Exclamation Will Mr. IT, or Mr. T for that matter, please take note...

Given the obvious popularity of the prior page layout, what is the plan to rectify the NON_SECURE nature of this format?

Thanks! From me!
I switched back to the 2015 version! If the new version was supposed to be better for phone users, it was NOT on my I phone 6.
The older version appeared exactly the same on my computer and phone. New version was worthless on my phone....

Any version on a smart phone is worthless to me because I don't do the smart phone bologna.

Not going to look back and see if anyone already posted an answer.



But I have posted an answer in the other many threads on this that were started before this thread ever started.

I joined this conversation mid stride, and I'm not aware of any other threads about it, but looking back through this one I don't see mention anywhere of how to make the change permanent.

Wonder if the feed back of the new format has anything to do with the "average age Poll"..

Yes, I was born before the computer age and don't waste too much time trying to wrap my head around it. A simple answer to what should be a simple question for you computer gurus is much easier. No?

My phone switches to new version every time, computer stays on old version I switched over to.

FormulaJones, I only have a smart phone because of my employer, if I had to pay for it, it ain't happen'n.

Once I selected Default, it has always booted up to the old format again. No screwing around each time. Default, bottom left corner.

I think if you use it, after a while it will be fine. I don't like "change" but nothing is like it was 5 years ago on the WEB.

I hear ya, those things are too expensive, plus the monthly fee is crazy. besides, I don't feel the need to take a computer with me when I travel. Just old school I guess.

Must be nice Tom. Mine only stays activated maybe every 5th or 6th time I log in, then it reverts back to the new format without warning. So I have to keep going to the bottom of the page and selecting an old format. Good for 5 or 6 log ins and the process starts over again.

My work phone and personal phone (iPhone 6S) are identical except for carriers (Verizon and T-Mobile respectively). On the work phone the site stays on where I set it (2015 version) but my personal phone automatically logs me out everyday and I have to select the old version daily as it defaults to the new version. This is extremely annoying.

Part of what may be helping me is that I log on to PY using the "History" tab of Firefox.
That way the log-on just repeats the same log-on that worked over and over each day.
Maybe try that deal.

You know what's funny. I use the new format on my laptop and am totally happy. But on my iPhone and iPad. I use the old one. Because half the page doesn't get cut off. The "mobile friendly" version chops off the quick menu at the bottom
