You mean on the side? It's not amazing but I'm kinda indifferent to it, as it bothers me less than the unresponsiveness of the search button. If you click Search too early while the page is loading, it switches to the search page instead of showing the popup. When this happens it doesn't show suggestions as you type, so you have to load a third page to perform your search. Very clumsy, and I use the search feature all the time so I've really felt it.

Hopefully they get that fixed.

I'm not a fan of it on the side either

Yeah i don't like stuff being on the left side. Right side would be better IMO, but i prefer to keep functions at top. Also, changing "discuss" etc buttons to icons makes it hard to figure which is which.

Sorry. Just wanted to vent a bit.

No need to apologize! I feel ya.

Has anyone noticed the Link button doesn't work in article discussions? Just does nothing when I click it. It works here, but its absence in article discussions really hurts because I need to link to other pages or external links to help people.

Maybe file that as a bug report with @Moviesign , though maybe they already know.

This is a known bug and hopefully will be fixed soon.
