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

Would it be so difficult to have a MN Classic option - which we have always had, and which some of us have been using since the original format change - for posters who find the changing format difficult? There are many posters with neurodiversity, for example, who will probably stop posting here because it all abruptly looks and feels wrong Sad

hell yes

Please can we have a classic option. I really do not like this

It’s the non stop scrolling which is awful. On this thread I can only see three messages at a time and have to scroll to see others. I don’t understand how it’s so bad.

Please. Was also still using classic and really dislike this.

It’s awful!

@peachgreen if that's the case, then I honestly think that's it for me. It isn't MN like this. It's made me tearful and anxious (and bollocks to anyone who thinks that's pathetic, ableism isn't a good look)

Opening MN this morning was like going out into the garden and finding out that someone's replaced all your flowers with packing noodles. Awful.

It's a new platform, not just a new design, so I can't imagine that would be possible.

It would be handy to have a few neurodiverse ppl cast an eye over a new format to point out difficulties & better ideas for colours/shapes/layout etc.

Definitely agree 😯

Stabbitystabstab · 20/04/2022 11:44

It reminds me of crappy forums from the 90s 😂

vodkaredbullgirl · 20/04/2022 11:43

Please, hate the new look.

Howeverdoyouneedme · 20/04/2022 11:43

Hard agree

TabithaTittlemouse · 20/04/2022 11:42

Yes please. I was still using classic.
