I CAN NOT GET MN CLASSIC BACK AND I WANT IT

243 replies

excuse me for shouting

I have gone to customize, chosen MN classic, clicked save etc and I still have this set up which thank you very much is not for me right now. PLEASE help as this is ruining my relaxing breakfast over MN while DS watches Thomas time! [panic emoticon]

I can't get it back, either.

And so I'll be spending the evening doing something else.

Really don't like the new layout at all.

don't like how I can't scroll to the bottom and start from there and have to jump pages.

Oh, well, I have a lot of thank you notes to write and washing to fold.

feck, this is rubbish....just tried to adjust it all back to it's lovely old good and it won't let me...
I want classic back and I want it now, sigh....
I am sorry, I hate this format ...
I was looking forward to an evening of mumsnetting, but I think I ratehr chew of my own arm then navigate this
Why change something that worked perfectly well...WHY?
Sigh....

oops British I meant - must be catching

Antdamm · 30/01/2009 17:28

sorry for long post ranting.......

Also just wanted to check, this site is Brittish yes? Why does it say Customize at the top - we spell it with an S

I am not a fan of this change. I have a throbbing headache and I'm squinting at the screen to read the words (I'm using a 37" TV as a monitor!!!) It shouldnt be like this at all. When I typed into the address bar to go to mumsnet and this site popped up I actually hit home and searched from google, as i was sure I was on Bounty.

The colours are all wishy washy - the choices are blue, blue with a box, white out - major headache or purple. Not very imaginative.

The worst things I have noticed (as have many others) is that you can no longer read the titles of the threads withiut clicking on them - even when the last word could be the most crucial!! And the margins at the sides are doing nothing for my headache (btw can I send the bill to MNHQ for paracetamol??)

With a stark white background and wishy washy headers - it is not as inviting as it was yesterday.

I am a fan of the links at the bottom of the page and I like the new layout for finding topics better etc. Its just not my cup of tea as it is now - I would prefer a compromise between the two.

and why does the last post keep going to the top but you have to scroll down to add another post? i flipped it, added another post and it un-flipped itself! now its at the flipping top again!

YOu can change the way it the messages appear (top to bottom or bottom to top) in customise.

you also have an add a message link next to every post (see right hand side of blue bar next to report). You don't need to do any scrolling RedOnHerHead.

This is making Facebook look appealing

nightmarehelp · 30/01/2009 17:04

The margins and fixed width are awful (sorry ). Now I can't change the width or typesize the way I want that makes it easy for me to read.

paddingtonbear1 · 30/01/2009 16:52

It's giving me a headache as well. And I've switched back to 'classic'!
I just get a large space at the top which sometimes has adverts, so I have to scroll right down to the messages, which are then too squashed up. argh.
Wasn't keen on the new look, I thought the old was much clearer!

Squirdle · 30/01/2009 16:49

I NOT LIKE

And I can't fix it

BabyBaby123 · 30/01/2009 16:47

god, it's horrible - giving me really bad headache and painful eyes. I can't get it back to how it was

RedOnHerHead · 30/01/2009 16:37

its like when you go to tesco and you only want one thing - you know where it is, only you get there and they have moved it!
gggrrrrr

RedOnHerHead · 30/01/2009 16:34

is there a petition? there must be somewhere

Fimbo · 30/01/2009 16:32

I have logged in/out, customised, uncustomised and its still

RustyBear · 30/01/2009 16:30

Those of you who can't get a change to classic to save - have you tried logging in first. I don't mean just logging in to Talk but the My Mumsnet login where you put your email address and password in. I've just done that & now the changes 'stick'
I'm now off to see if I can change back as I actually prefer the new style.

Pinkranger · 30/01/2009 16:30

Just logged on - cant read bugger all! so now switching off - to much hard work for a Friday afternoon!

Fimbo · 30/01/2009 16:29

Cries over the good old days

lottiejenkins · 30/01/2009 16:22

I dont like it either and cant change...........i cant get the whole thread the edges are missing! I emailed MN HQ and they said to try the new one.........why did they have to fiddle with it??? It was fine as it was GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR

whomovedmychocolate · 30/01/2009 16:21

I generally like change. But this is all a bit 1997

controlfreaky, you'll get kicked onto a mouldy thread if you mention that word! Oops I did it too hehehehe

whomovedmychocolate · 30/01/2009 16:17

OY MUMSNET where's the ads gone? Looks like you've lost at least two ad spaces. Was that intentional or is it broken?

controlfreakythecontrolfreak · 30/01/2009 16:17

ok. time to fess up mnhq. have you decided that in this post moldie jaded world you want a fresh start.... all the moany / cynical / difficult non moldie faithfuls are getting you down and you'd like to start over with some fresh faced happening types??

IT'S HORRID.

IotasCat · 30/01/2009 16:10

Active convos is awful - a black list in small type on a white background. Within the threads it's ok, with blue bars separating the posts.. ( am using Firefox)

Whizzz · 30/01/2009 16:09

..oh & my 'Threads I'm Watching' have all gone too. GOod job that I'm not selling anything as that was the only way to keep track to see if anyone posted any replies
