I CAN NOT GET MN CLASSIC BACK AND I WANT IT

243 replies

hereidrawtheline · 30/01/2009 08:30

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]

moondog · 30/01/2009 08:41

Why do people need to arse aronud with stuff that aint broke?
Don' like it.

frogs · 30/01/2009 08:51

I have the same. Don't like it at all, the print is all squashed up with the coloured bars. It's giving me a headache, I think I might just go away for a while until this madness has passed.

mysterymoniker · 30/01/2009 08:52

if you switch to 'new' it all spreads out, beautifully, try it

littleboyblue · 30/01/2009 08:54

I don't like this new layout either and no matter what I click on and save in customise, it isn't changing anything! I am not a happy bunny! And why at the bottom of customise where the colour scheme bit is, is all the writing in another language?

Give me back my classic layout.....Please

IdrisTheDragon · 30/01/2009 08:56

Waaaah I don't like it. And it doesn't work with firefox - it is all squished up. Waaaah

UpSinceCrapOClock · 30/01/2009 08:57

mysterymoniker - how do you switch to 'new'? I can't find where to click [techno numpty emoticon]

UpSinceCrapOClock · 30/01/2009 08:58

I'm also on firefox - took me a few mins to work out that I needed to scroll down for a while past the tiny adverts on the left / massive empty space on the right to get to the discussions. Time for coffee I think...

hereidrawtheline · 30/01/2009 08:59

I was intrigued by the Latin! Well I am being kicked by my upside down son so there goes my calm breakfast.

There is a CUSTOMIZE link next to TOPICS at the top of this page

Mumfie68 · 30/01/2009 09:00

Add me to the list of new Mumsnet haters - it's too early in the morning for such vicious changes, I haven't even had my first packet of choccie digestives yet!

Mumfie68 · 30/01/2009 09:01

And MP, CUSTOMISE does not work!!!

morningpaper · 30/01/2009 09:02

oooh bad luck

what happens? I had to click the COLOUR SCHEMES part which confused me but that changed it once I clicked on SAVE

Almeida · 30/01/2009 09:02

The latin is curious - is it from a virus on the mnset server?

UpSinceCrapOClock · 30/01/2009 09:02

Have just found it thanks MP! Yes at least it's not all squashed up and weirdly spaced now. And at least there are no bloody tickers

DumbledoresGirl · 30/01/2009 09:03

Mine is ok but then it is still on MN classic and always has been. The only major difference I can see is that when you go to active conversations, the subject eg "chat" or "site stuff" is in small print - too small! But then the thread title is written in normal size print. Anyone know if that can be changed?

hereidrawtheline · 30/01/2009 09:03

oh it is horrific

if I want a set up like this I shall post on the wonky degu forum I found.

sorry I hate to cry murder every time there is change but this is just wrong.

I remember when they changed the format of the Times last year. Gah. I was reaching for the grab rail each morning, feeling really quite dizzy ....... and after about a fortnight I managed to steady myself.

I quite like the new Mumsnet - it feels less cluttered.

mysterymoniker · 30/01/2009 09:10

yes, I changed the colour scheme and it all fell into place

we'll get used to it - chin up

mysterymoniker · 30/01/2009 09:11

what latin? do you mean lorem ipsum?

UpSinceCrapOClock · 30/01/2009 09:11

Mine was small print and squashed up in MN classic but looks much better in MN new. So far, no sign of pages...

ruty · 30/01/2009 09:12

this is bloody awful, looks like a chat room from 1998 or something. Why why why?
