there was also the redesign making custom CSS less visible; I completely forget how the sub was styled because I mostly saw it on the redesign later on
yeah, the spacing on so many websites now is just trash. but forcing old style was kinda annoying in and of itself and lots of stuff became redesign only features. once the modtools and RES started working on the redesign I started using it. The little bits of javascript they used weren't super intrusive

What bothered me was that on the old design, you can at least read whole threads most of the time without having any javascript enabled at all (which is great for privacy). Not so on the new design - even most of the post titles themselves won't load on a sub page, and on a thread you'll only basically see the 2 or 3 top comments.

I've never used that cursed redesign, personally; find it atrocious (less items and more space on each page, much more javascript dependency, etc.).

understandable. I use it cause the normal style is an eyesore. can't remember what the chapo style used to look like.
