The format of the pages has completely changed when I use Chrome. It looks like something a 6-year-old would design. I get the traditional look when using Edge. I get the traditional theme with Firefox. This new format is almost unusable.

This seems like you are getting the mobile skin. If you're on a desktop browser, see the wiki here, or post #3: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tech...ktop-view.html

If you're on a smartphone but still want the full desktop view, you may also need to toggle that setting in your browser (in Chrome on Android, 3 dots menu > Desktop site [ ] checkbox)

Is there any way to get the mobile back after switching to desktop? I switched to desktop mode while on Chrome on my iphone and cannot switch back,. The weird thing is that the desktop version is ONLY on the Air Canada/Aeroplan forum where I was when I tried it and all the others remain in mobile theme. Thanks!

If all else fails you can try adding ?styleid=22 to the URL in the location bar.

I gave the new arrangement a month, to see how it worked for me.

End conclusion: it has made FT less accessible, and a lot less fun. Travel & Dining is now one long, illogical list with no color or graphical differentiation between categories - back when I was training in webpage design, that was regarded as a cardinal sin. We were taught to make it easy for users to quickly find what they want, not force them to read/scroll through lists of identical colored text in the same font with no quick visual cues as to content.
