For some time now it has been possible to use the old SPOJ-Layout instead of the new one by including "SPOJ" in the URL, e.g.
http://www.spoj.com/SPOJ/status/. That also worked for problem descriptions, user pages etc.
Either this service is only temporary unavailable or has been stopped completely, but it does not work today.
If this is the end of the old layout, I'm not sure that I will use SPOJ in future. Though there were many suggestions for improvements in the forum, there have been only a few bug fixes. I cannot believe that those responsible for that can't do better.
