So why no nice button on the top that the only thing it links is your posts and...

[Scottie Mom]

...it turns yellow when someone replies? Why make using the DU far, far more confusing?

Why all the scattering, combining and uncombining?

This is really awful to the nth degree. I thought I would not like the new set up. I find it beyond dislike. It's horrible.

Not sure if I will continue here or not. I really, really dislike this new version.

1. Huh, I love it.

To me it’s a far superior setup.

[TheProle]

25. Same

[Richard D]

2. I dislike it too.

I will give it some days to try to get used to it. I liked the old design. It was logical and easy to use. I have yet to see the logic in the new design.

[Scottie Mom]

3. Yep, it's awful, IMO

It's beyond horrible. I feel like an orphan with no place to go.

[Diamond_Dog]

4. I dislike the new DU Mail setup

The boxes on the left. Aaarrgghh

I have to turn my tablet sideways to even see them. Horrible.

5. doesn't seem like that big of a deal

I'm sure we'll get used to it. But as for the posts button, is there anything that alerts you when someone replies to you as that yellow button did?

[Scottie Mom]

10. So why put the post alert button...

...inside another button?

That makes no sense.

[jcgoldie]

12. I dunno but your reply answered my question!

The my stuff thing flashes. Good enough for me, I ain't scared to click one more button!

[Princess Turandot]

11. Click on 'My Stuff'. Then go to Account Settings...

There's a category called "My Stuff" notifications where you can select a style for that function, as well as turning it on or off.

[Scottie Mom]

13. I know and that is not the issue.

I cannot figure out why the post reply button is inside of another button. That makes no sense.

16. Thatonly works for star members n/t

[slumcamper]

6. All I can say at the moment is

[Spazito]

7. You can go back to a version closer to the old one...

Click on My Stuff, click on Account Settings, scroll down to Visual Appearance, click on Skinner Mode and then be sure to scroll all the way down to Save all Settings and click on that. It's not identical but is much more like the old look.

[Scottie Mom]

14. I did that and it is nothing like yesterday's look. EOM

[unc70]

23. Already in Skinner mode

I have lots of perception problems with excessive random white space and with very clunky buttons and button boxes.

[Spazito]

26. I think that's probably partly why the Admins offer....

us the choice to choose the new format or something closer to the old one. I can see why the new look doesn't work for some for sure.

[Nittersing]

8. Click on "MY STUFF"

Then click on "Account Settings"

Scroll down to "Visual" something or other... and pick "Skinner Mode"

8. This community is important to me. So, I'll learn the new format.

DU is a daily "must read" for me.

[Scottie Mom]

17. Yep, DU was the first thing I read in the morning and the last thing I read at night.

I will miss it. No sure I want to continue with the current version. It totally sucks.

[herding cats]

15. Here's how to go back to Skinner Mode.

Pro Tip #1: Prefer the old look? Try My Stuft * Account Settings

18. How do you sign in if you get disconnected?

With the old format, my phone sometimes disvonnected me and I had to sign back in, even though I selected "remain signed in."

So if it happens on this format, where do you sign in? The sign in option used to be at the top of the screen on my phone.

[Spazito]

19. The sign in button is on the right hand side when you load DU...

You don't see it if you are already signed in. If you want to sign out, click on MY STUFF and you will see a button labeled SIGN OUT, it's the last one on the bottom row.

[wnylib]

22. Thanks.

[malaise]

20. I love it

Getting accustomed to new things takes time. Just play with it for a while. If lil old me can get it and enjoy it, you’ll be fine👍
Take that to the bank.

[Emile]

21. I love it!

[Tree Lady]

24. I am laughing at the replies

Because most of us are older here and don't like change. LOL.

I liked the way it was but will eventually memorize where everything is because this is my political home and educational forum with people of a like mind.

27. On a smartphone...

... It's quite nice.

28. 'Not sure if I will continue here or not.'

Sad, just sad.
