reddit, What's up with the "more" tab? You have plenty of room across the top to put the two drop down links up there.

Ahh!!!...that's where the 'Saved' articles are hidden...jeeze..

Does "recommended" do anything for anybody? It doesn't work for me (empty page, "there doesn't seem to be anything here"). If it doesn't work, or isn't useful even if it does work, then why not just change more to 'saved', which is useful?

Is there more stuff in that pulldown if you're an admin or something?

louis_xiv42 · 2 years

good point. do people have 7" monitors or something?

jillg · 2 years

Can you customize what links you want up there, if not, why?

Purp · 2 years

Not to mention no one ever clicks "Controversial" or even knows what it does, whereas I use "Saved" on a daily basis

my brother pointed out the same thing to me the other day. I had never thought about it before. Obfuscation to save 1 link's worth of space. goofy

They're smooshed together up there because Recommended is the red-headed stepchild of site features.

They are doing this to save one characters width in space. The recommended button should be removed as it has not done anything for more than half a year, so the only thing that works in the "more" button is "saved"

Yes. Some people do have netbooks. I have an Asus Eee PC 901 with a 9" screen running 1024x600 resolution. I run Ubuntu Linux Netbook Remix on it, so my OS is designed for a small screen. Even with font adjustments and add-ons to Firefox that maximize screen real estate, there is no more room in that bar.

Hey, that's where the new "recently viewed" feature should be.

Opera's Fit to width feature is cool http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2171/operau.jpg

This topic comes up all the time, have the admins ever responded?

How about just making it a preference?

I know. I know. It's a crazy idea.

ruinmaker · 2 years

Another thought. I think the list of links on that bar is dynamic. I see just a little bit of text to the right of "MORE". When I hover over that I see it's actually a link for the music subreddit. My guess is that bar just displays as much as you give it room for.

Not always. Some reddits have longer than usual names and/or wide logos. http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8697/watmm.png

That's at 1024 which w3schools claims has a 36% marketshare. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp

Admittedly redditall.com statistics say about 10% 1024px and below. 1280px width is the most common overall.

It appears the empty space below is reserved for the head of the reddit alien.

Rosco7 · 2 years

They would like for you to forget about the "Recommended" feature, since it's never worked very well, but they don't want to outright remove it because that will inevitably make someone mad. Likewise, they'd rather not have you looking through your saved pages that much either, since before long you'll have enough of them that you'll want to be able to search through them, and that's never worked well either. So both of those features are hidden under "More", where they hope you'll just forget about them.

So you can search through the thousands of subreddits?

FarmerMo · 2 years

Have you actually seen how many subreddits there are?

Chyndonax · 2 years

Some of us don't run our browsers full screen.

ruinmaker · 2 years

Wouldn't a drop down link for the "More" be unusable? There are hundreds (? well, lots anyway) of subreddits. Far too many for a drop down link.

sirin3 · 2 years

With Firefox the More link is even a pixel to far left, you can open a "random" reddit when clicking at the right most position.

(I bet they are using CSS not tables,...)
