Default New look for TOTV

All of a sudden on this site every line or entry has of these little blue folders going across the top. It makes it very hard to see the heading of the post, at least me. Does anyone else have this new issue or is it just me? If you do have, do you know of a way to get rid of them? I'm not liking it at all!

I am having a problem with ads blocking my view of the posts. Is what you are seeing ads? If not, what are the little blue folders?

Could you do a snapshot and post it to this thread? I need more proof for Admin.

Every day for last two weeks they've played with a new look to TOTV. At various times of the day and evening. None of changes were an improvement IMHO and thankfully were rejected. Some of the new visual effects made reading difficult if not totally unreadable. But the TOTV Admin wouldn't know if they didn't try.

Wish they'd leave it alone! Mine is a mess! Not enjoyable anymore.

Mine looks like it always has. I do not have adblocker installed.

Yup! Green piramids, blue cubes and yellow circles across the top line of every post.
TOTV looks like it has a new intern at the helm. Just the ipad not the phone.

I too had that issue when updated too iOs8. It's fixed now. Don't know if admin did anything, but now all the lines are gone. Give it a few more days. It took 4 days to "self" correct.

Default This is what I'm looking now in every page...

On every place possible there are these little blue folders.
