  I just found the Appearances > Widget section all changed to a new format. And I DON’T LIKE IT! Can we PLEASE have the option of working in the old format? This new layout is clunky and hard to navigate. Makes the work much slower. Don’t like it. Can we please have the old format back? Please…..

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There is no option to revert. The changes to the Widgets page were primarily to the appearance ie. layout and not to functionality of the widgets. There is no slowing down of time so I suspect you have a browser related issue.

  1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/

  (a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

  If applicable see here for instructions on how to clear the cache for Chrome and Safari on the iPad:

  (b) Make sure that you have both third-party cookies enabled and JavaScript enabled

  (c) Disable all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily.

  (d) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions

  4. Try using another browser.

  5. If you are not successful let us know:
  (a) Exactly what kind of device you are using to connect to the internet and to WordPress.com.
  (b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/
  (c) And what any error reports you receive state.
