I CAN NOT GET MN CLASSIC BACK AND I WANT IT

if u are using IE, you can copy and paste the above code stuff into notepad - fixing the smiley with a colon and the letter o. save it as maumsnet.cc or similar.

In internet explorer, go to tools, go to internet options, click on the accessibility button (bottom right hand corner ish) and select the tick box that says something about style sheets and lick that to your saved notepad file.

job done

hate this - have opted for classic settings and nothing seems to have changed.

in the previous previous post the smiley face should be a colon and letter o ie. : o

regards, Antdamms dp

open notepad and copy & paste my previous post to it, then save as mumsnet.css

now that you have added the web developer toolbar. on there the third button is called css click that then click 'Add User Stylesheet' that will go to your My Documents and let you pick your mumsnet.css file
you will notice the whole thing will change to better colours with wider threads

unfortunatley you will need to reselect the sheet each time

maybe someone knows how to make it stick?

according to my dp, if you use firefox and you go here and download that, you can make changes to width and colours etc if your up for it!!

Makes it quite easy to read

Nooooooooo. just sat down from work and don't like it. can't get classic and to press shift and refresh to stop it being too spread out in firefox and wonder why on earth there are no pages 1 of X in really long threads.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hate the changes soooooo much and I know I will NEVER get used to it.

If that doesn't work someone else off another thread said to click on the blue circle with a stalk off it at the top of your screen (mine is next to my search bit).

Have you not got 'reload' as an option in 'view'?

Bummer. I am on Firefox perhaps that makes a difference?

I am guessing wildly here as I know nowt about puters.

Its at the top of your screen. I have 'file', 'edit', then 'view'. Click on 'view' and then 'reload'.

I have found the view, but have no idea what you are on about

Innocentbystander...where is this view you speak of?

Me too Expat. Its peeing me off.

I'm sure there's some way of altering my laptop so that the threads actually fit on the screen (my technical expert - dh - is at work), but then surely I'll have tiny little text on every other site I go on?

I was in a fairly good mood until I came on here.

on the old board, when i clicked on Active Convos the threads i'd already contributed to or looked at were highlighted.

now i have to read all the thread titles to see which if any i've already looked at.

hmm I have tried various things but think I agree that it needs more contrast

You know they COULD make it fixed width BUT do a light-blue BACKGROUND so that the white borders are light blue

ANYWAY I'm sure they've had a LOVELY day in the office

My margins are all over the place !

Knickers -

My stuff was all bunched up but I clicked on 'view' (at top of page), then 'reload' (Control + R), and it has spaced it all out just like it used to be.

I am a convert now, it looks jsut like it used to.

I've got (a version of) classic but really need more contrast on the font colours for headings , poster's name etc. It is sending my eyes twitchy.

Really don't like the lists under each topic and Active Conversations though , looks very crude, nor not having the full list of available topics to select from.

God this is awful. I don't know why everyone is going on about margins, I can't even get the whole thread on the page, I have to keep scrolling from side to side to read anything, which is making me feel quite queasy.
We were promised we could keep it the same if we wanted. Lies, all lies .
