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]

also i wouldnt mind a link to chat in the links at the bottom (which is a great idea BTW, and it going to make it so much easier to navigate our way around mn)

MNsQueenIsDrunk · 30/01/2009 15:47

supposedly I have chosen classic but its not classic at all
its not the same and I;'m not happy

Fimbo · 30/01/2009 15:47

I just want it the way it was yesterday. My eyes and head are throbbing, I have my parents staying with me, it's my 41st birthday today and I feel really old and now this.

I am not having a good day

KnowItAllMummy · 30/01/2009 15:48

also is there an option to make the threads turn a different colour when we have looked at them?
sorry for the hassle i just wanted to say whilst it was in my head, take your time getting back to me

KnowItAllMummy · 30/01/2009 15:49

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIMBO

Fimbo · 30/01/2009 15:50

Thank you very much KnowItAllMummy

KingCanuteIAm · 30/01/2009 15:55

But Justine Tech promised we didn't have to have it, he said we could stick with classic if we didn't like the new layout. He didn't say "you can have the classic option that is nothing like the current classic option"

I was only nice(ish) about the new layout because I thought that I didn't have to have it!

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 30/01/2009 15:57

But Justine, Classic doesn't make any difference at all. I'm not bothered about margins, etc - I just want roughly the same layout as yesterday and its 100% different.

Whizzz · 30/01/2009 16:00

oooo I hate this layout - horrid

jujumaman · 30/01/2009 16:01

Justine

As I said on another thread

Have you done this to move us all on from moldies? It is horrible - my biggest complaint being that in threads I'm on and last 15 minutes you can only see the last post - before you could see the last 20 or so and it gave you a feel for the thread and whether you wanted to join or not. Now I look at the list of titles and think "ho, hum can't be bothered to investigate further better do some work and earn a living." I think the board will slow down hugely if you keep it like this. Please put it right!

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 30/01/2009 16:02

I hate the layout - its not as user friendly as the old one.

I hate not been able to see all the different forums on one screen. I hate the fact that you can't see when the last post on a certain forum was.

Whizzz · 30/01/2009 16:02

can't get in to change stuff either as when I put my password in, an error message comes up

Don't like the 'new' classic version either - sorry!

The list of active convo is hard to read - seems very small font - also how do you see the whole title of a message?

Sorry - I know it's taken a lot of work but ................ no no no

PlumBumMum · 30/01/2009 16:05

In new or classic is there away of getting threads you've been on to be highlighted in active like they used to?

Whizzz · 30/01/2009 16:08

I need a magnifying glass for Active Convos....

RedOnHerHead · 30/01/2009 16:09

I just twittered in complaint!

Whizzz · 30/01/2009 16:09

..oh & my 'Threads I'm Watching' have all gone too. GOod job that I'm not selling anything as that was the only way to keep track to see if anyone posted any replies

IotasCat · 30/01/2009 16:10

Active convos is awful - a black list in small type on a white background. Within the threads it's ok, with blue bars separating the posts.. ( am using Firefox)

whomovedmychocolate · 30/01/2009 16:17

OY MUMSNET where's the ads gone? Looks like you've lost at least two ad spaces. Was that intentional or is it broken?

controlfreakythecontrolfreak · 30/01/2009 16:17

ok. time to fess up mnhq. have you decided that in this post moldie jaded world you want a fresh start.... all the moany / cynical / difficult non moldie faithfuls are getting you down and you'd like to start over with some fresh faced happening types??

IT'S HORRID.

whomovedmychocolate · 30/01/2009 16:21

I generally like change. But this is all a bit 1997

controlfreaky, you'll get kicked onto a mouldy thread if you mention that word! Oops I did it too hehehehe

lottiejenkins · 30/01/2009 16:22

I dont like it either and cant change...........i cant get the whole thread the edges are missing! I emailed MN HQ and they said to try the new one.........why did they have to fiddle with it??? It was fine as it was GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Fimbo · 30/01/2009 16:29

Cries over the good old days
