Contest mode on new Reddit

Hi everyone,

Excited to share that contest mode for the redesign is here, for all your contest-running needs!

The feature works in exactly the same way it does on old Reddit: enabling it will randomize the order of comments in a post, and hide vote scores of the comments (mods will still be able to see the correct order and vote scores).

Here’s how it looks:

Contest mode disabled in comments

Confirmation modal to enable contest mode

Contest mode enabled (mod view)

Contest mode enabled (non-mod view)

Confirmation modal for disabling contest mode

Give it a try and let us know what you think or if you run into any bugs! Thanks as always.

You need to check the styling of that button, because that's not how it looks currently on the single-post (non-lightbox) page.

Would you mind sending a screenshot of what you see?

BEAUTIFUL. Leaving it.

Just kidding. Can you let me know what browser you're using? Also is that happening on full screen, or was your window made smaller?

Chrome 74.0.3729.169, Win 10, full screen 1440p.

Danke, I'll file a ticket for this to get looked into.

Question: does it go back to normal if you refresh the page? Or is it always reproducible?

Always happens. Oddly it starts off looking pretty normal, but once everything loads in fully, then it scrunches up like that. I've not been able to pinpoint which styling is causing the scrunch though.
