'How Predictable Are You?' Interactive Game Proves We're All Slaves To Patterns. StumbleUpon Brings Back Source Links and More. On December 5, 2011, StumbleUpon launched their biggest redesign ever, which streamlined a huge amount of their code, along with a number of drastic changes that completely changed the way StumbleUpon looks and operates. Although most of the changes on the site where received positively, two changes came under criticism. This included the removal of the source links from StumbleUpon’s ‘info pages’ and the removal of the ‘X” from the StumbleBar for logged in users, which allowed them to close the iframed bar and view the original source. Shortly after the article was released, StumbleUpon responded clarifying the reasoning behind the changes and indicated that they would stay open to additional changes based on the feedback they were receiving. Note that in the StumbleUpon blog post, it says that they brought the ‘X’ back to the StumbleBar: “To ensure webmasters’ content gets proper credit from our domain, we have added a link from our web page’s Info page to the original URL.
