Basic word only page gone?

49 18 October 1, 2026 at 02:32 AM
I have had a basic text only version link saved on my phone for over 7 years and now with new iOS and phone I have lost the ability to view that, now I have the color pictures etc when I go to home page, have tried classic and doesn't change.
Have had this a couple time and people were able to post the old link for this, but looks like forums have wiped that out and my saved one do not work anymore. I'm on iPhone using Safari if anyone can help, I just prefer the text only version of the page.

Check SpaceCallahan's link, but if that's not what you're looking for, you might want to try playing with a couple of the options at the top of the page in Classic view. One is the "Simple" view versus the "Grid" or "List" view. That makes most of the deals show up as text instead of pictures. Also, there's an option to turn off the "Featured Deals" at the top of the page … that will get rid of the highlighted deals with pics that try to grab a spot at the top of the page above the text-only section. Not sure if that might be close to what you're looking for, but another option that you might want to try out anyway. I'll add a couple of pics from my view to give an idea what I'm talking about.
