- I'm not kidding. Since the transition to such an interface is obviously inevitable for everyone, the question is how to return the old VKontakte design
has only a temporary solution. But because Although it’s temporary, it’s still possible to disable the new VKontakte design and continue working with the usual sane interface, so that’s what we’ll do.
This question is relevant, perhaps, for all VKontakte users who, over 10 years, have become accustomed to the simplicity and convenience of the old design and use its functionality to the fullest. In particular, this applies to those who created and administer communities and groups - the developers of the new VK.com have certainly made their lives difficult with their innovations.
By the way, for this category of VK users I would like to give a practical recommendation: in order not to waste precious time on independent public promotion both on VKontakte and in all other popular social networks, and to fully concentrate on quality content for your community, you should contact the Soclike
.
Judging by the numerous positive reviews, this PR team knows its business and will be able to quickly provide your group with the required number of quality
subscribers.
Let's return to the main question. Let's make a reservation right away - we will talk about the browser version of the social network. Android and iOS applications, alas, will not be considered in this article.
Upd. 08/17/2016.
Dear Reader, in order not to waste your precious time, I would like to immediately inform you: “The uprising has been suppressed, Skynet has won.” Well, jokes aside, the inevitable happened: despite all the protest sentiments of VKontakte users, the developers, after several “waves” of transferring users to the new design, decided that enough wasted time: on 08/17/16 ALL users of the social network were transferred to the new design... Accordingly, the addresses are new .vk.com simply does not exist at the moment, and recommendations using its return do not work...
This does not mean that there are now no ways to return the old VKontakte design: especially for those who do not give up, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the ““ block located below in the text. There you will find a method that will probably be able to extinguish the flame of righteous anger in you.
Well, before this block there will be information that has more historical than practical significance: the following describes the chronology of the fight against the disease called “ New design of Vk.com
". Getting acquainted with this information will not take you, dear Readers, much time, and probably someone will be interested in knowing “how it all began,” so all previously working methods remain in the article. So let's begin.
For those who have become a “guinea pig” for VKontakte designers involuntarily (i.e., they simply encountered a new interface at a certain moment), there should be a link “Return to the old version...” located at the bottom of the left column with menus and advertising. In truth, the designers clearly tried to make the tool for how to return the old version of VKontakte as inconspicuous as possible: gray letters on a gray background - this is difficult to notice.
Those who voluntarily joined the “ranks of testers” of the new interface (by clicking on the ill-fated “Join testing” button) may not find a link to return to the old version.
And how to disable the new VKontakte design in this case?
Pay attention to the browser address bar:
Attention to the address bar!
As you can see, “ new”
"
Those. in fact, it is another user profile page. To return the usual vk.com/page_id, and with it to return the old version of VKontakte, we simply “edit” the address: you need to erase “ new.
" And, of course, press Enter (or the input confirmation key on a touch device).
The result will be like this:
We removed “new.” from the address and got what we needed!
Sound familiar? Probably to the point of pain
