I use both. I currently have my non-studio list of games empty so I'm not as affected by some people, but I had more games during the testing phase, and in the past I was one of the people with like 10 or 20 turn-based games on mobile.

I wrote some CSS that declutters things a bit. I posted it the other forum https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... 15#p168515

I don't like the changes! I feel very uncomfortable now on the site "gameinprogress" and can't see any benefits compared to as it was before.

I have to repeat what someone wrote earlier in this thread: Why change something that was perfect? ... Exactly.

Please give us back the familiar design.

I quite agree, but remember to post this comment in the official thread too to increase the likelihood of BGA reading it. https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=168568

How can we now see global stats from games? (number of games running). It was previously possible from that menu

Everyone seems up in arms over the change. But to me it's a HUGE improvement. Not perfect but way better. Separating tourney games from regular is great usability improvement. Thank you to the developers.

As someone who is relatively new to BGA, there are some things I like about the change and some I don't. It probably bothers me less because I have had less time to develop muscle memory and familiarity with the old format.

What I most like: symbols/color coding in the side menu for casual vs. arena games. The subtle progress bar that visually shows the % complete the game is.

What I most dislike: the removal of spinning hourglass that replaced the avatar of the player whose turn it was (as buggy/laggy as that could be sometimes). It was very easy to glance and see if it was almost my turn (or if the game was at a stage when everyone had to make a selection, like in Heat). I can't remember the turn order of every game in progress, so seeing the name of whose turn it is tells me almost nothing.

Change is always hard for all of us...but I always remind myself that only living things experience meaningful change.

Are the words supposed to cut off at the bottom? I know my screen isn't huge but why would it cut the words off? That doesn't seem like good design. I've tried zooming in and out of the browser but nothing changes. It's weird.
