How to use old forum layout?

This new forum layout is hard to use, is there a way to use the old layout? This "endless scroll" of messages looks like it was made for mobile devices, maybe there is a setting to tell it you are using a wide-screen and not a tall thin screen? I asked a question about using restartable methods to download Simulators in Xcode, but now I can't find it. Somewhere in the endless scroll, I guess.

I have dual 27" monitors. When I scroll through the forum message list, a maximum of 4 posts can fit on the screen. That is after the page header scrolls out of the way. Is that really the way the thousands of forum posts are supposed to be read? Maybe there is a switch somewhere to layout the content in a "landscape" mode, instead of this "portrait" mode.

There’s a way to do that, although it’s not easy to find. Try this:
  1. Click on the avatar icon in the top right.

  2. In the popup, click on your user name (just above Edit Profile, but do not click Edit Profile).

  3. That’ll show you a list of threads that you started, sorted with the most recent first.

We have a bug on file about making this easier (r. 64576909).

Yeah, the spacing is… shall we say… generous. If you have feedback about that, the best place for it is in a bug report against the forums.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.
