in response to questions i had i was told by a helper to post these questions here on this post.
1. what happend to all the text editor settings when making or replying to a post?
a. I mostly notice this on reply posts but i have seen this several times whe making a post on a reddit. actually as i paste this post in to reddit i only have a text size button, there are ono other editor options.
b. i have noticed that markdown mode does not alwas respect tab spacing when pasting a pre typed response.
c. what happened to the feature where highlighted text will auto quote when replying to someones post?
d. why do markdown comments get formatted as code? i liked v2 where i can past the raw txt of aht i want then switch back to the editor to format the document, add links, text format etc.
2. why do some reddits have this awful color haze on them? this makes it near impossible to read the contents of many reddits.
3. Please bring back better contrast between elements and text. (or just re enable the v2 ui, you still have v1.)
a. why is v1 still around? what tool is missing that v2 did not have?
b. why is shitui light mode so painfull to look at? i get it white backgrounds are going to be bright but this ui looks like it was designed to hurt the users eyes more so than the average light mode.
c. why is the contrast so poor on the v3 ui, you have ultra dark blue on a ultra dark grey background with greyish text with varying hues of blue/black for the background and elements. this is difficult to see/navigate on a desktop monitor let alone a tablet screen in a bright room.
4. why are the new redit text and up/downvote buttons so much smaller? this really makes reddit difficult to navigate on a tablet touch screen.
5. what is with this internal server error popup? i never saw this on the v2 ui. if the page loads you can up/downvote, reply, scroll with no issues.
6. i have noticed that the v3 ui is very laggy, best description is like working inside a VM. there is a small but very noticable delay when navigating on v3 that was not present on v2.
7. you want us to use the app and pay for reddit premium, i have tried both. the reddit app is a mess worse so than the last time i tried to use it. it is ok for scrolling but good luck making a post longer than a short sentance let alone formating it well. and if i pay for your service why do i get adds? isnt the point of paying for a service so i can avoid adds that are on the free version?
8. When can we have the option to hide the atrocious side bars or change the UX scale? on a computer the curent ux comes to a 10pt font which is very dificult to read dependng on the haze that randomly appears on some reddits.
9. consistent nsfw hiding or unhiding? multiple times i have seen nsfw content unblured on one post then later on there is a nsfw marked post that is blurred. this happens regardless of how the OP formatted the post or how your nsfw settings are set. unfortunately this error is not consistent so i do not have a way to replicate it consistently. i never had this issue with V2.
10. why are most/all posts i am making now being posted with a time of "in x minutes"? i have confirmed i am not on a vpn and this has occured on several differnt isp's with severa differnt browser/device combinations.
Bounus: is there any official reason v2 went away other than 'developer workload'? you still have v1 kicking around but you are not getting rid of it? what tools are missing from GoodUi and shitui that v1 has?

Hi! Thank you for this. Let's take it from the top!
1a. Do you have a screenshot of what you're seeing? If you just have the capital T, you can click on that for more options.
1b. I'm not sure what you mean by "tab spacing"?
1c. Was that on new.reddit? I see that it's still working on old Reddit.
1d. I don't know why it works like that, but I can ask.
2a. Do you have a link to one of those I could check out?
3.There will be some changes in regard to how things appear. This is an accessibility issue that will be worked on.
3a. Do you mean old.reddit? It's just still there! It's where Reddit started out!
3b/c. These go back to the accessibility that will be getting worked on.
4.You can increase the size of your display in your browser.
5.Do you have a screen recording or a screenshot? I am unfamiliar with this.
6.I'll pass that along.
7.Reddit Premium eliminates ads. If you're still getting ads when you have Premium, please use this form[1] and we'll look into the issue. Please note that subreddit recommendations are not ads. You can turn off those recommendations in your Settings[2].

8.I will pass along that you'd like the ability to collapse sidebars.
9.Is the unblurred NSFW content that you're seeing tagged as NSFW?
10.If you're doing a lot of posting within a short period of time, you may be timed out for a bit. This is generally a spam prevention method.
