What did I (my cats) do to my homepage?

As of yesterday my homepage looks a little odd. Forums seems to look the same as they've always done, though this screen where I'm composing this post might also have the text looking a bit small too, not sure.

I have the browser zoom set to 100%, so it's not that. None of my other browser windows/sites are exhibiting strange behavior, so I'm really not sure why SD looks different. Appears to only be affecting Chrome too, homepage looks normal in Edge.

My cats have a tendency to walk all over my keyboard the second I leave the room, so I'm usually pretty diligent about locking the keyboard when I do. On the rare occasion that I forget, their preference seems to be for Full Screen or Developer Options though, which is a quick fix, not sure if I can blame them this time!

I hear you on the cat thing. I once had to have a whole new work laptop sent to me because he walked across the keyboard laugh out loud

I'm wondering if maybe they clicked on the area where you can switch site views. What you showed me now is what the Front Page looks like on the classic view. It's larger on the redesign view and definitely different looking. Ask them to find it for you ( laugh out loud jk it's in our footer).

That was exactly what the problem was. Probably why it looked normal in edge too as I'm not logged in there so the site wouldn't have known my alledged preferences. Can't believe the number of times I thought "why does this look so old school?" and didn't think to check for anything like a classic view - possibly because I rarely make it to the footer of the home page due to near infinite scroll!
