The new person page is showing by default with no option to change to the old person page.

The option will be put back soon. We had to remove it to prevent an infinite redirect loop as we switch over. The old page option will still be available for another few months.

Great news @lyleblunttoronto1; many were worried about the unresolved issues, so glad the link will be restored soon. Thanks for the note!

For years we used the old page. Please give us years to find how the new page works. Or I will be lost in the confusion of switching to the new page.
Thank you very much.

New person page very clunky.
Previous observations of new color will take getting used to. Spacing and minor re-arrangement of fields is disconcerting.
While I'm sure we'll all get used to it within a month or two - I'm still left with the Why of it all. Side by side we just have a facelift.
I can condense the window width further before the side menu stacks... I guess that is nice.

I wonder whether FamilySearch usage went down during the hours this issue lasted.

The new format is horrible.
The screen is too cluttered with information that I could go find if I wanted it, but don't need it to be there all day every time.
The process of editing the indexing (the indexer has made an error that needs to be corrected) is cumbersome and adds 1 or 2 steps to the correction process, besides making it much more difficult to monitor and keep track of what comes next.
It is much more difficult for a high-volume user to navigate because there is so much clutter.
When a hint comes up that a person might already be in FamilySearch (I attach a lot of records and see this a lot), because of all the clutter, it is much more difficult to determine of the hint is for a person of interest or not. My initial reaction is that the number of duplicates will multiply because the new format is so hard to work with. The process of examining a record hint to see if it is a person of interest now has more steps that before.
Yes, we could learn to use the new format. But we seem to have taken a giant step backward. I agree that we need to go back to what we had.
