The button moved in this update and now the UX feels wrong

---

The button moved in this update and now everything feels off — anyone else feel this??

Old layout had the reply button in the bottom-right. That position was already in muscle memory for me. New layout moved it to the left-centre. Now every time I go to reply I spend a beat searching for it. Multiply that by twenty interactions a day and it's a persistent friction point.

Functionally fine. But UX changes to core interaction points need strong justification, especially when users have already established habits. Design note: if the button had to move, a transition period or tooltip would've helped. Anyone else adapting to this or is it just me?

UX friction analysis that identifies specific click-count increases is exactly the kind of feedback developers can act on. The specificity makes it actionable.

The notification badge clearing behavior is a known pattern problem in forums. The fix requires tying badge state to read state at the thread level, not just the post level. Technically straightforward.
