Another load of pointless changes that does nothing to improve the user experience. There have been just too many over the last few months. GAG is slowly but surely becoming less pleasant. Not because of GAGers, but because of the site itself.
The serif font for some of the text is now awful, as well! Is GAG trying to drive us all away? Come on, Admin! Give us back a decent site that's a pleasure to use!
the only positive thing about this is the more xper points. The bad things are the removal of the down vote button you can now only agree with peoples opinion, you can;t disagree if you know what i mean, the down vote let you do this. Plus the buttons don't work very well and sometimes not at all. Other then that no real opinion on the rest of the features.
Stop trying to become some kind of viral social media like Facebook, because you're not. Get rid of the "like" shit and bring back upvotes. And definitely bring back downvotes, like wtf? We're not allowed to disagree with people anymore?
in my opinion this is an experiment to get rid of negative anonymous trolling. For one to show their disagreeance one has to use words, AND can't go anonymous (comments aren't allowed to go anonym ).
So u can disagree. U just have to use words and reveal yourself.
Now all you need to do is make messaging formats with unlimited characters, and allow users to either edit their Takes after posting or be able to repost it altogether if they want to start over.
@BellePepper yeah a few people did I saw I went and messaged the admins though and they thought it was a good idea. They have this feature of Google+ as well.
I am very recent to GirlsAskGuys andd I was wondering... what exactly do you do with xper points? It's a great site to be on with many opinions that are interesting to read, but seriously... What are xpers and what do you do with them?

This is literally impossible to read.
I hope to get more points now :P
Same here, I'm going to cash in on XPer because my posts gets lots of likes. 💰💰💰

We will see how this experiment goes!
@Prof_Don Hmm, didn't think of it like that. I understand now
Do users get mentioned when the anonymous OP hit "Reply to this comment" button to reply to their comments?
I'm so happy I can stop being notified when the QA upvotes my opinion. That was so a bit much.
Now GaG is shittier than ever.
Agree..
yup. +1!
Agreed this new layout sucks.
Pressing the hearts to like is hard, I often missclick.. :/ never happened before

I actually love the fact that downvotes were taken out. Now people will actually have to explain why they don't like a post.
Purely disliking a post without any reason would be the equivalent of throwing an insult.
I dislike this update. But oh, wait, I can't click a button to tell you that!
I am still a little confused hahah! Its okay I'll get the hang of it!
I like these changes alright. Guess the FB users will be happier lol. Time to use the heart shaped button here too :D
And all of that came with a better ergonomy on the mobile website. I don't have to zoom anymore to read the text.
WHERE IS THE DOWN VOTE OR DISLIKE BUTTON, BE LIKE YOUTUBE AND HAVE A DISLIKE! We need it for troll comments!

I came up with the mute feature. 😛
I've heard several people talk about it before this.
@BellePepper yeah a few people did I saw I went and messaged the admins though and they thought it was a good idea. They have this feature of Google+ as well.
mute is nothing new... i've had that on my own site since 2003.
@orphan That's cool that you have your own site.
Who took away the downvote feature? Snitchhh point em out so we can sacrifice them lmao
@mr90skid Lol I dunno man
GAG took my follows, my notifications, dislikes, and one of my questions away. lol I'm gonna interrogate you anyways >:O :P
wow I hate you mute feature is a terrible idea
@blondfrog how
@mr90skid Please don't
Want a medal?
@T-shirtsandkneehighs no
@T-shirtsandkneehighs I still have my medal and trophy, from my "health" section suggestion becoming reality back in 2012! 🏆
This site has changed so much from wheni first started!
I dont get notifications for mentions anymore. Is this according to plan or?
and I haven't pressed the "mute" button
We're aware of the bug about mentions and are working to fix it :)
