New "Redesign" view issues

Surprised there aren't more posts about the new "redesign" view (not mobile version but desktop version). I think the main issue I'm having is when replying to a comment in a deal forum...instead of the normal box that pops up in the lower right, I get a very simplistic text entry box right below the post I'm replying to and there are no formatting or other controls! How to add a URL or make something bold, or anything other than the 3 buttons they give you for emoji, attach a picture and I forget the 3rd but all the normal controls are gone.
Now, if I'm not in a deal forum, reply does the normal box in the with all the tools. And the frontpage looks even more different. The lack of uniformity is getting crazy.
I hate it.

There was no problem with the design before. Why do they always insist on messing with something that currently works?
The site is only hurting itself, because it's such a bad user experience, people abandon their session here, while waiting for this site to work out whatever it's going through.
The 'new' redesign was announced back in Sept of last year, here https://slickdeals.net/f/17790153-upcoming-iterative-improvements-to-redesign-deal-details-page-search-experience-engine-and-homepage?v=1 so please feel free to comment there what you don't like or use the feedback button or the dedicated email address in the first post of that thread. Speak up, say what you don't like and even what you do like (so that they hopefully keep it). But be specific, because generic general 'I don't like it' doesn't tell them what part or parts you think need changed. Give them something to actually sink their teeth into fixing or changing. They are actively listening/reading/trying.

They did announce the new redesign stuff, back in Sept last year, so they're not hiding it
You're welcome to add your feedback to that thread, or via the feedback button on the page again or via the feedback email that's in the first post of the announcement thread.
But I saw recently that they ARE working on tweaking or reworking the comment box stuff though not sure if that's for the site or the apps or both, so have patience please.
I'll read through the announcement and comment there. Thank you.
