Opera version 72.0.3815.148 and I can't get it to work (neither from the address bar, nor from bookmarks, nor from speeddial). Even by deleting the folder ...\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software and installing from scratch is the only extension that still doesn't work. On the facebook page, the "Switch to old layout" button (and the subsequent OK on the 48 O'clock warning) simply updates the page and the design does not change.

This had been working for me since it was first released but, since the last update (v.6), it isn't. The new popup does nothing except generate a message from facebook.com saying it will try to revert to the old layout, but it doesn't. Even if it did, why on earth is there a 48 hour time limit on the switch? Currently on Opera 72.0.3815.186 but it didn't work under the previous version either.

@Elyss Did you read the popup messages? It contains a full explanation, as well as a link to the FAQ. Everything is very well explained.

I've been getting the same message apparently the people that are sending this stupid message reply don't have a clue so what we're going through -

@mattkruse Yes, Matt, I read it. It doesn't explain why it's not working though.

The Old Layout was working fine until yesterday's 6.6 update. I looked at my extensions and noticed I had an older version of The Old Layout, 6.2 or 6.3 as well as the 6.6 version. I deleted the early version and suddenly everything worked. Make sure to delete your older version. Go to Menu>Extensions>Extensions, scroll through your extensions and make sure you only have one for The Old Layout.

It suddenly stopped working for me. I can't tell if I have versions 6.6 or 7.2 because both versions show up in the pop-up box.

Oops! It looks like we tried to switch your account but it didn't actually succeed.
This happens for some accounts, and we don't know why. This isn't a problem with the Old Layout extension, but a limitation of Facebook itself. It is preventing some accounts from switching.
Hopefully the styles applied to the new layout will at least be an improvement for you.
The extension might still work for other accounts on this same browser. Unfortunately we don't yet know why some accounts can't be switched, but we're working on it.
For now, you can click to hide the panel below and it will go away until a new version is released.
