Thank you so much!!!! I've avoided clicking on the modern post editor for years up until yesterday when I was finally unfortunate enough to click on it by accident. I managed to get back to the old editor that time by clicking my browser's back button, and even made a new post in the old style, but today I found out that it still registered the modern post editor as the default - in fact, with that setting enabled, even typing livejournal.com/update.bml into the address bar directly just redirected to the modern post editor. I thought I'd have to say goodbye to the look and feel of my journal entirely until I Googled and found this. Thanks again!
I wish. I love Dystopia, but accidentally clicked something and now I don't have it. Then I accidentally did something last night because of my DISABILITY and now I have the stupid modern post editor. NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS.
Scroll down to the section titled "Default Record Editor mode", and look for the checkbox labeled "Use a new/updated editor". Uncheck that, bam, problem solved.
I've accidentally gone into the new editor a few times now. I hate it so, so, so, so, so, so much.
Oh wow, someone is still reading these comments! Thanks very much! Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the ONE entry I posted with a LOT of HTML and paragraphs, but that's not your fault. I guess I'll repost. Sometimes the old stuff works the best. As I said, I don't know what I clicked. Nobody asked for this! I'm reading the comments of the News post now, and most people agree about the new modern editor. Have a great day!

Thank you! I accidentally pressed on "Try now" and was in the CAPS LOCK RAGE but luckily I found your guide and everything is well again.
