This "New" Mumsnet thing is a bagofshite. I am off. Bye.

[Goober]

I don't get it at all and am not too bothered really.
See ya.

I think I'm still on classic. How do I switch to new?

If you don't like the blue, then change try changing to mumsnet sober workplace, no colour at all.

korma, I do suspect that that might be the case. I can see that active convos is different, but once I'm 'in' a thread it looks exactly the same as yesterday, except in a slightly different colour. I think different browsers must be showing different things??

I've switched to 'Classic' but have huge white margins on both sides of the window. And the ads definitely look bigger,

Still on classic anyway. I've sorted my techy problems out now. Looks more 'modern'. All in the name of progress.

@hab

you see i sat here, going 'o'

'e'
'o'
'e'

'o'

It was 50/50

But it is active convos that is so horrible. Hard to read, and truncated thread titles. Why did it have to be changed again so soon after the last revamp?

Rationale is 'new users said old version hard to navigate' -- but that was rationale last time too, a year ago.

Changes in top and bottom menus good, but changes in main body of screen daft and pointless.

I am right about this so I don't care if everyone else disagrees with me.

Thready I hate that too but it is Ok in classic

Just go to classic for now

Nothing is truncated I promise

Oh shit sorry yes the titles are cut short

I have alreayd got used to it and didn't notice

How do you switch over to new?

Well I thought I had got as close to classic as I could. I've clicked on classic; I've gone into My MN and entered password, etc

???????

They said the thread title thing would be changed, or they're trying to!

i'm so confused...

it kinda looks the same but the white is so WHITE.

I had to press the change to MN classic button twice to work?? Maybe that will help??

For those who find the text too small - most browsers have options to increase text size don?t they? In Safari, the top tab with 'view' has a make text bigger button and hey presto it is easier to read

i want it wider again. boo hiss.

but apart from that and the WHITE, it's much the same innit?

I have been trying out the "mumsnet new" customize option and thought I would try switching back to classic just to see.. I admit, I went straight back and put it back to "new". For me, it is much easier to follow with the little pale blue dividing box thingies.
Yup, quite like it now

At first, the big white columns down the side did seem a little strange and was wishing for wider threads. Then I reduced my screen area and it looks a lot better. Also means I can have other windows open too, streamlining my desktop nicely. For those who find they dislike the whiteness of the borders, try manually resizing the page until they disappear and see if you like it too. Really simple and bit obvious perhaps, but makes it look tons better for me

Right, I just logged out and it seems I was still in classic mode because the logged out version was very different. Much like every other forum out there.
If you want to check if you're seeing new or classic, log out then click on active convos.

I'm not fussed really

I don't like the version I see when I logged out, but it's a look that will be familiar to people using other talkboards so I can see the logic. Logged in, and on classic, it's fine, although the threads I've looked at don't seem to be highlighted in Active Convos which is irritating. TBH, as long as I don't have to use those god awful pages, I'm fine with it.

at pages

you don't have to have pages random, just go to customize and you can set it not to have pages - I disliked the pages from the last change.
