New Format?
I very much dislike the new format. I can no longer search for sources or cite them. Is there some way to avoid being redirected to this? I am continually logging out to get off these new pages (profiles). It appears to try to mimic Ancestry.com, which in my opinion is a terrible mistake. This cite has always been easy to use and the best way to find sources. Please keep it that way!

I absolutely agree. There are too many things jumping out - smaller viewing panes - I can't tell where I am or where I'm going.
It seems that both Ancestry and family tree are trying to make this a phone app. It is awful. too difficult too confusing to many things to look at on one page. half the page is covered with the header. I hate this. I won't be using it.
There is nothing wrong with simple and clean and this new look needs to go away or give me the option to use the old way.
I get the whole new and improved but quite frankly this sucks.
No one can do research on a phone app. If you want to make a phone app, don't change the computer app.
There is simply too much important information to view in such a small area. I know no one really listens or looks at the comments. I am writing this to vent my frustrations. It would be nice if someone would actually listen. Who is designing this crap? Obviously not a serious genealogy researcher.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Your are not alone ...
MANY; Many, many, of us wish for such ...
But ...
That Said ...
I really doubt such will ever happen ...
And, just in case you, were not aware ...
Here are some FOUR (x4) posts, in date (and, post) order of being posted, from someone, stating, to be part of the 'FamilySearch' Team that, 'Designed'; and, 'Developed", the the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", which appears, in some of the posts, to give some "Instruction", on HOW to use the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records".

FamilySearch Employee Responding to Search Page Feedback
I hope, that some of the information in these posts, may offer some help/assistance.
And ...
There are OTHER posts throughout this Forum, where the instigator of the above posts has responded with, advice; direction; instruction; help/assistance, on the NEW "Results" page/screen, of "Records Search" ('FamilySearch').
Now ...
That Said ...
You may like to ADD, your thoughts/comments, in those particular posts; so that, your thoughts/comments, like those of MANY other UNHAPPY Users/Patrons, ARE 'seen', by the Team, in 'FamilySearch', that 'Designed'; and, 'Developed" the NEW look "Search".
As you can 'see' from those posts ...
DESPITE, all the NEGATIVE 'Feedback', with regard to the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", from those that matter, the 'lowly' User/Patrons, where the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", was 'foisted' upon them; BEFORE, being "Fully" released to ALL User/Patrons - 'FamilySearch' RELEASED the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", to ALL Users/Patrons.
As I already suggested ...
You are not alone ...
We are ALL "Struggling"; and, NEED "Help", with the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", which is NOT very 'User Friendly'.
MOST Users/Patrons want the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records" to be "Reverted" BACK to the PREVIOUS "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records".
But ...
That Said ...
SADLY, I doubt that will happen ...
I know that this DOES NOT help/assist; but, I hope that this gives you some, insight; and, perspective.
