To be in classic view go to Tapatalk nothing’s changed there and looks the same.

if there is a way that I can buy my way to ad free status please provide me the instructions how to do it and I'll happily pay for it

 

[mcgowaw]

ok sfc...went there. and still nothing about getting back to a view that's usable and friendly and 'classic'.
2 pages to tell me there's nothing you mods know how to do to change it to give us different interfaces, which software of this caliber must certainly offer.
don't roll out new software until you know what's in it.

I am pretty sure this is it.
I do not believe there will be "g'ol" option.
I wish there was, but does not look like it.
Pretty much, all of your or similar concerns were already brought up.

Us Mods have no knowledge of, nor control over, any updates to the forum so we are all in the same learning mode. Best we can do is tell the site admins what we think and request edits.

The Mods and Admins are also chatting about some of these things, so more info may post up from the overall site admins on requests and options. I'll suggest they post up some kind of response to let members know of the options about the classic view (there is a post in the area I linked to about it, but maybe they can address member comments about other sites having a classic mode)

This ain't better than before.

This new software sux. Lots of the Canuck-corporate-owned automotive forums have moved to it, and it's crap.

i've read through the "we are now live" XenForo thread and looking at the new features, it's telling that the software is targeting mobile users and re-prioritizing the way ads are showing up. the by product for desktop users is tons of wasted space and dubious advertisement as thread replies. as it is, this is by far the most unpleasant forum layout i've ever used view by a monitor. hopefully other verticalscope sites don't follow suit.

• A consistent experience across all devices
• Speed and reliability are key
• Easy to use and navigate
• New Homepage Experience

the dark mode seems to be a nice feature if you aren't already running dark reader extension.

 

[norm356]

what is "dark mode"?

 

[Silver Surfer1]

The 3 Dot menu in the upper right corner, bottom selection. Dark mode at least gives you line breaks so the eye can tell easier what post you are reading.

I can't read light grey on white forum. So I am now confined to the grim black vstness

Chrome's Dark Reader Extension makes the new interface considerably less painful FYI!

[mcgowaw]

thanks tedmech. i guess besides fixing our own cars, we now need to fix the website owner's oversights...

[mcgowaw]

bmr or sfc, can one of you admins please post a sticky with tedmech's fix in it? it's just for chrome but there's probably an equivalent fix for other browsers.

and, since i don't seem to be able to edit my initial post, can you add this information there also so ppl don't have to sludge through 2 pages of responses to find his fix? thanks much.
tony

 

[BMR]

Done - your first post edited.

 

[Old Roscoe]

Reminds me of my power company's new and improved bucket of crap latest upgrade. They improved it so much it's almost worthless now. I'm thinking maybe this is due to the number of smart phone users? Easier to read while walking through walmart? Whatever, if I don't like it I don't have to use it, and so far I'm not liking it. This could be the last time I use it.

 

[paulbot]

This extension? Dark Reader Not a fan, tried it.

 

[mcgowaw]

not a perfect solution but if anyone comes up with a better one, we're all ears..
