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]

Aarggghhh
I can't read the thread. it's all too close and squashed
I feel SICK (seriously)
How do I space it

I cant get classic back either . This new layout is rubbish.

TeenyTinyToria · 30/01/2009 10:54

I want it to look longer - it's all squashed up. I liked having the text up against the left side of the screen, now it's all in a block in the middle, even in Classic.

mummylin2495 · 30/01/2009 10:51

and i dont like it either as if there is a long sentence i now have to scroll across the page to see the missing words.I want it back to how i had it before !

LilRedWG · 30/01/2009 10:49

Glad it's not just me.

IdrisTheDragon · 30/01/2009 10:48

Bother have clicked something else and now Active Conversations looks a bit better but the thread itself is squashed.

Is more spaced out now I think. But I don't like threads I'm on. Humpf

Threadworm · 30/01/2009 10:42

I've just checked the preview message tool and it doesn't let you see where your thread title will cut off in active convos -- so you can't even compose a title to minimise the bad effects of the cut off. That's reaaly annoying.

KayHarkerIsNotAnAuthority · 30/01/2009 10:40

No, I'm finding I have to scroll across the screen to read a longer sentence. Might come back in a week and see if it's been sorted.

Don't mind change just want it to be happy-making change, not 'oh, sod, that's beggered up my nice chilled out morning, I can't find anything'-making change.

Fimbo · 30/01/2009 10:39

I do wear glasses but I am really really struggling with the font but then maybe its a good thing as I spend far too much time on here. At the moment I don't think I could last more than about 20mins

catsmother · 30/01/2009 10:36

I agree with Kay about having to click 'See All' etc., but, the really big thing for me is that the text is far too small to read comfortably, and that in iteslf, also makes browsing extra difficult.

Please give us the option to go back to old style .... the option in Customise for "Classic" doesn't change the size of the text.

I surely can't be the only one who's finding it physically hard to read threads now (never mind font type, colour, different links etc)

littlelamb · 30/01/2009 10:36

Hate it

bluebump · 30/01/2009 10:36

I've had a fiddle with it and i've managed to get spaces between each post and no adverts to scroll through which is good but my watched threads have gone and my links don't go purple either. It's not too bad though actually, it just seems quite bright but I can't figure out if that's the changes or if i'm a bit bleary eyed this morning!

Threadworm · 30/01/2009 10:34

Agree Kay: I HATE that you can't see all of a thread title. So many longer thread titles are well composed, and that is all lost now.

That's my biggest grudge.

KayHarkerIsNotAnAuthority · 30/01/2009 10:32

Well, I don't like that you can't see the whole of a long thread title, you have to click 'see all' to see all topics, which is one of my favourite ways to browse about, and the link-I've-been-too doesn't change colour.

Oh for flarping bananas sake, I really don't need to be trying to adjust this morning, I just wanted a bit of a gentle browse and a chat to friends.

Not really very happy, Tech-hard-work acknowledged.

(and you could at least give us some more smileys)

You can change how many active convos there are etc on customize.
It's just the topic list/convo list look you can't seem to get back.

ruty · 30/01/2009 10:29

i remember getting 1/2 penny chews from local shop after school...

And I'm very unhappy that Active Convos only shows last 10 messages. Old site it used to be 60 and its how I find stuff.

ruty · 30/01/2009 10:27

i feel a bit bad for Tech now, especially after hearing about lack of sleep. but it was a bit of a shock. Hoping Classic will be revealed to me at some point
