not that different in "skinner mode". Hate to see you leave for what might be a technical issue.

Is your concern that you want your posts removed that you made over the last 13 years? One way is to go back and delete individual post, but that would take time.
I guess you could get yourself banned but that seems like a lot.
I also did not adapt well to some DU4 changes though I appreciate all the good changes. I made the change to Skinner mode in settings and it suits me just fine. It looks like DU3 pretty much. I turned off the flashing notification.

I don’t think I’ve heard of a case where peoples’ accounts were deleted, unless they were tombstoned.
Good luck!

That’s really worth it for me. I also like Skinner mode for the familiar visuals.

The ads will disappear. Then switch to Skinner Mode; Select "My Stuff" then go to "Account Settings." There you'll find the tab for Skinner Mode which is visually similar to DU3.

You've posted nearly 4,000 times so you obviously have something to say.

Or you can just go away. No need for anyone to delete anything.

about donating any amount to become a Star member - that will get rid of the ads, and then you can switch to Skinner mode, which looks much more like DU3 though it is still harder to navigate than DU3. Many of DU4's changes were made to help those using phones here.

EarlG is still making changes, as he learns what problems people are running into. Please don't give up yet.

And just ignore anyone who's mocking you for having problems with DU4. They should be more understanding.

From your profile, it looks like you've been most active recently in the Cooking & Baking forum. You can subscribe to that, if you haven't already, so that link will show up in the left column to make reaching that forum easier.
