I agree with you, the changes are terrible. Very uncomfortable.
How to get back to the format before the sudden change this afternoon.

I'm trying to get back to the MS Insider forum in the format I had it prior to the sudden unexplained change. For starters, I want to get rid of the left pane.
Windows Insider program | Windows Insider preview | Internet and connectivity

The old Insider and Windows forums are gone.

A single product may have a problem every once and a while that needs fixing and this is a good forum to do that. But the Insider program needs a place to do actual discussions about the recent updates that we have pretty much every week. Also, with them adding 2000+ "questions" to this tag makes it kind of a mess.
