Er... whoever edited the site - how in the world do I go to my watchlist from the front page?!?!

Pull down menu on the side bar labeled tools.

Would anybody tell me why this was done ? I don't really see why it was neccesary to move the buttons for the watchlist and to dos to the tools bar. They were just fine were they were earlier.

Call me an idiot, but that screencap is obviously meant to be read as "Make a third row of buttons please" and not "Move the watchlist and that other stuff to a place they can't be seen."

^ This!

Ugh, can this please be put back? I don't mean to be rude, but I can't see the practical benefit in this change.

Add me as another who liked being able to get to his watchlist and the other buttons from the front page. Made things much simpler to add to watchlists, too.

(glances herself) Ugh, seconding the 'put it back'! I have the homepage bookmarked BECAUSE that toolbar with the watchlist button on it was there.

And Edit the Second: And it's stuffed in the tools menu on the whole site now? Yeah, that's a completely unhelpful edit; I only ever click over there if I have to change a page type.

Yeah I liked things the way they were before this change.

The change definitely causes a reduction in usability, I want the old site back, I use those buttons all the time.

Wait, this is permanent and on purpose? Damn. I thought this was a wierd mistake like when site search was down and then it came back powered by Bing before being changed back to Google.

I agree. I miss the old buttons.

Cleaner? Sure. Less Efficient? Hellz yes.

I would not mind the change if a Watchlist button was added to the top navigation bar

Adding to the calls to put the buttons back. I never saw anything cluttered about it to begin with - if anything, the buttons separated the title from the article and made it look neater. Also, this is ridiculously less efficient.

#21: Nov 23rd 2010 at 6:48:49 PM

Yeah, one that stands out bigger than the rest. The Watchlist button is my "Get Started" button every time I come to this site. It should stand out apart from the rest so I don't have to spend a few seconds searching for it among all the others.

#22: Nov 23rd 2010 at 7:08:29 PM

woah, check that out. It's back up with the rest of them... grouped right smack dab in the middle of all those other similar looking buttons.

Oh well, can't please everyone, right? Thank you for putting them back on the main page in clear sight.

Yes, I must admit that while I think this is actually sort of worse (it clutters up the top of every page now), at least it's still, you know, visible.

Yeah, it's nice that they're back. It would be nicer if they actually WORKED; I can't add anything to my watchlist now.

[up]I believe they do work, it's just that they no longer provide any feedback.
