    In simple terms if its possible to return to the old 'Skin' do so, it looks like a mobile simple view and is terrible for desktop users.

    Notifications Problem (possibly also messages)


    The notifications that I had set previously are working OK, and I can access them through the Bell icon or through my profile, but how do I know there are new notifications that I need to look at? On the old forum, if the icon had a little figure "2" on it, this meant I had received 2 new notifications that I needed to look at. On opening notifications the "2" would then disappear. Without something like this you have to keep opening notifications to see if you have received any. Please can this be investigated - and I am guessing the same applies to the messages "envelope" icon.

    Yes notifications seems to be all confused at the moment. Sometimes I get the little red and white number on my bell - sometimes I don't - then it says there are new notifications but when I go - they're ones I've already read - there's a 'mark all read' at the bottom of the notifications box, but it doesn't seem to work.

    Just to add to the complaints :)

    I use a pc, and the amount of visible content seems to have reduced to that of a mobile 'phone screen but the text is far too large.

    The contrast is wrong, and the pages are unpleasant to read.

    The "new posts" icon is difficult to see.

    The previous skin was orders of magnitude more pleasant and usable.

    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    Late to the party,
    But upon inspection, I hear the words of caius petronius ringing in my ears.
    Dear oh dear.

    It's a shame nobody from MSE has made any acknowledgement of these comments...

    Working on a tablet now the headder bar at the top. Thats better.
    Except that as I scroll up the blue remains but the words vanish.

    That darn red blob of a plus sign follows me round. At the bottom when reading, at the top when typing but always covering something. It's on the right so I'm catching it with all the extra scrolling that's necessary now because like many I'm right handed........

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
