yes perhaps it should be called "Elasticated waist Mumsnet"

I have reverted back to MN classic too. Sounds like I shop in C&A or summat and wear classic cut slacks.

But sometimes if you are not logged in it reverts to the new MN so sometimes I read threads from teh top, tehn the bottom, it really is confusing.

Mumsnet for the workplace (wtf?) is even worse. There is no line between the name of the previous poster and the next post. Very confusing.

Bring me my slippers and Horlicks.

I am just trying out the pale blue Mumsnet version and boy is it hard to read! There is not enough contrast between colours. It looks like my screen sometimes looks like when the lead is not properly in and the colour definition goes.

I don't care what the old Mumsnet is called. Classic is fine by me, just so long as there is the option.

FrannyandZooey · 30/10/2007 20:56

I had forgotten there WAS a new MN, tbh

morningpaper · 30/10/2007 20:53

yes I want to feel like I am part of the NEW IMPROVED AND LEMON SCENTED! mumsnet although really it just hurts my eyes

unknownrebelbang · 30/10/2007 20:53

rofl at Moondog's pot noodle stash!

paulaplumpbottom · 30/10/2007 20:53

Calling it Mumsnet Classic reminds me of Coke's blunder

motherinferior · 30/10/2007 20:52

Yes! Vintage. Exactly. I want to feel cutting-edge and all (har har har) not timidly retreating back to the safe zone.

I have put mine "back" to the old style

I feel like I'm watching in black and white though

CarGirl · 30/10/2007 20:49

paulaplumpbottom · 30/10/2007 20:49

Vintage Mumsnet

BeetrootMNRoyalty · 30/10/2007 20:48

oh MI - I am so glad you said that. I am all confused now. I AM TRENDY and with it but I don't want the new MN but I don't want NOT to choose it

Soph - your birthday? when when?

Have pissed about with it and looks a leetle better.

Still,beside the point.
Too much choice is not liberating.
Why don't people get that?
Reminds me of the time I bought a tumble dryer (gripping stuff) and I waved aside the assistant with her guff about 'holding anti crease and static delayed cycles' and said (laconic Jewish momma style)
'Listen lady,I want two buttons. On/Off and Hot/Not so hot. Goddit???'

She seemed oddly relieved.

Mumsnet Authentic.

motherinferior · 30/10/2007 20:46

If they rename it Mumsnet Retro that would be OK. Or Mumsnet Post-modern.

DumbledoresGirl · 30/10/2007 20:45

Moondog, this has been done about 5 million times already (and the changes only occurred last week). Click classic mumsnet and remind yourself not to work so hard in future so you can complain alongside everyone else next time.

paulaplumpbottom · 30/10/2007 20:45

I don't like it

Snout out I say.

Yes, but customising it to be Classic feels all retrograde and uptight and things that people like Beetroot and Moondog and I would hate to think of ourselves as being, innit. It makes us sound as if we dress in sensible Country Casuals and drink sherry.

Want it BAAAACCCCCKKK!!!
