It took me 10 minutes to figure out how to use it and i HATE It.
I absolutely can't find any games to play now. Finnaly after figuring out i had to press "Expand"to see all games, it takes ages to scroll down through the hundreds of games i play just to see if i want to join the room or not.

Small Icons, Exapand all and i still have tons of scrolling to do. And the problem is that since games open and close i miss games.
I an provide screenshots on how it looks on my screen but its really hard to use.
On the previous game screen i would just look at all the open games and pick whatever i felt like playing from the open games.

Counted them. I play actively and semi-actively exactly 73 games.
And thats only without those that i havent tried yet or are premium and i havent been able to host them.
Really you should add some way to exand all in a much smaller way to at least fit on my screen.

Each time we bring a new change to BGA, many of you are posting comments like "Please get back the old version" or "Please disable it or make it an option". However, we're 100% sure that if we brought back the service exactly as it was existing a few years ago, ALL of you would be pretty disappointed and realize that you actually prefer the current version.
Really, some changes are good, but seeing all the changes, I would really prefer to return everything how was at 2013

Don't argue with him. You can't win. If something has been discussed once years ago and was deemed irrelevant it will stay like that forever. I posted topics about relevant issues but apaprently beause they have been discussed before there was no need to do that anymore. If 1 person on the forums is happy then all are happy apparently. And that person is the one who makes the changes.

Suggestion- Make it so our changes will be saved. I have 24 games in my favorites, all from casual to complex. Sometimes I do not have time for a long game. I like to fill tables and see who is waiting at a table. Many times, I will join a table with someone I know (but not on friend list) because I know they are comparable to my playing level and plans their turns while I am taking mine, or because I know they are pleasant to play a game with. So, the new lobby, I clicked "play now" on each of the games on my play list. This allows me to see all of the games available. However, once I joined a game, the lobby went back to before and I had to click them all open again. Quite annoying. Especially if I jump into a quick game of Can't Stop. Takes me longer to open all of the game tables back up than it does to play the game. I would like to see the game tables stay open, unless you choose to collapse them.
I agree, most times i'm not thinking in a only game and see the open tables to decide, i know most sites use something like new lobby, but i always liked bga because i had more control.

The new lobby with the phone is unbearable. Plus finding a table is a much slower process than before. Being "modern" should not mean losing speed and the previous friendly user lobby

If this goes on why not make it worse.
I bet they gonna like bad suggestions
here is one:
Make a random mode so when players click it they randomly join an open table of their favourite games.

I just have seen now is possible see how much players want to play but cant see who are they, in the games with 90 or 100 players availables doesn't matter, but some games just play 4-5 players and much others have played just once and have the game in favourites, sometimes really isn't anybody to play.
