I agree with the above sentiments.
Some improvements to satisfy the majority are always welcome, but in my experience with forum software nothing is totally satisfactory. Every program needs tweaks and some of it is hard to tweak.
I like the colour contrasts of the old software and I really don't like the bright white open areas bewteen words in the new layout. It makes it too hard to glance and distinguish what words on the left match up with what words on the right. At least it needs grid lines and some subtle contrast background

PPrune is very useful to non Pilots too - the level of expertise shown by the professional contributors is far and away better than that provided by the main media.
PPRUNE has become extreamly difficult to use as of late; either to view or the post to. We were told a few months back that the access probs were of a temporary nature This is not the case - Access and navigation on the site is now poor and I'm using it less often because of this situation. As per first para PPRUNE serves a very useful purpose as a resource to informed technical opinion for the non techie as well as the profesional pilot. A sad loss if it folds.

CTRL F5 fixed it for me. Now I want to know what changed that I had to use that function to restore the way the forum looks. Jetset Lady, can you tell us what CTRL F5 actually does?

In internet explorer, F5 will reload the page using a locally cached version if avaliable, Ctrl + F5 will reload the page ignoring the local cache, therefore you'll get a fresh copy if you like.
Ctrl + r in firefox will do the same.

This is aweful, change back to the old tried and tested format everyone was used to!
Agree wholeheartedly. Wrap arounds impossible. Something seriously amiss with current web pages. Gremlins in the system.

I love the Ctrl-F5 fix suggested by one wag 
- that one has only been around since ... oh IE2 ? As a fix it is of course about one step short of the I/O switch which also generally makes some kind of difference 
Seriously, you bleaters, did you not realise you were just looking at the result of some unintended maintenance glitch (self-evidently now fixed)?
And you were still trying to fly PPRuNe in that configuration?? You silly billies!

I think what happened is that the style sheet had problems, so everyone got the basic style instead. On Firefox you can simulate it with view->Page style->No Style. I've seen it happen on other sites before where for some reason the style sheet didn't load.
