What's up with the new layout?
-
I hate to complain about updates but it seems like every week WP is changing things.
I absolutely HATE the new “new post” page and how tags are added. I also dislike the new stats page but appreciate you can still use the old one.
Please stop fixing things if they are not broken.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The user interface changes you refer to including those to the new editor did not happen today. They happened a month ago and small adjustments have been made since then.

To use the classic editor at Dashboard > Posts > Add New to create and edit your posts and to locate the classic stats pages see here
Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface -
In the new editor:
Your 100 most used tags and categories are loaded, then the first 20 are displayed alphabetically. Starting to type a category/tag name pulls up all the matching options.

I know it happened a month ago but I’m just getting a chance to write here about it. I used to be able to go back to the old way to create a post so didn’t mind it too much but now I am not and only allowed to view the old stats page. Just my opinion – I don’t like it. I feel as the old layout was a lot more user friendly especially when using it on my mobile. I also liked how it made the tags you used more larger

If yo want ask for the tag size to be larger in the new editor then Staff will note that when they read this thread.
If you want to locate the classic editor and use it for creating posts and editing them then I already posted a link to that above.

but now I am not and only allowed to view the old stats page.
How to locate the classic stats page is also covered in the post I already linked to above.

Thanks, I tried to get to the classic editor and it appears I don’t have the option anymore. I am going to attempt it again.

You do have the option to use both the classic editor and the classic stats pages but the link in the new editor to the classic editor has been removed removed and will not be returned. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/when-editing-an-old-post-how-do-i-switch-to-the-classic-editor?replies=5#post-2316097
Before you post here again please read and act on what you read here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/ where everything you need has been covered in step by step fashion.

I know how to get back to the classic stats page, that is what i was talking about when I referred to it as the old stats page. It states it very clearly on it’s own on the bottom of the new statz page.
I also bookmarked your link the 1st time you posted it above.
If I still can’t get it, then I will continue to ask the staff because that is what this forum is for.

That’s good.re: not getting it
I don’t think you will have any difficulty understanding and using what I posted and my post was compiled after searching all the earlier threads on the issues. Yes, of course, this forum is for asking questions after we use tag search, support doc search and Google search to locate earlier answers like I did.
