What do you mean by "undoing upvotes and downvotes"? It sounds like allusion to removing the entire voting system in that regard but I don't want to get my hopes up.

Meaning you can undo an accidental downvote

I do NOT like the change! It is hard to navigate, and all of a sudden I am "not allowed to give reputation to that user." Why?

Could you describe what you are trying to find, and whether you are on mobile or desktop?

I will investigate this reputation issue.

EDIT: I've tested on your account and you can seem to give reputation fine. Do you know which user or post you tried to upvote and couldn't?

I love the look of the new site, BUT....

I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate the new line formatting.

We now live in a police state where line-and-a-half spacing is mandatory, and double line spacing for paragraphs is the law. My signature used to look compact and neat, now it takes up half a page and I'm strongly considering just deleting it :o(

(Or, there might be way to edit line spacing that I can't see and I have overreacted...., slightly....., again.)

It's very easy to get there to be just a line break on desktop. Use shift+enter. Additionally if you paste text that does not have an empty line between the two paragraphs the editor will

format
Like this!

That was easy! I mention this in the 17S blog post specifically!

The reason why we had to go this route is because it was the only way to make old posts look correct post conversion. We are still working on removing empty spaces on old posts and sigs and is a thing we are actively working on.

So... chill a little, it is not so bad! Different but perfectly workable. I am happy to edit your Sig and remove the empty lines in the meantime but I discussed in the blog post how to deal with that

I'll get there, but thanks or the offer. I'm sure you have many more important things to do 

I'll just consult the blog once the sedation.... wears... off.

In tablet mode, what happens is the page will tell me I can't give rep, but when I refresh it updates. Annoying but functional.

EDIT I was trying to find my history, and it was in what I thought was an unlikely place (my profile).

EDIT 2: Editting only works in desktop mode. "Save" is just not clickable in tablet mode.

1. That's odd. I cannot replicate that.

2. Well now you know  Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

3. I... also can't replicate that on any of my devices. I did have a time a while back where some server issues made it take a while, but I just tested and it works.

The following issue occurs when I use the forum on my phone: if I have a quote box object in my reply and decide I don't need it, I can not get rid of the quote box. I can change the text/delete the text within the quote, but the box remains. 

If I go to another thread without submitting and come back to it later, the quote box willl still be there. Essentially, to clear the "add reply" area of the quote box, I need to submit it.

Thank you for your concern. Not sure why that would be happening. Please post site issues with the update here, though: 

Please post there what phone/browser you have so I can try and replicate. May be fixable, maybe not.
