I do like the current design, I certainly don't think it looks old. I do agree with everyone saying it needs to be more dense, or the option to at least. My old.reddit front page has 18 posts on vs 9 here.

Agreed. I'd prefer far more density.

Good to be here. The main content column is really rather narrow, it's sadly more like new reddit than the old I prefer. Perhaps I'm able to change it? Other than that this all looks quite nice.

edit: (e.g front page of old.reddit I see 20 posts while on here it's only 8)
