    It is temporary as they fix the glitches. In the next few months, everyone will be purple. The new purple version was created for several reasons:

    1. It works better on mobiles than the green

    2. It added several new features the users were whining to get. Have you found them?

    3. It was created to use newer software just like Facebook, etc

    4. Corporate said to redesign to look more like Facebook, etc

    5. To remove some glitches, which they did, but new ones were created

    Give it 30 days and you will get the hang of it. Many people hated the green version when it started, because it was different. That is the same thing here.
