    This weirdly reminds me of something... oh yeah.

    The snapping second toolbar and content jumping on the home page is still present. A lot of websites do this, but since you seem responsive to feedback, I'm hoping you will reconsider this. Here's a screen capture demonstrating the problem ... try to read the first headline in the Latest News section:

    Yes, we will fix this. I think it may have actually been fixed in an internal build that we haven't pushed up yet -- The fix is just caught up in a larger internal discussion about what we want to use that space for, and how we may have to change its behavior on different sections of the site. We do read this thread and are listening :)

    Yeah, that should be a simple offset adjustment in the script...
    Not quite that simple, but yes the fix involves compensating for the loss of the height of that mid page nav inside the document flow when it snaps 👍

    EDIT: @jSnively  — figured it out, kinda — it's only on a certain media query — the links break only on 992px to 1199px wide. Narrower or wider, the page works fine. I'll leave the "why" to you since I'm not getting paid to do this. :)

    I will look into it. Thanks 👍

    I do not like spending time here, anymore. I normally come here multiple times a day to check on updates. But now each time feels like I’m getting smacked in the face.
    I have to agree here.

    I'm one of those who likes to run their workspaces with all the encrusting chrome in dark mode but the content itself in light mode. Things pop. Life easier.

    Sadly I find Appleinsider oppressively dark now. It inhibits my checking back. It's funereally uninviting. Yes, it's psychological thing, but nonetheless such small things are at the heart of good design. 

    How hard might it be to just have a toggle in the profile that overrides the system setting?

    This is something that we're actively working on. Wanted to get it in before launch, but just ran out of time. I am still reading this thread and running things up the chain, so keep the feedback coming. Kasper still has the final word on stuff, so don't expect to get everything you ask for, but where it makes sense and we can move quickly we will make changes. There's a lot we have planned still and we are resource constrained.

    Edit:
    For those who are genuinely curious, from a metrics standpoint the redesign has been fairly successful for us. We're only a couple weeks in though. My hope is that you will all appreciate the spotlight and featured stories sections more once WWDC rolls around and all that content that normally just falls off is much more prominent and easily discoverable. I know some of you don't like the more modern design aesthetic, but we have to be able to move forward and stay relevant.

    i got the green light to remove the scrolling behavior. This will happen sometime today. 

    EDIT:
    It is gone.
