New display format for boards - who knew you could turn it off?

Just discovered this fact in another thread! Please @MNHQ as you ‘roll out’ this new format across different boards can you do a big publicity campaign to let people know that it’s optional?
The new format is terrible for scrolling on my phone. In the old format I can see four post titles at once on my screen. In the new format the same space fits in just half of a preview for a single post if it has a picture.
So I have to scroll up to eight times as much to get the information I want!

@LifeofBrienne , can u change to this new format? If so, how?xx

So it’s under Settings and it’s currently on by default but only a thing for some boards so far - Gardening and Style & Beauty are the two I’ve noticed. MN apparently ‘rolling it out’.

Choose 'compact view' I think

Nope. Please let us know, OP

(I must say, I just don't bother with style and beauty any more. Too offputting under the new format.)

Yes, it’s under Settings, then ‘More Settings’ and you need to choose Compact View.
So much better!
