The new look is really bad

[anomander64]

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.

Yep. This was my experience exactly.

Like a LOT of people here, I play multiple TBT games and not being told I need to make a move is problematic for me and the people I'm playing with.

I don't think the new UI is particularly bad or ugly, but I DO miss the orange banner that stated that I had to play. It is not too obvious to see if you have tables awaiting you or not only by looking at that small factor hidden after the "table" icon. Also, I do not think this icon is very meaningful.

I agree, the banner prompting you to take a move and bring you to your games quickly was PERFECT. If you want to make an option to hide it, cool, but it should be there by default.

Barely anyone is taking turns in my games either, so I think everyone is confused.

Same answer for me. The old symbol was more explicit.

Not sure what the problem is, the title bar still has the rotating triangles to draw attention to your turn. Then you click the orange icon.
The orange banner has it's own problems by shifting everything down, and taking up screen space. They've just moved it. Perhaps you'd like it better if it flashed or something?

Where is the IT'S YOUR TURN button??!

Every time I click into a table where it is my turn, it tells me that due to Arena Rules I must PLAY THIS OTHER GAME FIRST.

Every. Single. Time!

As I was beginning to understand the site's layout, it's changed. It's no longer intuitive to know where to go and what to do or even whether you have a turn.

It was fine as it was.

Agree with wanting the orange and green bars back - they are a great visual indication of when I have a game. They help when I want to read mail while waiting for my turn-based games to become my turn - I put about 1" of the page visible to the right of whatever else I'm working on. Same if I'm waiting for a game - the green bar will show up and it's easier for me to see that the game started. I have audio on, but about half the time, it doesn't make a noise if the browser is in the background and not the program that I'm working on.

It's great that you're working on improving the UI. However, this update is not an improvement. The most important aspect of that part of the interface is to notify people when it is time to take their turn. The new "flower" makes that much less clear than the old bar, and might lead to slower games.
