The new tables in progress page and side menu are too cluttered.

Agreed, it just happened to me this morning and I've come straight into here to voice my displeasure with it. I regularly have 20+ turnbased games going. I used to be able to see about that number on one page without scrolling, and even when hitting 50 games in progress the page wasn't hard to parse. Now I can see a grand total of 6 games, or 8 if I use 80% zoom, and that's after hiding things as best as the options let me, and with it set to "small display". LOL who is testing this stuff?

This new version is awful to read. It makes me despair, yet again, of the decision making at BGA. Just like with ELO this feedback will get duly ignored and they will keep pushing out these unpopular lobby and format changes. I already stopped subscribing. I don't know what protest is left other than to leave the site altogether.

You have 10 games, all are visible. 5 standard, 5Arena. Where are you getting 20 from?
There are options available, use them. If the default one doesn't suit you, then try changing them. No-one is saying you're stuck in particular option that is chosen for you.
The list is comparable to the old style. It was not possible to see 20 games without scrolling with the old style.
This is a free community website, YOU are the tester. Pay if you want to.

Ah I see you've now commented.

No kidding, you've counted my current games. good for you. Where does that mean my comment was wrong? I recently had 40+ games going. Disprove me. Go on.*

You seem upset by my comments. Why? Did you design this calamity?

Set back the old version and I will show you 20 games on one screen at 80% zoom on my monitor.

*Edit - I'll make it easy for you. You can't. Maybe see my achievements history. https://boardgamearena.com/achievements?id=92393778 see the multitasking monkey achievement? 23rd November 2023 for 30+ simultaneous games in progress? Yeah that one. 30+ simultaneous games. That's where I'm getting 20+ games from.

Sadly 40 didn't give another award. I got to 49. Maybe I have to hit 50 to trigger the next one. I'll try harder, if I stay around.

It's current games in progress.
You can take back you're snide attitude.

Funny, you're quite happy criticising other people's posts but don't like it when they show you're wrong. Sorry about that but have a nice day. Maybe best stop responding. You're not helping.

Again, see my multitasking monkey award, achieved 30th November 2023, for 30+ simultaneous games in progress. You're wrong, now be gracious about it and leave me in peace without further personal slights. Thanks.

I can't believe that they tested this, it's too terrible.

I''m sorry to say to developers and others involded putting effort into this. But for me 61 years old this new layout is way to crowdy to an extent it's almost giving me a headache. I sure don't want to sound as complaning and whatever, but can you please give me (and others which have similiar feelings) the option to choose for the old lay-out?

Can I also have an estimation when this old lay-out wil be available as an option?

Best regards,
Roland

We can't see the level of the opponents anymore, can we? (beginner, good player, expert...)
It's useful for some games.

Please change it back. It was simple and uncluttered and easy to see the relevant information.

[mighty_jubbo]

The new layout is absolutely disgusting

Why change something that was perfect?

It's always useful, just some instances more than others. There's no reason to remove it, but they did in the lobby redesign and they are continuing suit with this page too now. Idk why but they don't really explain how these decisions are reached, nor is there much acknowledgement to community feedback. I fear these comments will be like whistling into the wind.

one player has a 118% win rate despite winning only around 80% of his games, i noticed.

plus, the 'new and improved' menu is suggesting i 'play again' at ark nova, whilst right next to it, it also suggests i 'discover' ark nova! which is it? both, or neither?!
