The new look is really bad

[zbik84]

Nie wiem czy tylko ja mam takie odczucie, ale śledzenie gier turniejowych przez nowy wygląd strony stał się naprawę udręką. Żółta liczba na żółtym tle jest naprawdę nieczytelna. Czy nie można wrócić do starego wyglądu strony, w którym wyskakiwał komunikat o ilości stołów oczekujących na ruch? Teraz trzeba się domyślać, że trzeba wykonać ruch.

I'm agree with you, this new look is horrible to follow game on turn by turn and tournament. Furthermore, they remove the indication in orange they annonce you how many table you have to play...So we don't see when we connect to our account if we have to play or not easily as before. Can you make something to have again a great ergonomy for this ?

[Langoroth]

Agreed. Please give us an option to return the large orange status bar. It is a must on the phone and generally useful overall.

Where is my "games waiting on you"?

Seriously guys, UI design 101 is put concise information first and save flashy stuff for immediate attention. I don't need to know my friends are online or my xp has gone up as soon as it happens. I do need to know when I'm needed at a table.

Pulsing red avatar though? Why not add in a heartbeat sound and spiders?

Sorry if this sounds negative - but BGA has always been about calmness and friendliness and the unannounced (No, I don't read everything) appearance of dark patterns is a really REALLY bad idea. Like site quitting bad.

I like changes but I have to agree with others. The look is aweful. I don't like the one little button with a small number next to it in orange for games that require my turn. Of all the things that needed to be updated on this site this was the least needed.

The old style was more user friendly.

It's even worse when on your phone. It has no functionality any more and the scrolling through all the tables, most of which you can't tell which games are waiting and which are for your turn, aren't in any particular order skips and freezes. Then it will randomly pull you into a game which most likely isn't the one you were intending or needing to go to. It took me so much longer today to just figure out which of my tournament games were waiting on me. Normally this takes about 10 min to get through a few turns and move on. But this format makes it so hard to find which games are waiting on you. Most of the games I prefer don't require a computer format for the mobility. This format disabled the phone and smaller format usage.

[ProfessorPaljas]

I agree with the above.
Also I like to play on my mobile phone and it seems no attention whatsoever was given to how the new style would play out on a mobile browser, because it doesn't work at all. I accidentally opened the current games drop down this afternoon and was not able to close it again... (Android, Chrome, big screen..)

Agreed, it is much less efficient to do common actions now, on both mobile and desktop.

It is much harder to see whether I have games that are my turn since the tiny light yellow number is against a white background, instead of red indicator or a large orange bar like before.

[Sihoiba]

Agreed, I completely missed that I had turns to take in game. The information is hidden away and not obviously accessible.
