![]() I'm not sure I would continue using Reddit if they ditch the old design completely. To this day, I have not seen a website with a design that's worse than new Reddit, though the new Twitter comes a close second for me, but that's easily fixable with the GoodTwitter2 script. This is, in my opinion, the extension's best feature. Reddit Enhancement Suite allowed me to disable a subreddit's custom design, giving me the original one, which has always been perfectly usable. I don't understand the logic behind such decisions. Some subreddits disable various elements like the upvote and downvote buttons, the subscriber count, and in rare cases, even the search bar is hidden by the admins/mods. The interface is like Facebook's news feed, utter garbage, making navigation and searching for stuff, a real pain. I could go on and on about how bad the design is. It is a hideous monstrosity with wasted space either side of the screen, has links to promote other discussions right in the middle of the current thread, and even the subreddit sidebar is sort of in the middle of the screen. I found myself visiting it frequently to learn more things, stay up-to-date on tech and gaming news, and providing help when I could.Ī few years ago, when I logged on to Reddit, something didn't look right. Reddit is one of my favorite sites, a friend introduced me to it when I sought some information about a decade ago. ![]() New Reddit - The redesign nobody asked for The push towards the new Reddit is also a cause for concern. If you read the comments from the Reddit Enhancement Suite developers, they blame the platform for being closed source and not developer-friendly. Since it is an open source project, there is also the possibility of other developers forking the add-on and taking it from there. Essentially, it depends on the developer community, with limited support from the core developers. The good news is that the add-on's developers have said they may provide patches to fix bugs, or release new options if the source code has been merged with pull requests from other users. This means the extension will not add support for changes made to the website, or to support the redesign. It's always sad to see good software die, but it is not dead yet, RES will be in life support mode for the foreseeable future. Currently there are just 2 developers working on RES. Despite its popularity, the project did not receive much in terms of donations, which can be somewhat demotivating for a team that is working on the development of the plugin. The add-on, abbreviated as RES, has been around for a decade, and is available on all major add-on repositories including Firefox AMO, the Chrome Webstore, Opera Addons, and the Microsoft Store. The developers of the open source extension have made an announcement at the add-on's subreddit, where they say that several members of the core developer team are busy or have moved on to other projects. Why is Reddit Enhancement Suite in maintenance mode The popular plugin which made the platform usable, for users, could come to an end if things don't change. TLDR: if you had data in Backupify for more than 1 year, and a client deleted something older than 1 year, and then went to recover it, they are out of luck.The Reddit Enhancement Suite add-on for Firefox and Chrome has entered maintenance mode. Seats archived more than a year before the setting change also maintain their most recent backup. (See linked KB article: for more detail.) These historical backups include all files stored in your production environment at any point during the last year, including any files created before that time. Please note that for all accounts the platform continues to maintain all historical backups taken in the past year as well as all data since we began backups, according to the established product retention schedule. **Impact of the configuration setting change:**For the impacted accounts, if a user manually deleted files from the production environment more than one year previous to the configuration issue, then only those deleted files are no longer available. ![]() Once Datto identified the issue, the retention period for the affected account was reverted back to its prior setting. **What happened:**A software configuration issue caused select account retention settings to be unintentionally changed to the default setting of one year. Do not trust Backupify - whether this was worldwide, Canada only or just us and a small cluster - We received this email from Datto about their SAAS backup platform (Backupify) on April 27:
