Oh never mind it automatically changed back when i logged in again

Webmaster just "MASSACRED" the look of the site. It's LOOKS WORSE than a dog's breakfast or doo-doo. It's like the fonts are made so big, so that the really elderly can read it. JUST BECAUSE every other tom, **** & harry webmaster is doing similar changes to their sites, to "keep up with the joneses", it doesn't mean YOU sir webmaster HAVE to follow their awful lead!!!. It's like it's FORCED upon us - HERE, TAKE IT OR LEAVE (IT)!!! :thumbdown: :omg: 😮
Now, this site is no longer one of the nicest-looking sites on the web. :sad:
F*CK YOU, progress & technology.

Well, i take some of that back, as i found (partly thanks to Graeme) on my user profile page an item called "Options", and scrolled right down to the bottom, & selected "old style". But webmaster COULD easily have put a post telling us how to revert back to the old style.

There ARE however one or two things which are slightly better, but the overall look is TERRIBLE. I don't know how anyone would want to put up with a style like that - it looks like it's done by a 5 year old!.

I liked the simple site. I may just use it instead of this old one. I like the bigger text too haha but I do have bad eye sight so the brightness and bigger text is nice. I wonder why the new site was the one that we had to see first instead of them "letting you preview" a new one? Maybe we will all have better security now with a new website? Will wonders ever cease? lol

Yes, wonders did cease. Immediately after I wrote that, I went to find the new simple site and the button was gone. Perfect!

Aye, it does look different. But there’s an option that allowed you to change it back if go to your user profile page. There’s should be a wee drop down menu if you scroll to the bottom of the visitor messages.

Graemeeee I cannot find it 🙁

i just changed back to the old style now that you mentioned it but i want to change it back like back and forth. how do i do that? i like the SPW You are not alone part that's deleted..

I would like to have the option also, website "fluid" haha

So weird I was thinking about the "You are not Alone" subtitle a few days ago, before it went missing that is and I thought it should be more like"misery loves company" because I am so miserable when I post here 🙁

I like that it is missing from the Simple site lol :bigsmile:

Does this website look different to anyone else? Did SPW get a make over?

Yes, and I HATE the new style!! :thumbdown:

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for posting this, Graeme!!! :bowing::applause:

I was freaking out when I first came in! Luckily I came in this thread first, read your post and was able to change it back to the old way, straight away.
Much appreciated, Graeme. :thumbup:

I opened SPW today, and felt like I imagine I would if I were to walk into a McDonald's only to realize I am in a country without McDonald s and in fact just walked into a "MacDonnies".

Lol, brilliant! :bigsmile:

I have some alarms on my mobile phone to remind me of tv programs about to start soon, but they have finished, but i still leave the alarms there cause i like the feeling that somebody might be phoning me (which very very seldom happens). How sad is that? lol

This is... different.

Different strokes... for different folks.

Yes this big font reminds me of my mother's large phone lol. Seems more flashy than the later tho, just not homey like Im used to.

That button to change between old or new layout style should be at the very bottom of each thread. It seems to only appear if you are logged out though.

Can't see that pic.

With the old/usual looking forum, it's here:
Your Control Panel .. Settings & Options .. Edit Options .. Miscellaneous Options .. Forum Skin

I liked that 'You are not alone'. It's comforting and there's supposed to be the word 'username' for the other rectangular box at the top and there's no more of the connected sites that show social phobia Italy and Spain! :sad: There's also no more of the thanks or anything.

Yes, it's FAR from "homely". It's like a completely new, garish/amateur site.
It's like comparing TXTing (with all the shortcuts eg omg, fml, tmi) with writing an email, or speaking on the phone. I especially don't like the "SPW" - it's like a TXTing shortcut! I have used "spw" on occasion, but using it as a logo is taking it too far.

The active posts also don't get 'bold' when you're not logged in. I'd like that to be changed back too. It seems dead like that.

Why not log-in then, whenever you're on spw???

i like it when I'm logged in and when I'm not logged in for it to be back alive. And why shorten it to SPW. i changed it back to Social Phobia World - You are not alone old style- it's beautiful

Well i'm afraid you've got only one option - to stay logged in. It's as simple as that. You can't have your cake & eat it too.
