Hello all, I had clicked on the new smugmug view few days a ago, I didn't make any changes on my current setting other than just looked at some new templates, but now every time I log on to my site, admin part, the new smugmug preview is on, I have to click on the view legacy smugmug to go back to my usual page, how can I resolve this problem, can anyone please help, thank you very much!

    A quick search through the many posts in this very forum will bring up many versions of the same question, and the answer is always the same...

    You can't resolve the situation.
    Yippee ki-yay, footer-muckers!

    Why not move to new smug? I just had a look at your site and it looks like it will be quite straightforward to move into the new world.

    Well...I have two accounts. I previewed the new SM with one of them to play around. I absolutely HATE it. So...it is still in preview mode (with no plans to publish it) and every time I go to it, I click the button to view legacy. That does get old and I also wish I could leave it in legacy without having to choose it every time.

    I won't switch my main site until I absolutely have to. I know a lot of people love the new look, but I also know a lot of people don't like it. I'm one of the 'don't likes'. Sorry.

    Sfl2000:

    Agree with beardedgit, not found way to fix it.

    My own history: because using the sandbox had unexpected effects on existing site, I unveiled before I really wanted to (along the lines of Denise's suggestion to you). Just jumped in the water. It has been a mixed experience.

    The good: I'm very positive about the new design, especially collage landscape and the organizer. Kudos to developers for those and many other features.

    The bad: there are a significant number of features present in the old sm that you will not find in the new, or have been degraded there. Look around these forums for examples. Also some weird bugs. Timeline for fixing bugs or "adding" the newly lost features (that's the sm term; I'd prefer "restoring") is not clear but many feel that it is slow.

    The ugly: information from sm as to what features are now gone varies from incomplete to misleading. I've not found a currently maintained list of these features. Some missing features may not be important to you; others may be critical.

    So if you do jump right into the pool, the water may be colder than you think . . . Do your research.

    Good luck!

    Hi migreen, my website has been customized, many features are missing as well as setting and such, I'm not web savvy, if I go ahead and update, my website will be completely messed up. Beside I don't like new look anyway. I think older interface has more functions, I would like not to click view legacy every time log in, I hope there is a way to fix it.

    Hi Denise, my website has been customized, I can't move into the new world, because it will messed up everything, I like my customized look better. Will it be like this every time I have to click on the view legacy to get back to my old look :(

    Yes, you will need to click on view legacy.

    You should also be aware that at some point you will need to move to the new smug. I know your site has been customized but your customization is pretty simple. As I said before, it should not take much work to move to new smug.

    Your site could be moved to new SM in about 15 minutes. And it would look 1000x better, trust me :) Your photos deserve a better website.

    I'm not trying to convince you to move to New Smugmug, but I'm curious as to what "customizations will be messed up" if you move?
    Your website looks as if if can be reproduced to look the same as it does now.
    My opinion does not necessarily make it true. What you do with my opinion is entirely up to you.
