Not liking the new look, having to do too much looking around for things, and the sweepstakes pages were fine the way they were.  It's hard to see where to click for entries.  Also, change for the sake of change isn't always a good thing. One more thing,where is the daily trivia question??

I don't like the new look at all. It is soooo much harder to find the information you want than it was before. I liked having the game rooms right on the first page not having to click on a link to bring them up. I also liked having my top five favorite games there as soon as I logged in. This new page is confusing and not user friendly at all.

Thanks for the comments everyone, we're excited about the new look & feel and appreciate the feedback.

bratface23: You can sign out by selecting "Not You?" next to your avatar on the header.

@lamdas2000: You can find your favorite games on the homepage as a tab on the left hand column with game categories like "Bingo" & "Puzzle". Click "Favorites" and the menu below should change. Hope this helps steer you in the right direction.

If anyone else has any specific questions just let me know.

Good gaming,

Why can't you log out anymore on this site?  It seems to have gone away.  Also, on 3 eye it would be nice if you had the numbers left to go at the bottom of the cards instead of %.

I like the new look, however it would be helpful if the pages remembered what tab you were on each time you return instead of defaulting to the first tab... I prefer the "view all" layout but the page always starts off with the bingo games tab instead.  Likewise on the individual game pages if I want a specific room I have to click the rooms tab, since it always starts with only the descriptions showing.

Also I miss the daily trivia thingy that was on the home page.  Other than that it looks much better though.

Hi, I don't like the new homepage, looks cheap, like someone tried to create the website on their home computer without knowing what to do.  It's not easy to navigate and doesn't really give any information about the games.  If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!!
