To use the Skinner mode any more unless we are a star member? I like that mode better

(23,045 posts)Skinner Mode and Night Mode are bonus modes. We need to place ads on our pages for non-Star Members in order to fund DU, and the Default Mode layout is the only one set up to operate with ad placements, so that's the only one you can use if you're not a Star Member.

(23,045 posts)Is this problem occurring in Night Mode or another mode?
When you say "the title lines of comments are compressed" what do you mean specifically?
Which pages is this happening on -- forums, threads, etc.?
What kind of device are you using -- phone, tablet, Chromebook, etc.?
What browser -- probably Chrome?
Finally has this been happening the entire time, or did it just start happening?

fixed now, thank you!
I was unable to use Skinner mode today and just wondered if I did something wrong in the settings. I liked it much better than this mode and was sorry to see it had disappeared. 🙂
