Echoing this. with desire for the top level "table" icon to not open the "right Sidebar" but take me directly to bga.com/gameinprogress; pretty please <3.
The redesign is beautiful, but introducing /more clicks/ is a functional detriment.

More Thoughts Edit:
1.) I would love to see a progressive update permit me to choose which of the 4 "pages" I view as default upon initial opening. "Tables, Notifications, Messaging, Configuration" -- ah, nvmd, just tested: it will always open to the page you last left it on..... Mmmn, I'd still enjoy having a "open this one by default" but it's a low priority ask.

2.) Ah, there's a "See all" for Tables, Notifications, and Messages -- indeed I'd prefer those all be brought to the top of their sub-page.

3.) The Tables sub-page only shows 5 tables, to use gmail's display options as analogy, that's rather "Default". I'd love a "comfortable, or compact" option, that would make this sub-page of more value over bga.com/gameinprogress; I run 10+ games routinely and only seeing less than half of my games is of very little value to me. I have friends routinely in 30+, 50+, sometimes 100+ games. Seeing only 5 games has extremely limited value.

I love how pretty it is ! It looks awesome!!

I HATE the new interface: it is modern, but not 'intuitive' or 'meaningful' at all to me.

1. The 'good karma' green blob mkes me think it's an alert that I have games which need action, when I don't. I don't need to see karma at all unless I'm inviting people to games, so it should not be so prominent, but if it MUST be featured here, why not just make the coloured circle around my avatar either red or green to show karma level? (I think it's currently yellow for premium, but this is even more trivial information.)

2, The number of friends online is hard to read: took me a while to realise that was not part of the new icon.

3. God knows what those orange blobs to the left of the friend icon are supposed to represent. Certainly not something I can intuit.

4. I can't immediately click to go to my most urgent game, and when I click on my avatar to see games in play, the interface is far too busy to see information quickly.

5. Putting games that are still looking for players above games that are actually in progress seems really unhelpful.

6. The new colour scheme is too bright and the colours clash. Gives me a headache (literally - I'm a migraine sufferer).

Can we PLEASE have the option to switch back to 'classic' interface?

Agree, words in the top bar telling me I have games that are my turn are way more intuitive than a yellow blob icon that shows slightly differently if I do/don't have turns to take

Le bouton qui amenait directement à la page des tables en cours ouvre maintenant le menu joueur, nécessitant de cliquer une deuxième fois. C'est une dégradation de qualité.

Also, I'm sure that this fails accessibility, because the number are difficult to read with good eyesight. Whereas everything was clear to someone with accessibility issues before

Bonjour,

S'il vous plait, remettez la barre centrale pour les parties à jouer. C'est beaucoup moins visible la...

En plus, on ne peut pas - apparemment - personnaliser la couleur des icones en CSS, ce sont des svg.

Sinon, c'est assez chouette le menu sur l'avatar

Yes, because of the extra text and cluttered look of the pop-up panel, navigating the new interface is definitely much harder on the eyes

I personally love it ! I always had a hard time managing messaging before, it's much better and much easier this way ! Now the whole interface needs a new design ! As usual, people will complain, but they'll eventually get used to it and won't even remember the way it used to be. Just a matter of time and habit !

Agreed, please undo this or make it closer to the way it was. I cant find my games list now.

The games icon where it shows how many games in which it's currently my turn does not stand out and is less apparent than the old yellow alert bar across the page telling me I have turns to play. Maybe putting a red number on it would help it stand out?

I miss having a quick way to go to my games list like others have mentioned. The notifications section of the side menu does not have timestamps when games end like it did previously ("ended 1 hour ago", etc.).

Overall, it seems like more clicks and harder to read.
