This is so asinine, won't we lose the ability to hide spoiler in comments due to this?

In case anyone can't tell, this is a bad thing. This means all subreddits will pretty much be forced to look exactly the same. Spoiler tags will break, no random banner rotation, thumbnails will be gone, user flairs broken, no news bar, no sidebar dropdown, no comment faces, and lots of font style/size fixes. A subreddit's css is crafted through many years of hard work and fine tuning. Even how many posts you see on screen at once has likely been fine-tuned. So yea, I'd advise everyone to tell the admins how fucking stupid this is.

Well, I'm not going to jump to conclusions just yet. They are working on a way to make it customizable so that even mobile users can see cool things. If they end up with a programming language like CSS that works for both desktop and mobile, it would probably end up just fine, but every sub will still have to start from scratch, which sucks dick regardless. I hope they don't drop the ball on this one. (Maybe make a button that allows a user to switch from CSS layout to new layout?) Maybe add a 2nd stylesheet that works for mobile and runs on XML or something?

This is some BS and I've had CSS turned off by default with RES for nearly five years now.
Remember when this website was just a fork of Digg?

Maybe this change will prod the mods to actually improve the currently boring black and white designs, and make r/manga have more of a separate identity from reddit's default layout.
