How to set to legacy

When I view my SmugMug page, it defaults to a new layout.

I don't want that. I would like it to be the "Legacy" view.

How can I set it open with the legacy view?

    Bump.

    Help, please, someone.

    Sticking with the legacy view is probably something simple,
    but I don't know how to do it.

    I'm sure the new format is liked by some, but not by me.

    There's a button at the top of every page to switch to Legacy.

    If you haven't published your new website, you can hit the "view legacy" button that will be at the very top of your page. However, if you've already published your site, you cannot go back to the legacy version.

    Why on earth would you want what is essentially 10-years old? Embrace the new. Your site is NOT customized. Moving to one of the new templates would be dead-simple easy for you. Do it, and jump into 2013, the water is fine.......

    A lot of tedious tasks are much easier in legacy, like captions and keywords. I'm building my new site, but i have no intention of switching permanently until commonly used tools are in easier reach and a lot of other missing features are restored. 2003 is looking pretty good to me right now, at least for the logged-in side of things.

    I dived in and things do look good and work well in Admin view. However, visitor view is another story and unfortunately you can't fully see visitor view until you unveil. Catch 22.

    Is it not my choice?

    If I don't choose to have a make-over, I really don't want you telling
    me I should have one. I don't ask you to pick out my neckties, and
    I don't appreciate a snarky answer when I ask how to pick out
    my own style.

    For those that told me to hit the "View Legacy" button, yes, I figured
    that out. I don't want to do that every time I view my home page.
    I would like my home page, as I view it, to appear as it used to be.

    If I feel like taking the time to check out the templates and consider
    changing my format, I'll do it when I'm ready to. In the meantime,
    can I set my home page to the legacy view without hitting that
    damn button every time or not?

    I have to agree. New Smugmug sure looks pretty but for the photographer an awful lot of it is broken right now and it looks like it will take several months to sort out so recommending people jump in head first is a little irresponsible when there is only six inches of water in the pool because the pump is broken! I wish I had left it a good while longer because as much as I want to unveil, if I can't actually use my website after unveiling then there is no point.

    Tony, yes you will have to hit the 'View Legacy Smugmug' button every time now, sorry.
