#14It seems to work fine here. Just be aware that you need to go into the site settings and re‑enable Old Reddit (even if it’s already enabled, you have to toggle it again). They did that some time ago, and it doesn't "remember" your preference if you use a fresh browser session.
nope. this has to do with not being logged in. you used to go to old.reddit.com without being logged in.
That's gone now.
