If you prefer the old look, go to My Stuff > Account Settings and scroll down to the Visual appearance section.

Select "Skinner Mode" and click the "Save all settings" button.

This mode retains the navigation structure of the new site but looks like the old version.

If you need help finding anything, let me know. Also, if you're missing stuff from the old version, we are still working to tweak and improve the new layout now that we can see how it's all working with a full visitor load. More to come.

Skinner Mode looks quite a bit like DU3, but doesn't work as well. I wish it did, but no matter which mode highplainsdem Oct 2023 #5

And how are people supposed to know that? At least put those instructions on the same line as Culture Forums. highplainsdem Oct 2023 #7
