Can't get the site to stay on the Classic design

2,315 778 March 29, 2026 at 12:19 PM
Lately every time I come to this site, it's set to the Redesign layout. I scroll down to the bottom and click on the Classic layout, and it still refreshes to show the Redesign. If I do this 2-3 times it will finally work and stay on the Classic design.

But it doesn't last for long, typically a day or two later I have to repeat the process again.

I have no idea why it's happening, I'm not doing anything weird like clearing out cookies frequently.

It is normal for it to take 2-3 tries to get to Classic from Redesign, but I'm not sure why you're getting pushed back into Redesign after a couple days if you aren't clearing cookies or signing out. Several of us here at Slickdeals use Classic and I'm personally not aware of any of us unintentionally ending up in Redesign that frequently.

Do you have any extensions or anything that could be clearing/deleting some cookies or other settings?

Not that I know of. It's worked fine for years and I haven't changed any browser extensions. Maybe it's possible that one of them updated and now screws around with cookies when it didn't before, but none of them are meant to have anything to do with cookies or browsing history.

this problem of the site switching from classic to the redesign continues to happen. it's rather annoying. already tried logging out/in with clearing cookies/cache. nothing works. it just keep reocurring after a few days. i use zero extensions on chrome browser.

I'm sorry to hear that. I believe the setting is saved in a cookie, and outside of this thread I haven't heard much about it happening so often so I'm wondering if there's something in the background on your system that is clearing them behind the scenes Scratchhead
