1384758 - Please Allow Visitors To MDN To Switch To The Old Layout

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Design, enhancement)

Description

[wowzeryest]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
I am requesting that you give users an option in the button bar at the top of the screen to switch back to the old layout on the MDN website so that MDN can be a more efficient developer resource.

URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/


What problems would this solve?
===============================
This will allow MDN users to better utilize the awesome MDN documentation website. This will also attract more new users to the website.

Who would use this?
===================
People like myself who found the old layout easier to use (more filling up the page), better smaller font size (I have to zoom out on the page to read it), or just simply want a less dreary, more colorful, less looking-like-the-page-is-still-loading favicon to stare at in their open tabs will use this feature.

What would users see?
=====================
Users will see a smaller font size, a colorful logo, and the best documentation website ever filling up the entire page.

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
For one thing, you will stop receiving complaints from users of MDN like me.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
I realize that you must have put a lot of effort into the new layout, and I am certain that some users may like it better. So, please just offer it to users as an option to switch back to the old layout.
