    Does anyone who works at BigSoccer know anything about web site design and usability? Anyone there ever heard of https://www.section508.gov/

    This new interface is a hot mess

    Why on earth do you keep making changes when nothing needs to be changed?

    So, yeah, this place is unusable without MyBigSoccer.

    But that's just as well since the current design makes my brain unhappy.

    The update broke My BigSoccer. IT is being fixed.

    I'm patient. You all are doing this for the betterment of the community. And, you're spending a lot of hours and your personal free time doing it. So thank you.

    I wish IT was being fixed along with My BigSoccer.

    How do you change the layout? Can't find it in preferences anywhere. I prefer the fixed width layout, with empty space on either side. This layout with the boxes that go all the way across is painful.

    Or, I can just be patient and assume it will go back to the way I liked it. :)

    Yeah, every "upgrade" you guys do is the same crap over and over again

    Meh, I don't think the upgrades so far are anything to whine about. I haven't encountered any error issues and what little that does bug me is mostly cosmetic. From what I remember about the last couple of upgrades is that it was a work in progress and eventually got to where most of us were good with it.

    Except this wasn't an attempt to make a bunch of changes - the upgrade was badly needed for our functioning. Have a nice day.

    Yeah me neither - but I'm using "watched threads" link in the meantime. I don't use the watched forum links all that often but may not work for everyone.

    I'm just one voice, but I never (or extremely rarely) watch threads, only forums.

    did the US News and Analysis board get swallowed up in the upgrade, or has there been a consolidation with US General?

    No.

    I think it's OK to be critical right now. How does something like this get rolled out without testing it first? (Yeah, I get it, you've upgraded it before and nothing went wrong... but how hard would it be to have a shadow BS that you can try upgrades out on to make sure they work right?)

    not a fan of the full screen. makes for longer, harder to read sentences. plus links are too far to the right, making eye tracking difficult.
    PLEASE add fixed margins!

    Yeah, that's broken too. You have to rewatch the forums you used to watch. Watched threads seems OK though.

    Have you really noticed any difference between them over the last four or five years? :D

    This badly needed upgrade was (and continues to be) very badly executed.

    And thanks. Have a nice day yourself

    This question is for @dark knight or someone and not @JeremyEritrea, but are the Watched Forums going to magically return at a later time or do I need to remember what I was watching and re-watch all of those the forums?

    @Huss @dark knight

    Considering that I got a message to use Taptalk on my phone during the upgrade...
