Can we please have a MN Classic option for those who can't cope with the changes?

It's really bright and it's almost impossible to differentiate between people's posts. Can you not make the background customisable so people can have it a darker colour?

This is horrible & everything is now stuck in a small strip that is maybe 1/3 of the width of my screen so it's an endless scroll to read anything.

Why do this?

Was it not white before? I don't remember

On my normal sized iPhone everything is squished into a 4cm square due to a massive ad at the top. Font is massive so can only see literally 3 threads at a time in the list (previously it was 10+). Horrible horrible, won’t be using as much.

I'm not keen on the reply quotes now being in a grey box, when scrolling down to skip to OP posts or whatever it really makes me stop like it's an important post which is annoying when on some threads there can be so many. Also not so keen on everything being white

The white background is awful and the print is really pale. The site feels cold and bleak now it’s horrible.

I am sure you can, it will probably cost you money, though.

Yes, this is pretty awful - also why is my trending screen full of old threads?

And why can't I do "see all" for the OP's posts and then Flip? It was such a handy way to catch up!

i was using new mumsnet, not classic, but i did have the posts with a colour background, this white is too start.

The font is slightly too large, needs bringing down a point i think, and on my laptop screen its all squished into this 6 inch space with 2 inches to the left and about 6 or 7 to the right.. of just.. blank, grey space.

Please sort the formatting out!

If we could just have an option to make the background a dull blue, grey, green or sepia (or anything other than white!) it would make a huge difference; I'm not going to be able to use it much at all with the white unfortunately

Have to say don’t love the new format. And where is the button to view all posts in the thread?

Not a good start to the day

Ugh I hate this new look. Whatever you had before; please go back to it!

It wouldn't just be a case of applying the old style to the new platform, it would most likely need to be rebuilt from scratch to work with the new code

Yes sorry have to agree with the glare and white background being a problem, also the zoomed in feeling. The brightness just makes me want to look away and turn it off and I'm already using a low-glare filter on my phone.

I really don't like the new site. I can only see a few lines at a time and scrolling makes my eyes hurt. I have cataracts so need for the site not to be so white and bland.

This always happens when a forum moves to a new platform. People like to be eased in and sometimes it's just not possible, so is a shock to the system. I'm sure tweeks will be made.

Have to agree with everyone else - it feels odd - wrong font, spacing. can't find some of my threads I'm watching. Surely we can have the old look on e new platform

I'm not a fan, either. Regarding width: this far down the page, I only get 6 inches of text to 13 inches of laptop screen. Regarding depth: because the line-spacing is so pronounced, I can only see about three posts at a time.

It all feels like it is floating in space in an inconsequential, unimportant way.

Like this!

I am open to the fatc things might need to change. But can we please give feedback about the new look?

1. too pale, too white, doesn't read easily as the mn text boxes don;t stand out from all the ads and space around. I used to have purple OP boxes and green boxes for my posts and it is all pale blue and white. Colour please.
2. too zoomed in. I can only see 2 posts at a time. I have good glasses, don't need the screen zoomed in! I thought I needed to reset my settings.
3. mn only now takes up half of the screen on my laptop. I really really REALLY object to half the screen being ads. Make the ad bar smaller please

It feels to me as if it’s an older, less good version of what we already had! It’s looks and feel just dreadful.

The new layout looks like we've zoomed in, so my brain can't see the bigger picture. Feel like I'm peering through a small hole

It's terribly impractical and headache inducing.

Hate the new site puts me off using it now. Makes me feel ill.

I’ve only ever used Classic - I can’t cope with the non stop movement when you’re scrolling - I didn’t have ads before and these ones are really animated, you’re constantly accidentally climbing on them !

Hate this new look, frankly it’ll limit my perusing time which is probably a good thing.
