@Svelon I agree that the new design is not very flexible, but you missed the point: The point was to make the footer more usable than it currently is.

Footer is not always a place for “useless” links, it can hold much info, presented in a way that makes sense.

I like the old better.
Useless (but necessary) links should use the less space possible and not attract the eye. + the old way can have variable number of links without loosing its “design”.

p.s. This is just a personal opinion (as always)

It is obviously far better than the official

@Antonis I did left out the Groups link, maybe subjectively so because I don’t belong to any groups (none that I check, anyway). There is a groups module on the top of the page, plus it’s always available from the menu.

@stelios Not all of them exist in the header. Plus, you dont wanna go all the way up to the top of the page just to find your “Organize” link, believe me.

@stelabouras Maybe, but I don’t really dig (har har) Digg’s all-caps.

To be honest I never paid attention to that footer and never ever used it.
Maybe because of it’s design.Isn’t it useless anyway? These buttons also exist on the header…

It’s an interesting take. I agree that it looks easier to use and cleaner than the original version. Was it on purpose that you left out the In Your Groups link and if so why?
