Whoever is making the changes on the site isn't looking at their work. They seem to be really quick to throw half-done changes up and don't seem to have the time to test anything. Right now the new thumbnail previews either get stuck in a loop flashing two thumbs back to back forever, or they flash a couple more and then fall back to the loop. We can't see the alt-text on any videos, galleries or groups because the flashing thumbnails make the text disappear long before it can be read. Being able to mouse over a video and see the title before clicking it was definitely useful so hopefully the site isn't left like this for long.
Overall the changes look like they're coming along and I'm sure the result will be a better site so good luck and keep up the good work!
