| 2024-10-05 |  | | en | works perfectly! Thanks! |
| 2024-10-02 |  | | en | Review edit: Reddit has broken the use case below and has nothing to do with the extension itself. This extension seems to have partially broken as of October 2nd, 2024. It will still redirect to old.reddit.com but when attempting to navigate directly to a subreddit with a url in the format of "news.reddit.com", instead of redirecting to "old.reddit.com/r/news" it redirects to the user's home page of "old.reddit.com" and fails to navigate to the subreddit. I was going to open a pull request on the git page for the extension but it looks like the backend engineers over at reddit might've broken something. These urls are now returning 301 MOVED PERMANENTLY. |
| 2024-09-18 |  | | en | I absolutely need old Reddit to enable the Reddit Enhancement Suite extension. RES settings console → Subreddits → filteReddit (filteReddit) → Filter Subreddits From (filterSubredditsFrom) According to the RESoptions.filteReddit value in a RES backup file, I have over 2000 subreddits blocked from r/all. Without the extension, I think there's a limit to the number of subreddits that you can filter (100?). Other useful RES feature Default Comment Depth For especially front page posts with a lot of comments, it helps to use the Comment Depth limit feature to limit seeing replies to replies to replies. Default Comment Depth RES settings console → Comments → Custom Comment Depth (commentDepth) → Default Comment Depth (defaultCommentDepth) (Another option to limit comment depth is clickable JavaScript Bookmarklets that you put in your bookmark toolbar. Bookmark with the URL: javascript:$('.commentarea .child ').toggle();void 0 Only see the parent comments. javascript:$('.commentarea .child .child').toggle();void 0 Only see the parents and the replies to parents. ) |
| 2024-09-13 |  | | en | Ever since the new design has been introduced it has simply not been working. They try to re-create the mobile app version on the official website and it's just so much unnecessary clutter and space. This extension ensures that you get the actually good and full experience of Reddit on PC. Let's just hope that Reddit continues support for the old version. As soon as they don't - I'm out. |
| 2024-09-09 |  | | en | Fantastic extension that works even in incognito mode. Couldn't use Reddit without it. Devs are quick to respond if you have an issue as well. |
| 2024-09-09 |  | | en | I cannot believe I am just discovering this add-in after years of always changing the URLs manually. Thank you thank you. I have idea what they're on about in new Reddit... |
| 2024-09-05 |  | | en | Stopped working today, gives this error "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure" |
| 2024-08-28 |  | | en | Seems to have stopped working. Was good while it lasted but seems the new UI is being forced on everyone now. |
| 2024-08-16 |  | | en | Thank you so much. I have used this for several years now. I love you. |
