Why is my DU display different all of a sudden?

I had it on Skinner mode, but now it's updated itself to the "new" DU mode and won't let me revert back.

I'm strongly NOT a fan of this setting, and it actively drives me off DU most days.

Some Internet For Seniors thing where everything's in large print with big colored blocks as links and things.

Which . . . ok, I get it.

But yeah. I hate it, too. It feels like my retinas are getting ECT.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
