I can't add any more tracked prices.
Says can't have more than 100.
Well I don't have 100 active ones. The only way it could be over 100 is if it's including "Past Tracked prices" in the 100 count.
Anyone else having this problem?
I never had to delete past tracked prices in the old version of GF.

Old version of GF gone?
I was doing a search on GF earlier today and refreshed my page and it went over to the new version. Doesn't seem like the old one is accessible anymore (via the google.com/flights?f=0 link).
I guess it's time to say our farewells...

If anyone from the Google team is lurking here PLEASE reinstate the f=0 backdoor. The new interface is less responsive (as in, the actual UI elements are slower to respond to and reflect changes in settings/options/filters) and unwieldy compared to the old one in a way that makes it cumbersome to use especially when you are trying to compare multiple options.

On my smartphone it works when connected to the wifi at home, but not when using mobile data.
Cannot get the old UI from work.
Seems like they're doing a slow/staged rollout, maybe.

Further experimentation from work 
flights.google.com/?f=0 redirects but gets the old UI ^
(www.)google.com/flights?f=0 gets the new UI
Incognito mode does not affect the above results.

I was dismayed to see that the ?f=0 trick was no longer working this morning, on several different devices.
Pleased to see that it works using Incognito, which I hadn't thought of until visiting this page, but I can't imagine that will last long.
I'm extremely disappointed in this new interface. I also find it quite surprising, coming from Google. They have generally emphasized simple but very functional design. This new interface is completely at odds with that. It's not at all simple, heavy on graphics and difficult to use. Nor can I see it being particularly useful to the non-FF crowd, because the interface is so clunky and it's so hard to figure out what's what.
I'm baffled as to why they are forcing this garbage down our throats given its complete inconsistency with Google's general design philosophy (in addition to the fact that it's just plain crappy).

) So it does at least appear to be part of a larger scale unification of look and feel (albeit a crappy one, also, #getoffmylawn 
)
