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:
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.

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.

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. (?)

I associate it with loving an old '65 hotrod... great cars, we love them but they cannot be modified to handle all of the newer safety features, many electronic upgrades and such.

Hi, I looked into it and it looks as though that is on hold and no new members have been moved over. Your account should still be able to access classic. On the footer of the page, you should see the option to view the site with classic/redesign/mobile view. If you click on classic, it should take you back to the view that you are used to.
Did you know that the Classic View solved this problem by using a better font style in black?
I'm not going to set up a developer training meeting for this type of fumble.
Edit: Nevermind. As soon as I made this post it changed to classic view.
Edit 2: It suddenly switched back to the redesign, and clicking classic view does nothing.

(Edit: actually, the Safari setting I mentioned is to make all websites open in desktop view. To change it for just one site, click the "aA" icon at the top left of the web address bar when your at the SD website and pick Desktop view there.)
Also, if you click the following link, does it show up as classic style? I have my iPhone set to use the mobile version overall, but when I go to that bookmark of my subscribed threads, that part shows up in classic style for me and it's mostly where I navigate from (although I haven't played with it for a while since I got it going a few months ago)
