I am having the same problem. I may get the the “new” viewer for about a page or two (search + first page of results) but if I press continue to the second page of results I get a 404 error(not found on this server). When I then refresh my browser, I get taken to that “old” version of the site pictured above with a bunch of templates circa 2005.
I promised someone I would set up their blog, and scheduled today and tomorrow for it, so I really hope this is resolved soon, as otherwise I am kind of stuck with the lovely classic theme.
Cheers for any help!
