This new arrangement — without an option to revert back — is pretty bad for me.

After conferring with the Community Director, we will move this thread to the Technical Support forum and let it co-exist with the existing thread until IBJoel can catch up withboth threads and it seems appropriate todo so.

Also, why has "Original Poster" changed to "Thread Starter"?
OP is standard across the internet and I can see no reason at all to change it. Are we going to be using TS now instead?

I have "Never go to Mobile Skin" set. Every window of FT I just opened came up in "Mobile One" format.

That was one of my first thoughts too. There's so much dead/wasted white space in this iteration too, and infinite scroll (one of the banes of my internet user existence) is back automatically. 
Off to go undo it.
Please hit the undo button on this "upgrade" IB. It's like when my IT guy at work "upgraded" me to Windows 10 from 7.

It is not showing the threads you are subscribed to. It is showing all the recent threads (last updated recently) that you have posted at least 1 post in it. I turn off auto subscribe so I don't subscribe to any thread when I post. That thread could be a thread that you posted a post a year ago but someone added a post just now and it will show up on the top of "My recent post".
So the correct name for that button should be "Recent thread that I have at least 1 post in it"
In order to really see "YOUR recent thread", it needs to resort that list by the date of your last post in those threads.

That "Thread Starter" thing has got to go. It'll cause confusion for years if it's allowed to continue, as everyone here uses "OP" all the time.
What is the point of having selectable skins and then forcing a new one on us unasked? That's the kind of user-hostile BS that you get from Facebook. Disgraceful that FT is moving that way.

Can we please have an option to revert back to the classic style. Let users choose what they want and which decade they want to pretend to be living in.

The quick reply box is WAY to big; and I can't shrink it enough to a more reasonable size.
