Corrected and switched over. It seemed to be working on my ipad. Ha…took me a few minutes to figure out how to get back.
It does look more like the old DU but honestly, for me, all the white hurts my eyes.

Please stick around, we need you here.

Did Skinner mode just stop working for anyone else? It suddenly is in Default mode, not Skinner mode. UPDATE - fixed [View all] highplainsdem Nov 2023 OP

I am using Skinner mode (on my Kindle). It is working. tblue37 Nov 2023 #1

I'm on my Fire tablet now and do have Skinner mode here. But not on highplainsdem Nov 2023 #5

I'm using my desktop computer and Skinner mode is working fine. CaliforniaPeggy Nov 2023 #2

Thank you! I just checked to see if it somehow got turned off. DU suddenly looks very foreign to me. Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #3

Yeah, it was an instant switch. But on my tablet I still have Skinner mode, though highplainsdem Nov 2023 #6

I'm on my laptop - and all of a sudden everything started looking very different. Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #7

Mine is still working Glamrock Nov 2023 #4

About ten minutes ago... 2naSalit Nov 2023 #8

I finally restarted my laptop, but when I came back everything was still weird. Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #13

Same here. highplainsdem Nov 2023 #14

I'm back using my Chromebook - DU4 is too hard to use on my tablet - and even after rebooting, I still highplainsdem Nov 2023 #10

I experienced that using one browser, but not others. Eugene Nov 2023 #11

Well, I hope this goes away soon. DU4's Default mode lets me see almost nothing of the board compared to Skinner highplainsdem Nov 2023 #12

Yes, that's what it looks like to me now, too. I'm disoriented. Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #15

Me, too. highplainsdem Nov 2023 #16

It hurts my eyes now. That's what my friend who is also on DU said when we first switched. Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #18

DU4 definitely seems to cause more eyestrain than DU3. highplainsdem Nov 2023 #22

I've got all these big things highlighted and blinking at me, it wasn't that way in Skinner Mode earlier Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #23

My understanding is that night mode doesn't work on DU3. sheshe2 Nov 2023 #17

What the problem is, which is affecting me as well, is that Skinner Mode suddenly went away. Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #19

Got it, thanks. sheshe2 Nov 2023 #20

Do you mean Skinner mode, sheshe? Since it looks a bit like DU3, but isn't. You're right that there is no highplainsdem Nov 2023 #21

I just tried to switch to take a look see. sheshe2 Nov 2023 #24

Sheshe, I'm guessing you're using large fonts, and with that setting you can't use Skinner mode. highplainsdem Nov 2023 #27

Yep, I was. sheshe2 Nov 2023 #29

I'm still seeing Default mode on my Chromebook this morning. :( Haven't checked the tablet yet, but highplainsdem Nov 2023 #31

Maybe check to make sure you didn't get signed out? n/t jxla Nov 2023 #25

That was actually my first thought when I saw Skinner mode had changed to Default. But I'm not signed out, and highplainsdem Nov 2023 #26

My friend who had the same problem said he signed out then signed back in and that worked, but it didn't work for me Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #30

Try clearing recent cookies/cache/history in your browser. I just did after seeing the reply from Eugene here highplainsdem Nov 2023 #32

Working for me mahina Nov 2023 #28

This is almost certainly related to the other issues we've had with CSS files not loading EarlG Nov 2023 #33

Thanks! I was just going to edit my OP with an update about clearing RECENT cache/history, back to highplainsdem Nov 2023 #34

I added a pinned thread with the workaround (nt) EarlG Nov 2023 #35

Thanks! Just recced that and posted a reply mentioning it might be necessary to delete only recent history, cookies, highplainsdem Nov 2023 #36
