Hello all, long time member here. This is quite long-winded, so I'll apologize in advance.

I've been having an issue with the Slickdeals App for the past 12-18 moths or so? I've had my Samsung Note 20 Ultra since 2020. I had the Slickdeals App installed on that for the entire time, until Slickdeals put out that New Beta app a few years ago (?) I installed that and gave my input, and had the Original App during that time without issues. After the wrapped up the Beta, and I think put out the Updated Current App, I couldn't seem to download/install it to my Note 20. That was around 18-12 months ago I believe.

Can be cleared or removed by pressing "Empty" on 'Manage Folders' page, or opening the message only visible on mobile app.


Looks like these are alert messages loaded on the all from Slickalerts, that isn't yet available on web, but the active toast count can be both annoying and confusing for users.

Ive been here a long time and Love Slickdeals but I'm trying to cut down on the number of emails I get each day. I must get 12-15 per day. Many are irrelavant. Like I get tons of ones for sneakers. I also get duplicates.
I love the deals but want to cut down on the duplications and irrelavent ones. I've gone through and deleted a bunch of alerts a few weeks ago but no reducion in emails.
Any ideas?

The original post is essentially hidden, and you have to expand the 'about original poster' and 'see original post' on mobile to even see an option to give reputation points to the person who is responsible for posting the deal in the first place. The last few deals I've posted that made the front page, I either got a couple of reps from posters or none at all. It seems like most of the reps go to the staff user whose name is more prominent on the Front Page listing. I decided to bring this up now after seeing that BostonFever only has like 68 rep points (including the four I just gave him) after posting a Samsung TV deal with 150 cumulative up votes. It took me three or four minutes to find his original post and figure out how to actually give him a rep. That's pretty ridiculous. Maybe it's just that I'm slow, but SD should definitely be putting more emphasis on repping the OPs instead of just tucking their posts away and requiring extra clicks to see them and give them rep points. ]]> Sat, 23 May 26 23:31:08 +0000 Slickdeals Site Questions, Issues or Suggestions Forum Forum leecm thread-19554306 <![CDATA[The "Giveaways" update to the app has lead to a flood of junk posts trying to get tickets.]]> https://slickdeals.net/f/19547730-the-quot-giveaways-quot-update-to-the-app-has-lead-to-a-flood-of-junk-posts-trying-to-get-tickets?utm_source=rss&utm_content=&utm_medium=RSS2 Ever since the app was updated with the "Giveaway" tab, there's been a noticable influx of posts that are nothing more than blatant attempts to grab 50 entry tickets with junk comments like, "good deal," "great deal," "Nice deal," and so on.

Why? It seems most of the Staff posts are rather mediocre deals with ratings that I'd guess are artificially inflated by other staffers and bots providing up-votes.

It used to be that we could see who was providing thumbs up and thumbs down on the SD Live feed, but that feature went away a few years ago. My guess is that feature went away so that we could no longer see the extent to which the ballots are being stuffed. ]]> Mon, 30 Jun 25 15:46:50 +0000 Slickdeals Site Questions, Issues or Suggestions Forum Forum tstarks https://slickdeals.net/f/18413563-feature-request-filter-deal-threads-to-exclude-sd-staff-posts?utm_source=rss&utm_content=&utm_medium=RSS2 <![CDATA[Stop & conversion on Classic view?]]> https://slickdeals.net/f/19529379-stop-amp-conversion-on-classic-view?utm_source=rss&utm_content=&utm_medium=RSS2 What do I need to change in my SD settings so whenever "&" is used it is not converted to

I don't know if it's my desktop browser (Brave) or what, but yesterday I switched to Midnight mode for the first time and it looks like crap. The point of dark mode is to have an overall dark theme while not using any bright colors, but I see a lot of white / black contrasts and unreadable text.

I had a weird experience with Onamar.com which appears to be legit, but they had the same item listed at 4 different prices, at 1/4th the retail price. I attempted to make a purchase with 2 different cards, both of which gave me 'card type not accepted" type errors, and it felt off. It appeared to be using a legit Square type system but then I got fraud alerts, and notice from one bank that I'd added Apple pay digital wallet. The purchases didn't go through, but both cards I tried using were attached to phone numbers that aren't mine. I had to freeze both cards just in case, and ended up making the purchase on Amazon.
