Default Ok so now I am back to the newer Format

again, and I want to use the 2015 format.

So I select on the 2015 format and it changes to the old format
but as soon as I make a keystroke it reverts back to the 2017
mode again. How do I lock down the 2015 format?

I did this deal a couple of years ago and once I selected 2015 it always came up in the 2015 format.

So how do i fix this deal this time?

Are you talking about the display modes ?

If so mine changes sometimes when I log in.

Oh no, not that again.

I haven't seen it happen in a long time and I hope it stays that way.

Mine Changed this morning, I have tried to change it back to the 2015 format and it does that but the very next post it is back to the latest format again.

Yes, 4zpeed it is the display mode and at the bottom left corner of the screen it shows responsive 2017 and will not stay locked on the 2015 format.

It was fine after I changed it to 2015 with help from the board, for at least 2 years with NO ISSUES whatever.

So help me out here Mods and Members.

(I have tried logging out and logging in again with changing the format and it does not keep it on 2015.

It also stays locked on the individual thread vs allowing going back to the main forum index.


GOT IT FIXED. I HAD TO GO INTO MY USER CP SETTINGS AND CHANGE IT BACK TO PY2015 THERE.

One more correction. Reset the box for "remember me" and now I am good.
Wonder why it decided to drop the old format and go to the default format?
Probably one of those alien electronic attacks.

Any upgrades or reset on your computer?

What you described sounds like what happens when cookies(?) are turned off.
PY server and your computer don't hook up and everything starts over when you change screens.

Think private browsers do the same thing untill you turn the cookies on.

Thanks for the info.

Not aware of any of that.

I do know that I used the US Post Office Tracker on the web and it has screwed up things but not in a long time. Possibly that was the trigger again.

Website was doing the same thing to me until late this afternoon, then the 2015 finally stuck when I logged back in tonight.

Certainly not the end of the world to change it back, but much nicer to just have it stay as set.

I recall this happening years back & all I had to do was select the 2015 format & it would stay that way. Lately, its been changing daily & now even changing back to 2017 responsive just from going to anther page. I find the 2017 layout hard to read for whatever reason. The "2015 online" just works & looks the best for me.
I wish it would just stay that way. Not sure if its my MacBook or what. But i do go on this site from work on a windows PC & the same things happens lately.

About a week or so ago my HP laptop has again been changing back to the Responsive 2017 every so often at login, but at least it doesn't do it all the time. When things are operating smoothly only my erasing the cookies on my computer would prompt the change. I suspect it's something on the server dropping our saved choices.
