Hello,
Thanks for the screen shot but I still have no idea where that is?
I click on my profile next to the shopping basket MyBricklink then where? looking
under Account Info and settings nothing, even at the bottom of the pages?

Click on the 'hamburger' menu. Then click on My BrickLink. Then click
the blue box: View Classic Layout. Then the Site Map links will be available
to you.

Last step is to let BrickLink know that they messed this up 3 months ago and
have not taken any responsibility for fixing it.

Another method to access the Classic/New View tabs, is within your orders (placed,
in your case) page, of any status other than "purged"

Your account is too new. The page they are showing is only available to legacy

To get to the page, you need to first click on 'Sitemap' in the site
footer and then click 'About Me' on the following page.

Makes you curious what the signup date cutoff might be for being considered "legacy"
by the site in this context? And for how much longer can we expect to enjoy these
legacy benefits?

Are you telling me the new nav is actually worse than it seems? I just can't
wrap my head around the concept that BrickLink users are losing access for known
and useful sections of the site and BL has yet to acknowledged there's even
a problem much less fix it. It's just like the pre-LEGO days all over again.

i believe the fact new accounts dont have the option to view the old version
has been that way since near when it was first rolled out years ago

Yes.
And I think that defines the cutout: only accounts that existed before the new
“My BL” page have access to the “classic” version.

And this was not a problem before the new navbar because the “classic” My BL
wasn’t the only way to get to My Activity.

That's just hubris thinking that people only want the old screen because
they are used to it and not because it is just better.

If the design succeeded, then you could leave the Classic button but no one will
want it.

indeed, it has uses and users are missing out on some of it which is very unfortunate

It's just better because it is.

Pictures below:

20 Orders in the old layout, it fits in the whole screen (1080 height).

20 Orders in the new layout: it shows only 10, and I don't even see the bottom
navigation.

PLUS it shows the unnecessary DAC7 compliance Alert I've no reason to see
as I'm compliant for months

Why should I favor the new layout, frankly?

It's everything but "I prefer to stick to the one I like" (here,
at least).

In short: I totally agree with you Jennn.
