EDIT: The info below is somewhat outdated since Eclipse have been released to more people now and we now have a toggle button on the top of the page.


Now, for those who sadly have Internet Explorer and are stuck in Eclipse, here is how you can toggle on and off without the button:

(And cool, I can now cut & paste a thumb! It's about time I start testing Eclipse again!)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be able to test Eclipse, you need to be a beta tester and to be a beta tester, you need to have a core membership.


To activate beta testing, go to your settings. In the left panel, you will find a Beta Testing option. Click on it. On the Beta Testing page, click on the "I understand and would like to be an Official DeviantArt Beta Tester" box and save.


Once beta testing has been activated, you can switch to Eclipse from the More menu. You'll find a "Try DeviantArt Eclipse" option.


From Eclipse, if you want to return to Green DeviantArt, click on your icon on the top bar and you'll find a "Back to Old Version" on the bottom of the drop-down menu. Warning: Depending on what page you are on, the "Back to Old Version" option might not be available. Just return to your profile by clicking on your icon, and then your username, to be able to see this option again.


DeviantArt Eclipse is not compatible with Internet Explorer. If you switch it on in IE, you won't have any drop down menu and you won't be able to return to the classic version.
