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]

It doesn't look good on Google Chrome either...

rofl at the wonky degu forum

hereidrawtheline · 30/01/2009 09:16

I use google chrome maybe that is another reason I hate it so much.

Oh God, I hate it.
It's so hard to read
I can't customize the bloody thing and everything is all squashed up.

Even with Classic Mumsnet, "threads I'm on" is way too cluttered and muddled. I can't pinpoint what is different about it (apart from the subject titles being too small) but it not nice.

And as for converting to New Mumsnet, no way!

DumbledoresGirl · 30/01/2009 09:24

And I don't like those stickies at the top of active convos. I did away with stickies years ago. Can I get rid of them again?

Kayteee · 30/01/2009 09:24

Heeelp! My "I'm watching" comes up blank!
Waaaahhhh!!

Stretch · 30/01/2009 09:25

Can't find my threads I'm on either!!

Stretch · 30/01/2009 09:25

Or threads I'm watching!

Kayteee · 30/01/2009 09:26

I'd love to hear all these posts with sound, lol

wontbepreggersagain · 30/01/2009 09:26

i'm horribly lost! using google chrome and its hideous (sorry tech, i know you put a lot of work in but where's the button for us die-hard old stylers who can't face change?)

IdrisTheDragon · 30/01/2009 09:26

The Latin bit was always there - it's standard to have it for testing print I think.

staryeyed · 30/01/2009 09:27

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I dont like it and I want the old style back! [stamps feet and folds arms with v sulky face]

Boco · 30/01/2009 09:27

Hmm, classic doesn't work at all with Firefox now does it. Spacing all wrong and that ad at the top you have to scroll past really annoying.

I've changed to 'new', but there are still some little glitches. Like if you choose to be able to hide threads, instead of putting a 'hide' at the end of each title, it gives me rows and rows of the word 'hide' at the top of the page.

slug · 30/01/2009 09:28

actually I quite like the new look

thisisyesterday · 30/01/2009 09:28

i want it back too. just came on this morning and it's HIDEOUS!!!!

am using firefox, and i can't work out how to change it back to normal.

i really, really don't like this.

am struggling to read threads because all the writing is so close to gether with those horrid bands between it all.
and this font is nasty too!!!

ruty · 30/01/2009 09:30

when you look at 'threads i'm on it is so cluttered and squashed together, it is hard to differentiate between threads, why would anyone do this deliberately? One of the reasons i first came to MN was its clear and well spaced looking forum, now it looks like every other chatroom. It is really crap.

thisisyesterday · 30/01/2009 09:32

where is the customise bit??? i really cannot use this, it's giving me a headache

Stretch · 30/01/2009 09:32

Seriously, where's my threads I'm watching??

nettie · 30/01/2009 09:32

Argggggh, don't like it at at all everythings squashed, I like my routine, don't like change, can't think HEELLLLLLP
Somebody please quickly workout how to turn MN back to normal

Niftyblue · 30/01/2009 09:33

BRING THE OLD ONE BACK

I don`t like this

Boco · 30/01/2009 09:33

Ooh, that's better.

If you just click refresh while in mn classic, it spaces it all out again!

thisisyesterday · 30/01/2009 09:34

gah, i have set it to classic and it still looks exactly the same.

am not a happy bunny.

thisisyesterday · 30/01/2009 09:34

ohh hang on. well, it's better. but it still isn't great.
still got stupid font in add a message box.

still got big fat white space down each side of the page. but it's marginally better than it was

nettie · 30/01/2009 09:39

F5 makes slight improvement, but not enough. Why do people insist on fixing things that aren't broken!
