lichess v2 short thoughts and thanks for the dev team!

Can I switch back to v1?
"Sorry, it's not possible to switch back to Lichess v1. It is gone. Forever. Never to be seen again. Please try to take a few days to get used to Lichess v2, which we believe is superior in every regard. Also let us know what you miss about v1, and we'll see what can be done to address your concerns."

Hey guys,

I really appreciate what you're doing, but I don't like v2 at all....backwards compatible should be a thing. For me the new design looks horrible and I'm here just to say thank you for the v1 and all the effort you guys have put in to make v1 happen.
Enforcing a new visualization on all your users is bad practice in my view and I hope you guys will put v1 in a switch. Until then, I salute and respect you all!

Take care,
Elijah

I also think that previous layout is almost perfect (litte too small fonts and not board resizer) - current is not bad but need polishing - esspecialy board for play is unbalanced or forums. Profile is better now.

Be more specific – what don't you like? "the new design looks horrible" doesn't help at all. If it's the size, we understand that it can take a while to get used to. The previous version was quite small, and you got used to it.

Well, yes, when your users are customers, because you break something the customers paid for. So you risk to loose your customers.

This is not what is happening here. You are not a customer.

You use lichess because it is free. Not 'free' as in 'gmail-free' or 'facebook-free'. Really free. You are no customer, but hell you are not the product either, and THIS is what is fantastic!

Please be patient, report bugs, suggest improvements. Thank you for your support!
