Over the last week or so we've made a few updates to the site. We softened the daymode background color to be a bit easier on the eyes, thanks for the suggestion /u/pitterpatterwater

We also moved the "submit a new link" and "create a sub" buttons to be above the chat, rather than below it. That was another good user suggestion. And I also fixed an issue with the "create a sub" button being in an odd position when viewing a sub.

I also removed the "account activity" button which was below the chat, since that page was essentially non-functional. I also got rid of the dust-filled "trophy case" in the user profiles.

Lastly we patched up an issue with the chat that was causing it occasionally to freeze when it hit a certain number of users and would require a manual reset. We found a good workaround to automate this process so the chat shouldn't randomly freeze anymore.

/u/d3rr and I also resolved a tricky bug where the "show context" button in the messages page randomly wouldn't load the .json data. This ended up being a bug in the original open source reddit code. d3rr also created a place to discuss the reddit open source in case any new sites wanted to follow a similar path as saidit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/8h727f/announcing_rredditopensource/

Overall, a bit cleaner and easier on the eyes, fuller functionality, and hopefully a little less sporadic downtime with the chat too.

Coming soon: The 'controversial' tab will be renamed the 'funny' tab to better represent the content there.
