The Slickdeals community team has been working hard to make Slickdeals the best it can be for over 20 years, and new updates roll out to the community almost every week.

As a part of that effort, we'll be merging the Classic version of Slickdeals with the latest version of Slickdeals over the next 12 months.

You can anticipate the following as part of that platform merger:
  • Access to the Classic version of Slickdeals will reduce over time. This process starts on August 22, 2023.
  • You can expect a variety of improvements to the latest version of Slickdeals, often referred to within the community as "Redesign," specifically intended to make it easier for Classic users to transition to Redesign.
  • The team of engineers and product folks managing the merger will conduct continuous interviews to make sure a variety of community voices and points of view are included. You can sign up for a 1:1 with a team member here [calendly.com].
  • If you primarily use Classic, you will migrate over to the newest version of Slickdeals throughout the next year.

If you primarily use Classic, there's no need for you to take any action. Your current Slickdeals account will remain active and will change to the current, unified experience automatically.

Millions of Slickdeals members are already using the current version of the website, which has dark mode support, improved shopping intelligence, and easier ways to engage with the community.

Change can be hard. Bringing all Slickdealers together into a single experience will enable you to continue to enjoy the latest community features and enhancements.

Thank you for being a member of the Slickdeals community!

I'd ask anyone who is truly opposed to this change to schedule a time to talk with someone from SD one on one. Maybe, if we get enough folks to talk to them directly, maybe, just maybe, we can get them to give us a ... hmm... a Classic Clone using redesign. (?)

Try clearing SD cookies? Also, if you changed from Redesign back to Classic from a non-thread or a Front Page thread view page it tends to not 'stick'. If that's the case, go to any non-Front Page thread, scroll to the bottom and select the Classic link on the bottom right. It should 'stick' after that.

If that doesn't work then you can try emailing [email protected] to ask for help fixing it.
