Not pleasant on the eyes. Please give us the option to revert back to the previous style.

I posted a comment earlier, but it seems to have disappeared completely in the editing process. Anyway, I'm sure that time will cure the shock of the new skin, but the site is incredibly slow and I cannot get any of the Forum drop down menus to show up like Thread Tools, Forum Tools, Search This Thread, and Search This Forum. Right now, I would say that it is mostly unusable in its current condition.

Using Chrome, if that helps.

And now, of course, my earlier post shows up. Something isn't right, folks. Hope you get a grip on it soon.

MyFlyerTalk, Edit Options, then scrolled down to Miscellaneous Options, and I think it was under Forum Skin. But looking now even that appears to have changed. So who knows what the heck is going on.

They appear to have removed the option just now. Which is probably for the best actually because it was severely broken; some pages (like the trending page) were just empty.

I somehow now have 'Mobile One' selected which is a lot better than this new thing. It also lacks those annoying sticky things.

It's there, but no matter what you select you get "Mobile One" once you save and leave Options.

Can we lose the underlining of EVERY SINGLE LINK on a page? It is very irritating.

This change is at best sub-optimal. At worst, horrid.

After the change my interface was in infinite scroll mode, despite I have opted out before. Went into the settings, where infinte scroll was disabled. But I also found a second "infinte scroll" setting which was enabled.
Is there a difference between the two options? One is with radion button, one is toggle, they are labled :

Disable Desktop Infinite Scroll

and

Disable Infinite Scroll

How do you get rid of infinite scroll AND that awful navigation header that blocks posts?

I've searched all over, and I already had infinite scroll turned off.
