How to get back the old interface?

[EricTh]

I find the new forum interface and format difficult to view and to use.

Is there any way to get back the old interface before this change a few days ago?

I doubt it, unless you're a time-traveller....

At Tesco, turn right and next round-about, exit left.

i agree with you

i don't think going back is possible

the best option is to wait the next ''up date'' as it seems a major change

is coming every 3 months or so. Not for the better imo but at least it keeps us busy

trying to adapt , and just when we start to be used to the new version

boum, a new one comes out of the blue lol

Damn i miss the good old days when there were no more than 2 or 3 big changes

in the world every century, now it's on a weekly basis, maybe i am too old but it's

really anonying to say the least

Question is why did they change it all? Also why did they need to take the seerver out of service to do it?

There was a server crash and presumably lots of data loss. They should have a banner at the top of every page explaining this. We need to wait until they can restore the site to where it was.

You never just have a single server. It is always duplicated so a crash is not a good reason. If that was the reason then they need to start looking at the network as a network and not something you may string together in your home.

With a dual setup you upgrade one server that is offline and when that is tested and ok you put that online and upgrade the other server.

the ''official'' reason is an external ddos attack

my bet is a not so good\underpaid tech team

like every Thai having a car accident is never as fault 

it's always a brake failure or something like that

I would agree with you. A DDOS attack should affect the server online not the standbye one. Also I would assume they would be running with VMware as virtual machines and if Linux is used a DDOS is extremely unlikely to occur

i want two blondes and a Ferrari but that is not going to happen either.

The sheer amount of white space around every message makes scrolling a real PITA, pretty much 1 post per screen space.

I actually find this new theme easier to read.

Use Ctrl-<minus key> to shrink the font size.

[CharlieH]

Yes, you are right, and my apologies, it must be a Mod view.

I have removed the posts so as not to mislead/confuse anyone reading.

The font size doesn't affect the formatting, it will just make the text smaller with the same proportionate amount of white space on each post.
