Has anyone else’s OP colour changed?

I can’t tell if I’m just going a bit mad, but it looks like a different shade of green and I feel all out of sorts!

We haven't made any changes to the OP colour so this sounds unusual! Would it be possible to send a screenshot of what you're seeing? Does it change if you are logged in or out?

It looks like there is an issue with settings - we are looking in to it!

Thanks for the feedback so far! I just want to take a moment to address some of the points raised and share what we’re working on.

We’ve introduced infinite scroll as a new way to navigate through threads. Instead of loading all posts at once, posts will now load dynamically as you scroll. This approach helps to prevent slow loading times and potential crashes that can occur with large threads.

For users accessing threads through bookmarks, notifications, or any direct links to specific posts, you’ll see a ‘load older posts’ button. This prevents the thread from jumping around when you land on a specific point. However, if you’re visiting a thread for the first time using a general link, such as from the trending or active, all posts will still load as usual.

We’re rolling out an update tomorrow morning that will load some earlier posts above the direct post link you clicked when you land mid-thread. We’re hopeful this will make navigation smoother, and we’d love to hear your thoughts once the change goes live.

Additionally, we’ve already resolved the issues with the OP post colour, voting settings, and 'new' post notifications in 'threads I'm on'. We’re also addressing the issue where the ‘load older posts’ button appears incorrectly, and this should be fixed shortly.

Rest assured, we’re keeping an eye on all other reported issues and prioritising fixes as quickly as possible.

Thank you again for your patience and input—it’s incredibly valuable as we refine the experience. I’ll keep you updated as things progress, and please keep sharing your feedback!

@SilenceInside we have tested this internally and with users before releasing as we do with all our releases. Unfortunately there were some small issues we didn't pick up during the testing mainly due to varying devices and internet speeds etc. Everyone's help in spotting these is hugely appreciated.

I'm sorry you're not a fan but as I've said this is about creating a faster and better performing website. I hope we can improve it so that we can achieve this and make it enjoyable for you to use.

The only app or website I consistently have trouble with is this one. Occasionally BBC News might go down, or Reddit. But this site is going wrong so much more.

Can you please ensure that you have more than one person on your IT team, and that they have more than one GCSE between them? Why do other sites consistently perform better than here? Are you not embarrassed by the constant stream of complaints, and the deluge of complaints on days like this one?

No other website seems to have the problems you do.

I think that's rather harsh tbh.

Since January, we've had 3 total instances of downtime - 1 for 16 minutes, 1 for 15 minutes, and 1 for 30 minutes. Reddit had 51 minutes of downtime yesterday (https://www.reuters.com/technology/reddit-down-thousands-users-downdetector-shows-2024-11-21/). Our servers respond in less than 200ms to 99% of requests. There has been some slowness that's caused by 1k posts per page which is related to the volume of data when showing 1k posts - hence why we're building infinite scroll.

There have also been some freezing / crashing issues which we've narrowed that down to a bug in Safari that is experienced across the internet on sites with ads (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254843801?sortBy=rank). It's a feature called "Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement" that needs to be toggled off in your Safari preferences. The label for that is really misleading - it's actually more private to have it turned off than on.

We A/B test pretty much every major feature release. The release of infinite scroll yesterday was itself was an A/B test.

All that said we are disappointed not to have caught these issues in our internal testing. Certainly won't deny that!
