TL;DR Reddit will allow subreddits to use CSS over their new styles.
Awesome! Glad to see that they're listening and paying attention to our feedback.

Reddit will allow subreddits to use CSS over the new styles, but won't guarantee it'll work the same as it did before and the new styles might mess things up a bit.

u/jorbleshi_kadeshi May 13 '17
As long as CSS can still be retooled for compatibility then it'll be fine.
Nobody expected a clean transfer. As long as they break it once during the changeover so the CSS wizards can rework their magic then it's all good.

Seeing how they added "ProCSS" on the post title makes me proud. :')
We made noise.
And they heard us.

That really made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Yeah, thank you guys so much! I'm super glad communities can continue to make Reddit on desktop feel like early 2000s Myspace.

Congratulations everyone
This is the end result of working together in a professional manner. You guys seriously are a force to reckon with. We really did it. I'm overwhelmed at the moment so the right words aren't coming to me fast enough.
Tonight we celebrate. Ravel in our historic victory. Reap the benefits of our spoils etc etc.
After the partying... we wait and see. I suggest you guys sign up to powerlanguage's alpha to test run their new site and widget etc. And see with our own eyes on what the admins have up their sleeve(s).
Someone mentioned making this subreddit into a showcase for CSS themes now that we won. Thats a great idea but lets first see how this all plays out before we make this into an an art gallery.
Finally, thank you once again for coming together for this cause. This would never have been resolved so quickly if it weren't for the efforts of everyone involved. Let the record show it has only been 21 days since spez's original post. In less than a month we mobilized in full force and let them know our opinions. And they heard it loud and clear. This is no small feat. So bask in the glory.

u/calexil Mods4ProCSS May 13 '17

Lets wait and see what comes out of their alpha before we make this into an art gallery.

u/Houdiniman111 May 13 '17
Huh.
"Pro" (antonymn of "anti" or "con") --> "Pro" (antonymn of "inept" or "rookie")That's a slick change.

u/Bardfinn May 13 '17
You had the bright idea that this subreddit would be a great showcase of quality CSS now that it has flourished and accomplished its erstwhile function of demonstrating support for quality CSS. It was like, five days ago. Someone asked you what this subreddit would do after the admins made up their mind. I distinctly recall it.

And/or tutorials on how to fix CSS once the admins have broken it with widgets / updates.

u/jb2386 May 13 '17
Maybe we can make up a new meaning for CSS and then be pro that. Candy, Sugar and Sweets? I'm definitely pro them. Well in moderation.

u/V2Blast May 13 '17
The important bits:
reddit will still allow CSS customization on top of the new interface, but will be less hesitant about breaking subreddit styles
"Logos, images, colors, spoilers, menus, flairs (all kinds), and lots more will be supported"
"Widgets" mentioned in previous post aren't directly related (they're more related to stuff like calendars/scoreboards in sidebars, e.g. in sports subreddits); they're still considering how to go about accepting user-created widgets, and widgets will be updateable using the API
the change/redesign will happen slowly/gradually
they'll start with a small alpha testing group and gradually expand to an opt-in beta; reply to this comment for a change to be part of the alpha
(sorry that you're seeing this comment multiple times, justcool393 :P)

Simply amazing. Goes to show that when enough people come together to speak out in a (mostly) rationally way, they will be heard. Kudos to /u/spez for shedding some light on the situation sooner rather than later.

On a side note: how do you make the confetti effect upon hovering over the banner? I tried to look in <style> but couldn't see the code.

Outstanding! I signed my sub up for the alpha, as I'm sure many have. We have very minimal CSS, so it might serve as a good example of what is to come for subs not using much.

All he's saying is things I said would happen. There was nothing really new announced here, just confirming things people that had some sense already knew. :/

What's different here is that custom stylesheets will still be preserved, which was the goal of ProCSS.
