zl2todDid the Mastodon web interface do a reasonably radical reformat overnight, or did I push some button which shifted the menu to the right and made the timeline area bigger and much more labourious to doomscroll?
Whether or not it was me, how do I make it stop?
Bob LeFridge :tinoflag:Everything has remained familiar at this end and I can't think of any magic button which would cause that. Can you unpin the menu column and drag it back to where it belongs?

Ta, I can't see any facility to do that. I thought it happened when I did something random at the left hand end of the keyboard, but I haven't found a key combination that reverts it.
Bob LeFridge :tinoflag:On the web interface there should be a little cog at the top of each column. Clicking that brings up the 'Unpin' dialogue, then the < and > symbols move the column left or right. Then pin it again when you're happy and Bob's your uncle.

Nup, nonesuch, and I can't see anything in Preferences which has the only cog.

Now I'm seeing stuff in my feed from accounts I don't follow ... has The Algorithm arrived?

And another utter rubbish post in my timeline from someone I do not follow, doesn't follow me, and of whom I have never heard.
He also appears to be quite delusional or deliberately pushing bullshit.

Fair call. Ta.
Any idea on why the format of the page changed?
