understood! I'll share this with the team that's in charge of this project!

For months, it should say "mo" instead of "m", but if you are seeing something different and have a link, I can get that to the team in charge of this feature.

I'm back again! Many follow ups, so here we go!

There are no notifications if there's new items in modmail. There used to be a little bubble that would show up to prompt you to check. Now I have to remember to check our modmail.

They are going to look at adding this back in and are filing a ticket as of right now.

If I attempt to scroll through one of my sub's removal reasons to read it or modify part of it, it doesn't work. I have to click inside the removal reason box, then use my arrow keys to navigate.

This one is currently being worked on!

If I attempt to click on a post in the queue to review it, it automatically scrolls down to our pinned automod message. It doesn't show me the post text body. This is after it splits my screen in two, but only gives me one scroll bar to use.

This should not be happening and they're trying to reproduce this right now. I might be back to ask for additional info on this one.

I can't see if other moderators are actively in the mod queue.

I am told that you can view this information by clicking on the 'graph/chart' icon in the top right corner of your queue.

I hope this helps!

I'm back! The team has a question regarding

I can’t see if other moderators are actively in the mod queue.

You can/should if you’re only viewing one subreddit. Do you mod more than one?
