The new look is really bad

[brucellosis]

We really need an option for the return of the orange banner announcing a turn is waiting, for all sorts of reasons. For example, when you have BGA open on a second screen while working - the banner popup is noticeable while the orange icon changing is not.

Is there a bug registered for this that I can add a vote to?

Adding on to the dog pile. Two things against the usability of the new notification:
1. My particular brand of colorblindness makes this particular shade of orange fade into whatever shade of off-white (bone? ivory? cream?) that has been chosen for an aesthetically pleasing top ribbon.
2. If my window has been open for more than a few minutes without refreshing, the icon has a bad habit of disappearing completely. Not sure if it's the javascript in the back end of the page deciding that its workday is done, something just going unresponsive and failing silently, or any multitude of other possible options, but it's quite difficult to go to a waiting table if the icon I need to click isn't even there.
This needs to go back to a UX person for comments and revision, because this is not good.

I am so, oh sooo happy to see I am not the only one finding this new interface worse than the previous one. I though it was just me having difficulties adapting to change but... yes, this is much worse than before.
I can't easily understand where I have to play, I have to click my avatar to see info that were very appearent before.

If given the chance, I would go back

I agree, it took me a while to figure out how to even tell if I had a turn to take on a game, and when I finally did, I thought it was not going to make things quicker, but actually make it more tedious to figure out if you have a turn to take on turn based games.

I can't even figure out how to get back the table list without going into any game I have in progress and pressing the "Go back to table list" button. Thankfully my short cut to come to this website is the table list page, so I can at least click that link to get back to it.

I concur with all of the above. Terrible update to the GUI.

Ich finde das neue toll, aber ich spiele auch nur echtzeit und automatische suche.
Danke

I'll chime in to say they somehow managed to hide the "log out" button. It's under the drop-down arrow next to "Online," except it doesn't always show up. More clicks to do the same thing is a really dumb "improvement"

Feels like someone just finished a graphic design class and wanted to make something shiny, rather than actually functional.

At least the rest of the site seems normal... at least for now, anyway.

I don't even think the new look is bad, but the turn banner definitely needs to come back, or at least be an optional feature that someone can turn back off if desired.

It is just really bad. On phone it is atrocious. How do I know how many tables in playing on? Why is the logo for games that weird flower thing instead of a table? Why are all my games condensed into a sub-menu? The menu for the tables doesn't actually scroll, part of it is cut off on my phone, and overall is just a horrible change.

I've only recently came into BGA thanks to a video, and this is honestly disheartening to see. I also don't see any announcements about this UI change so if one does exist, linking it would be very helpful. Everything else is great, it's just that this new UI is a huge misstep.
