Since these new changes were put in place, I don't see the full screen option when playing a game.

Did I miss something?

I love BGA and really appreciate all the time and effort put into it - it is a wonderful service for all of us who love to play games, so thanks to all of you! I too, however, prefer the old logo, with the same reasons given by others - doesn't really tie into gaming (it just does look like a cloud!), and the colors are bland and indistinct. Maybe something more vibrant would be a better match for a site devoted to people playing games! That being said, the logo doesn't matter to me that much. However, the very pale gray-blue for the bar makes things harder to see, and the full-screen icon is invisible (I have to click on empty pale gray-blue space to go to full screen, which works as long as you never move it!) One thing I don't think has been brought up yet is that I really hope you keep the wood tabletop look for the background - I love that!

I also like the wood tabletop very much and hope that it (or similar) will be available in the new design.

It's still there, it's just the same color as the background. :-D

I assume they are planning further updates to fix things like that!

I don't like the new logo... but who cares. The real problem of this site is that is kinda slow. You should really make use of websockets. Furthermore opening a new table is quite unintuitive. I suggest you to make things simpler and faster, the look can wait :)

This logo reminds me of cow udders. :P

But if people like it, whatever. Not a big deal to me.

Oh, you're right! I rarely go full screen and never noticed that was missing. I had to figure out where it was to check what you were saying.

There's another missing. Any pages where the main menu shows (play now, news, community, etc.), over to the far right next to my sound option icon, if you click there it'll go back to the home page. I don't recall that even being there. But I started clicking on the background to the right of the menu items and discovered it. (Actually, looking at the code, it appears there's a login and language stuff before that sound button. I don't really remember that.)

I have to assume these are bugs that need fixed. (Not that I'm any expert, but in the code on a game page there's no separation [of style] from the sound button and full page button. Weird it wouldn't show.) And speaking of the game page, the print upper left (which is still a light grey) will be very difficult to read even in the blue. In the current gray, I quite literally can't read it at all.
