So, it seems that the forum style just changed and looks all "Mobile-ified" on desktop now (using Linux / Firefox currently). This just happened in the last few hours it seems.
This is a terrible experience for desktop users. All kinds of information that was previously neatly displayed is now hidden behind cryptic icons, and/or has vanished completely, such as previews of who posted in a thread or forum recently, whether or not I'm logged in or have new messages in my inbox, etc. etc. etc.
I also don't see any options to add images, hyperlinks, etc. to my posts.
And these bubbly text boxes are quite annoying, and threads in general are just displayed in a much more ugly and difficult to read manner...
I'd like to both:
1) Recommend reverting to the old theme / UI as standard for Desktop users
and,
2) If possible, revert these changes on my end via some settings somewhere, provided those settings haven't been stripped away also...
If this is just a bug, because some developer somewhere didn't add "linux" or "firefox" to some check for Desktop users, and defaulted to mobile, I'd like to report it as a bug.
