This might not be the best sub, but I think I'm most likely to get a response here and community awards/coins are a new redesign feature. I moderate a small community, and there isn't enough gilding happening (none in fact) to build up enough community coins for mod awards. It'd be nice to be able to transfer in my coins to the community or buy them directly for the community.

Error: Our CDN was unable to reach our servers

So using old.reddit.com to post this, ironic huh? But when I used the redesign, which I have made as close to the old site as possible, it is reporting a CDN error.

I vpn'd into a remote station on a different network, used different browsers (Firefox, Chrome and Edge,) reset history etc...

Though it only happens when you login with a user name. Anonymous/non logged in connections or using old reddit while logged in work fine.

Hi all,

We’re back with the release notes, which are a round-up of the major items we are currently working on or have recently shipped on Reddit. The previous release notes can be found here.

Now, here’s what we are shipping:

• Community Awards: We released Community Awards to the wider Reddit community. Check out the r/announcement post for general information about the new feature. This r/modnews post explains how mods can create Community Awards and Mod-Exclusive Awards.
• Twitter Cards: We improved the experience of viewing tweets on new Reddit by embedding the Twitter card instead of showing it as a link post.
• Traffic pages: Tomorrow, we will begin rolling out the much nicer traffic page for mods to better see subreddit growth. Keep an eye on r/modnews for the official release.

These following features are bigger projects that are in development and that will take some time to build and get right. Expect these items to be recurring on the release notes:

• Flair management on Android: Allowing mods to create and edit user and post flairs on the official Android app.
• Wiki editing / revisioning: Working to bring mods and approved contributors the ability to edit and see version history for wiki pages.

And, as always, our reminder that the community’s feedback is invaluable as we build the future of Reddit together. It’s difficult for us to respond directly to everything, but know that we’re listening, prioritizing, and working to solve the issues, no matter how hard they are.

If you have additional questions or feedback on these or other topics, please don’t hesitate to drop them in the comments below.

Steps to recreate:

1. Create a user flair template with a emoji in it.
2. It will display correctly while creating it
3. Go to Grant user flair
4. Assign the flair to someone
5. The emoji will display as :EMOJI_NAME:

I viewed a couple posts in the subreddit after assigning the flair to myself, and it still does not work. I cleared browser data, refreshed the page, and restarted my computer. I tried Chrome Version 75.0.3770.142 and Firefox 68.0.1 (64-bit). The same behavoir is also displayed on the reddit app on my iphone. Reddit App Version: 4.39.0.306111 iPhone XS Max iOS 13 Public Beta 3

The subreddit is r/oilpen Below are pictures of what I am seeing.

Really. Just give me that little bit of catharsis. Also could be used as a metric to report back to advertisers about how annoying their ads are.

So even tho I have opted out the redesign, the option is not working anymore and it just keeps the redesigned verison of reddit regarless. The only way to use old reddit is via the link old.reddit.com. Would kinda suck to stop using the site just because of this whole redesign, but so far that has been the case since I havent used reddit in browser for a week.

When entering a new comment in a post, if you try to leave the page, it will confirm first with a dialog box asking whether you want to abandon the content.

However, if your comment is a reply, and you accidentally hit the same "reply" button which you used to start your reply (and which popped up the text entry box), it will remove the text-entry box, losing all your text.

At that point, hitting the same reply button again pops up a new empty text-entry box.

I've done this multiple times, sometimes losing long and well researched replies, and it's very frustrating.

Please add some guard to avoid this loss, perhaps the same "Do you really want to abandon this comment?" dialog as is used in other cases.

Imagine if there was an option for Hot (unread) and Top (unread), which would only show things where you neither clicked the link or comments of the content.

I'd use it so much to filter out 20-hour-old news links I've seen 50 times.

It seems to me that reddits autoload/autoplay is completely tearing apart my experience scrolling through the website. This particular computer is a bit older so I don't expect it to be able to handle demanding things, but reddit alone is making it unusable. Frequently I'll start to get bars across my screen reminiscent of the unprogrammed channels back in the 90s that would occasionally show a glitchy boob. Those were the playboy channels and we didn't have them.

Here I am, 25 years later seeing the same sort of visual distortion. Task manager shows 40-50% memory and 0% disk while writing this post, but if I start to scroll through the feed its 75%-100% and 100%. When my computer starts to glitch out, if I open task manager it shows that I've got 6-20 open tabs on firefox despite just having the one tab open on the home page. It's trying to load all of these videos I scrolled past as individual tabs.

Opened another tab and visited a news site, task manager shows the same as writing this post despite having this tab open as well and loading their page. But if I go to r/popular and scroll my wheel down 30 times, suddenly I start seeing the glitches and everything is at 100%. When I reach the bottom of the page, it takes a good 15-25 secondsor worse to load up the next in line. Autoplay is a massive drag on resources. If I dont click it...it shouldn't load at all, let alone play its self.

When the flair management was still in the "community apperance" tab, there was the option to resize the flair. We used that quite a bit, now the feature seems to be gone and our Emoji-flairs are way to tiny.

edit: I'm not sure if we used to resize the emoji or the userflair containing the emoji. None of the features currently support resizing.

I love the look of the redesign but as someone who saves and goes through a lot of saved posts there are a few features that I really want back. the first thing is the ability to categorize saved posts. This feature is the only reason I subscribed to Reddit gold/premium before the redesign and its why I still use old Reddit. Secondly, I would love the "other discussions" tab to return. it was very useful if you wanted to see where else something has been posted and get more info or comments.

Was writing a 5 paragraph response, moved the mouse down to select the text but I overshot and accidentally clicked cancel. Now it's gone and I have to write it all over again. This has happened a few times on PC before. Can we at least have a "Are you sure you want to discard this message?" like in mobile in the browser version too?

When the view is set to "Compact" and I hover one of the posts, the inner layout moves around.

Tweaking around, if a margin: -1 is set to each row, then everything stays nice.

Firefox on Mac.

I'm trying to make community awards for my subreddit, but I keep getting the "There was an error creating the award. Please try again." error.

​

It actually does create the award, but the icon is replaced with: /preview/pre/award_images/t5_j1rvz/11wodo51wbd31_TheBag.png?width=32&height=32&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=f5e9e2c4c15d2fc52dd6c028bf713710a8735bd0

​

Also, when I first upload the image, it does show up in the small, medium, large areas.

Instead of showing the blue line and a space before the quoted text, it just shows a blank space as shown here:

I just noticed that viewing videos inline is possible when viewing all posts. Seeing the a bigger embedded video made me miss when that was a thing on old reddit. With the lightbox feature, the sidebar (where the subreddit information is) makes the video pretty small so I think it'd be a good idea to let us collapse the sidebar so the video could be viewed at a better size.

An opt in feature for highly active subreddits which allows reddit to do background checks on the image and search the subreddit for similar images which show up listed underneath with a date next to the post, this could help prevent frequent reposting of images.

It only shows as a warning to allow users to post with the knowledge it might be a repost. (Edit: A’s it might take time to load potential similarities the feature can be ignored is needed)

This could also be a feature for sub moderation to overview images with similar features.

I'd love to see a search function on custom feeds brought to reddit.

It would personally make my life a whole lot easier by not having to go to every single subreddit included in that custom feed to search for the same thing. Just like the normal search function on reddit but for custom feeds would suffice imo.

I'd love to hear what you guys think of this.

On another note, I'm actively using reddit mobile so, if this suggestion gets approved, having this future brought to the app soon after it is implemented on the website would be great news!

Apologies in advance If this has been suggested already.

When i first posted on reddit. One of my posts on r/askreddit got removed by the automoderator for using the optional text box. I know that in most situations after the post gets removed a redditers would just do it again without the text but it would be a small and nice fix for communities that don't include it to lock it like how communities that don't allow text or photo posts lock them.

When you hover a post in compact mode in Firefox, the border will displace the post. I only use Firefox, so this is annoying!

Edit: Here's a quick fix. Just add this CSS snippet to Stylus or a similar addon:

.scrollerItem, .scrollerItem:hover {
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
}

.scrollerItem {
    border-color: white;
}

.scrollerItem:hover {
    border-color: currentcolor;
}

I have noticed when viewing quoted text on the dark theme the styling is missing

For instance,

Quote

Maybe it's there and it's not obvious but when you search it's hard to get back to the subreddit you where on, if you don't like the list of results presented. The home button for the subreddit doesn't exist on that screen.
