I liked previous format. Colors were seemingly easier to view. Arrangements need getting use too.It feels less welcoming.

I can't read half the stuff, it's in black and white and some of the words are almost camouflage and hard to see. It's giving me a headache.

I prefer the old format/look.

This new look it awful, too bright and cheap looking.

Please change it back!

As others have said, the color balance isn't great. How long did it take to find the Reply button? But it is manageable for whatever reason it was done.

You can change it back.



Look at lower left of page.
Has a drop down menu, change to 'PY Online 2015'
(or any of the other choices, but 2015 best)

I've kept the new format on my iPhone but went to the blue on my laptop as it appeals to me more than the 2015 version, the best of both worlds.

A poll might be helpful.

WOW thanks John!!! I asked that question 3 pages back and never got a response. Many thanks....Soooooo much better now, it doesn't look like 1955 anymore staring at a black and white TV screen.

Everyone needs to thank 400 Lemans as it was his Post #4 on this thread, who actually told us what to do to go back to change back to defaut.

John Wallace just passed along previous information from 400 Lemans so you did not have to read 5 pages of the thread.

Default here. The new isn't as friendly.

Don't care too much about the changed appearance but don't like the functional changes to the interface.

There is no longer a way to get back to the forum index from the bottom of a post page. You have to scroll back up to the top of the page through everything you've already read to find the link to the forum index. That's just dumb.

ETA: The forum jump option is gone now too. So when I'm done reading the street forum and want to go check out the parts for sale forum I have to jump through a bunch more hoops.

Won't be using the new format unless this is fixed.

On an Android phone.

Wow, at work looking at the new format in Firefox vs IE, it looks completely different, my comment about the Reply button doesn't apply in Firefox, plenty of contrast. Wonder about Chrome?

i think the new format works better on larger monitors, as things are rather 'spaced out' in the new format. i'm on 27" and 32" monitors. i like the cleanliness of the new layout and i'm using 2017. nice to have options, though.

I have a pair of 27" monitors and I still preferred the old look as easier for me to navigate to familiar spots.

One thing that's a bit concerning is that, when I toggle over to the 2015 screen, the connection is not secure - meaning my password might be skimmed.

Forums IT guy, can you comment on this??
