Is there a curtain number two, Monte? I feel like curtain number one was a Zonk!
And how am I supposed to regret my life choices if I can’t see expired deals?

Carousel buttons (""), and especially the div container they live in, hide the content underneath them.
E.g. on https://slickdeals.net/computer-deals/ there are (at least) two carousels, “Trending...

I think the “for me” summary is so much better than the dedicated tab.
One page to see what is for me or the latest front page additions makes it much easier to make sure I didn’t miss...

I don't like the redesign for two main reasons.
First, never-ending scroll is bad and I want to see the break up of deals by dates.
Second, I want to be able to see the expired deals for each...

The new layout finally loaded for me. So jarring and unsightly. The white hurt my eyes. I hope they don't force us to move to it.

Absolutely terrible.

Too much white space, too hard to find what's important without staring at small print (like when the deal was posted)......
Another example of change just to...

Ditto on the blinding white space. Also, I'm not sure a dark mode will help with all the empty space. It feels 'sparse' for some reason but I changed the default for me to Frontpage so maybe that...

Thank you for this feedback. Settings are coming that should support a more 'condensed' mode for members who know their way around.

I hate the new Front Page layout. Am blinded by the WHITENESS of the page. Cannot focus on the individual POSTS.
Please change it back or add more background color.

Terrible color options. Terrible. We have to choose between blinding and fug. Where's the traditional neutral option?
