Didn't SO used to have a title graphic? Did that go away with the new nav or has that been gone for a while?
For some reason I just now got the feeling that something's missing on the page that I can't put my finger on. It's weird.

Aside from the nav bar has it always been like that?
And why am I just bothered by this now after having used this site for almost 6 years.
 
user202362
because the sticky header bar brought attention to the layout of the site, especially the top part
 
Jason C
Jason C
Well it's irrelevant that it's sticky since I'm scrolled all the way up.
But really? There was no page header before?

@rene well, on SO there are extra tabs (Jobs and Documentation) which don't exist on any other site. I think that's the main reason for the design change.
I mean, there isn't enough room for all the tabs in the ordinary design. It worked, but didn't look well.

Do we need to cherry-pick for rude/abussive flags in this comment thread or could we simply nuke everything in one go? There doesn't seem to be any value, to be honest.

With 3 autoflags from charcoal and 2-3 people in the charcoal room, the room alone often nukes spam in under 20s
Specifically going from 1 -> 3 auto flags seems to have decreased time to deletion for autoflag eligible spam by 70%
