Instead of waiting 6 to 8 weeks or the heat death of the universe*, you can use this simple userscript to make things right today. The userscript is a living project, so more features will be added as we go. Please note that this script does not bring back removed stats, do check out https://stackapps.com/q/9074/78873 if you want them back too. ### License The script is licensed under the [GPL-3.0-or-later][2] license. ### Download [Install][3] | [Minified][4] The script *doesn't need* a userscript manager to work (but includes necessary headers). ### Platform Version number means "last tested on": | Chrome | Opera | Firefox | Edge | IE | | - | - | - | - | - | | ✔ 92.0.4515.107 | ✔ 77.0.4054.203 | ✔ 89.0 | ✔ 92.0.902.55 | no | Userscript managers: | Greasemonkey | Tampermonkey | Violentmonkey | | - | - | - | | ✔ 4.11 | ✔ 31 | ✔ 2.13.0** | Works well with: | Userscript | Features | Author | Tested Version | | - | - | - | - | | [Make better use of the space in profiles][5] | Restores right sidebar on user profile and adds several UTC-based timestamps | [Little Nuts][6] | 1.1 | | [Legacy Profiles][7] | Allows you to see the user creation date, profile view count and when the user was last seen | [Spectric][8] | 1.4 | ## Change log | Version | Description | | - | - | | 0.11.0 | significantly improved fullwidth styling | | 1.0.0 | improved compatibility layer to better align with other userscripts | <sub>Changelog prior to the last minor version can be found [in the revision history][9]</sub> ## Contact Author: [Oleg Valter][10] <br>Organization: [UserScripters][11] Please, submit bug reports [on the source repository](https://github.com/userscripters/bring-back-layout). <br>Before adding a new one, please check if it hasn't been raised before.
