This website is gltchy because of all the animations and GUI (like buttons and links) it just lags, is there any settings for a voat like GUI. or like a reddit like GUI.

the UI here is pretty good, in terms of functionality. I thought Voat was cleaner looking and I prefer the white background but we're lucky to have such a good spot to move to.

I don’t find this site to be glitchy at all, and UI is slightly better than voat

The UI/UX on Poal might have been better before more frequent content was showing up, but the Voay influx has shown the UI's weaknesses. I had to write a new User Script to fix many of the UI/UX issues and add some enhancements I enjoyed on Voat that are sorely lacking here on Poal. Something simple like hovering over a username and getting an account age and some other voting vital statistics should be part of Poal's base functionality. I had to add that functionality myself since I like to see account ages on users I don't recognize or are suspicious of.

Another feature I will need to add is user tagging and votes given. This helps me identify the users I have things in common with by the flair that they get tagged with. This wasn't a native Voat feature, but it was part of the Amateur Voat Enhancement suite (browser extension) that was similar to the Reddit Enhancement Suite which added a bunch of bells and whistles to the site. I will probably add this feature myself soon, but I miss it already. At least I have my Qtard detector and spam site flair working right now so that helps.

But yeah, Poal, and too a lesser extent Voat, both needed more useful functionality in their UIs instead of snow or other slightly amusing/annoying things. If Poal won't add it, I will add it myself for myself. It really does help my browsing experience become more efficient and pleasurable.

These are good suggestions, maybe poal can improve and add these functions
