New dropdown top bar sucks.

This is different than the other post in this form as I don't want to go back to the entire old redesign.

Hovering over community doesn't automatically bring up the list of forms.
Several forms are missing and it's annoying to have to add extra clicks to get there.
There is so much wasted space.
Something is wrong with the avatars and scaling. It's shrinks the width more than the height.
I'm guessing it's designed to me more mobile friendly (but IDK because I use basic html), but the desktop version still needs help.

Is there a way to just go back to the old header?

So much for fixing things 3 weeks after the rollout. It's been 3 months and it still is just as bad as day 2 (once they fixed the automatic popups).
SD is really getting terrible!

You are like a time keeper [marvel.com] (Marvel Universe). I kid. I kid. Thanks for calling this out. Here is the latest. There is a bigger overhaul of the homepage and some key site pages that are in early product design planning. Given some of the 20-year-old code powering the site, it is a non trivial project to get the enhancements live. You can see some mocks of the last draft of product design proposals for the nav below. Soon, I look forward to sharing mockups of the overall product design enhancement plans. Thanks for your patience while our lean and mighty team prioritizes to the best of our ability and incorporates your thoughtful feedback.

Two more months of suffering. It is just as bad if not worse than day 1. If you had any legit competition you'd be doomed. Quit spending time on your (also broken) rewards system and restore basic site functionality

An additional 2 months of nonstop issues. Why doesn't anyone care to fix it? None of my reported problems have been fixed!

Still zero of these reported problems have been fixed. Y'all really should stop introducing new things until the old ones are fixed!

Long story short: staff changes, resource changes, poor test results, priority changes. All that said, you will soon see some of that new design in the mobile apps. I am currently holding a private beta of the new Slickdeals mobile app in my hand so I *know* it is coming soon. I also know that some of the design changes referenced in this thread are coming to category pages soon. I know that the community design team is working on a universal navigation bar now that Slickdeals consists of a bunch of major parts:
Deals
Coupons
Extension
Cashback Rewards
Money
Daily news
Black Friday

The community knows and aims to fix the wonky navigation between all those shopper resources. Thanks for holding the team accountable and for continuing to share you passion and frustration.

Past the 2 year anniversary and you continue to roll out terrible things like nested replies, but no fixes to the awful navigation bar.

Or the new full screen background ads that appear when you scroll. Sometimes my iphone will get stuck on the full screen ad and I can no longer scroll up or down and I need to close out the tab completely or navigate elsewhere. Like seriously wtf SD?

That sounds like a bug or bad ad. Can you please attach a picture of that happening here or send an email into [email protected] so that we can look into this?
