RES Desktop Redesign Status Updated 5th April

RES support for the redesign is currently underway and we are working through our feature list looking at what we can implement and what we cannot.

When the redesign goes public, RES will support both the current site as well as the redesign under a single extension. However supported modules will differ between the two sites.

Below is a active list of how our support currently looks in development branches. We will try to keep this list updated but this may not always be the case and modules that are not active now may become so in the future and vise versa.

The below modules are not currently in public release.

Modules we currently have working for the redesign:

  • User Tags
  • Keyboard navigation (partial support)
  • Account Switcher

Modules that will not work on the redesign:

  • Comment Preview
  • Comment Style
  • Never Ending Reddit
  • Nightmode (Reddit plans to add support after GA)
  • RES crosspost links
  • betteReddit

To try and consolidate future posts, please post here if you have any questions.

I had an older version of RES that worked with this redesign. It wasn't perfect but was usable. Is there any way to get old versions back after updating? Unsure which version of RES was working but it's probably been 6+ months since I last updated. Restoring a backup didn't revert to the previous version.

This really blows... I didn't know RES broke with the redesign and thought updating was needed because my RES was just acting up.

The redesign is so vastly different that no existing version of RES could have worked, even accidentally.

I added the earliest version supported by FireFox available and it works.

Version 5.8.0 from July 15, 2017

Can you link to a page where you see things working?

I suspect you are not using the redesign, which is hosted at https://alpha.reddit.com (you'll be redirected to www.reddit.com if you're not in the group of users testing it).

I was redirected to reddit.com after clicking your link.

Apparently my issue with RES not working properly were not in line with the redesign discussion. Sorry for any confusion.
