I would love to see the data on response time following this update. My guess is that it has increased rather dramatically. It will probably go down over time. Possibly due to people leaving out of frustration. However, without a clear turn notification message, I can't see it returning to normal.

This will wreck a lot of 24-hour fast tournaments.

I agree that some site-wide announcement should have been made explaining this change.

I'm glad to hear that support will be given to those of us engaged in multiple turn-based games so it becomes more obvious when it is our turn. The rotating box triangle on the browser tab is helpful. I do think that changing the orange table icon color (maybe even just the color of the circle that holds that number of tables where it is my turn) would be even more helpful.

Ideally, I'd like to leave open my list of tables and when it becomes my turn, get an audible notification in addition to the rotating box triangle. That would get my attention, and I could then open up the relevant table to act.

When working on huge change like this, it is difficult not to miss something, and this is why we asked for this feedback.

As many of you reported this, I would like to confirm that there is an issue to notify clearly when it is your turn to play on a turn based game. We are working on a solution for this (among other other things you reported), so you can be assured it is going to be fixed.

Why not just bring the banner back? Everyone loved it, it was super clear, and it worked great on mobile.

This looks great and is an improvement, but I find notification that I have a table waiting is harder. Can you make the number of tables red on the yellow icon or something like that so I can tell at a glance? The previous banner did that quite nicely.

Merci d'avoir corrigé la liste déroulante des tables en cours sur Android

Edit : ha non, en fait il y a toujours le problème du scroll impossible et de la fenêtre 'profil' qui ne se ferme plus.

Not loving the recent changes.

- where is the control to view the list of all open games I am in? This was my single most used control and now it is a hassle to find and choose what game i want to take a turn in. The default action of the table control (taking me into one of my open games) is not what I want.
- page seems to be a memory hog now? Leaving the site open overnight and it was taking a ton of memory and had to be force-quited. Possibly unrelated but are you sure there isnt a newly introduced resource leak?
- Notifications seem to not be working anymore?

It is a step backwards.

Avis très négatif me concernant pour les modifications apportées à la page d'accueil ;
- inesthétique
- difficile de savoir que c'est à son tour de jouer (alors que c'était clair dans la version précédente)
- nouveautés qui n'apportent rien (dans le cadre de ma façon de jouer)

Une demande : marche arrière ou évolution pour corriger les deux premiers tirets.

Not a fan - it's not as easy to see I have turns remaining compared to the banner we originally had.

The icon is not as easy to see and the number next to it is not as easy to see.

The banner was clear.

Also, I don't like the font and spacing on the profile. It's not as clear and I cant' see as much information on the page.

I'd rather revert to the previous version.

Would have been nice to have been warned and been given the option to try it out and revert back to my preferred layout without having it forced on me.

If this change is supposed to be a step toward making the site navigation more intuitive, sorry to say that you've taken several steps backward.

The biggest problem, as many previous posters have noted, is the muddled bar. It has too much information. This previous display is clear, concise, and allows someone to easily navigate to a waiting table. I shouldn't have to scroll through a lengthy list of all my games to determine whether it is my turn.

I've already had people with whom I am playing vent frustration at not being able to find tables or know when it's their turn.

Newer isn't always better. Like others, I would support a return to the previous display format.

I like the new friendlist icon and the player menu, but I have some issues as well with the new table icon..

The table icon *sometimes* glitches out for me, it just disappears and I have to refresh the page to get it back.

Also, as many have pointed out, the table icon is harder to see and looks very busy, especially with the number next to it (which is also harder to make out and I preferred numbers >9 to show up versus the '+').
