Old editor

Is the old editor now gone? I can’t seem to reset to it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. The old editor still exists, but there is no longer a button in the new editor to switch to it, nor is there a way to save your preference via a cookie anymore. You can add your feedback on this change to this thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-reinstate-the-option-of-choice-to-use-the-old-publishing-format?replies=544
As I said, the old editor still exists and you can still use it, and staff has indicated that there aren’t any plans at this stage to scrap it. The simplest option now is to bookmark your WP-Admin dashboard and always create and edit new posts and pages via that. To find your WP-Admin dashboard, click on the WP-Admin link on the My Sites page, or add “wp-admin/” at the end of your WordPress.com URLs. (http://afeatheradrift.wordpress.com/wp-admin/)
If you don’t mind “getting your hands dirty” a bit, another user has created a workaround in the form of a user script you can install in your browser that will automatically take you to the classic editor every time the new one tries to load if you click the New Post or Edit buttons in the admin bar or on-site. It works like a charm and is much simpler than it appears. See this link for instructions: http://wp.me/p3639L-Iu
