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

[LifeofBrienne]

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

[Mumsnut]

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.)

[LifeofBrienne]

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