New puzzle screen format

Sure, some people like it, but clearly, some people don't like it. I'm just wondering if there's a way to turn it off. It's not a critical feature and the ability to toggle it would be a bonus, in my opinion.

Not everyone is going to like every feature.
I don't think it's a good idea to show what game a puzzle is from, even when the user hasn't solved the puzzle yet. The full move list and information like what time control the game was played at, and what players the game was played between, are unnecessary and even irrelevant to the puzzle solver. All this information should be reduced to a clickable "from game #X," which it used to be.

Apart from that, I do really enjoy the ability to analyse a position immediately after solving (or failing) it, that's a great new feature.
Identity concealed or not:
I feel it is nice to see a familiar name attached to a puzzle.

A feature I would like in the profile:
Access to the puzzle numbers that have been created from my games.

Eventually if someone does not want to have their name in highlights, they could press a button to make their names hidden in the puzzles.
On the latest version of Safari, on a IOS device, these news changements bugs. For example the button "view the solution" and "(color) to move") are on the move list.
#14 - I noticed this too on my ipad pro in web mode on safari (not app mode). There needs to be more space between these objects and the bottom of the move list window.
I'd like to renew this request - being able to turn off the side display of moves. There are certain types of mice (i.e. The Magic Mouse), that makes the side display problematic. With even the slightest touch, the mouse cycles through all the moves on the side, since it grabs the activity when not actually moving a chess piece. The result being, that you constantly have to reset the puzzle to the place you were before the scroll.

It doesn't matter how much you adjust the sensitivity or how good your "snatch the pebble from my hand" skills are. If there were a way to disable that feature or prevent it from grabbing focus without explicitly clicking inside of it, that would be fantastic.
