I did and now, can't find a way of reverting to the old forum format
I am stuck with a virtually unusable format - that doesn't even display properly on a mobile
I think that MSE had better scrap the new version and return to the old tried and tested one..

    Somehow mine went to it without me clicking anything. I found it to be just usable enough to be able to select the old format.

    It seemed to me that the css wasn't being processed at all on chrome. Maybe it's better on other browsers.

    I made the same mistake and had the devil of a job getting back.

    It's crap in IE11 as well, not just Chrome.

    I had a huge amount of trouble getting back to the old format on my mobile. It wasn't until I flipped the phone that it gave me the user cp setting

    How strange - I thought the site was for folks who liked saving money.

    ===

    Seems to be working now for me on chrome - perhaps I'd somehow fallen into a halfway house as I'd done nothing I'm aware of to make it switch.
    Looks a bit bland but I'll give it a whirl unless it's so buggy I get fed up.

    Looks like it's naffed up my avatar but about time I sorted out a new one anyway.
