You can turn it off without leaving Beta? Because if you can I would like to.
Thoughts on the New Interface? (I hate it)

It's weird...Also, leaving Beta won't help, if they really are going to keep it for all members soon then we might as well get used to it.

I guess. I don't get merging home and today. It just makes things more complicated.

I just realized that clicking Chess.com doesn't take you to Today anymore and I am even more disoriented.

Not to me, I like to check it every day and going to News was less efficient. It just doesn't make much sense to me to change it.

Lol, same. I used to be able to navigate the interface with my eyes closed, and now I am going to be doing puzzles when I want to play, and going home when I want news. And now the forums are harder to access!

I also don't like merging messages and alerts. Messages are often redundant club alerts, and when they aren't, then it is really something that is different from alerts. Not to mention once you finished checking all of your alerts, you can still have that confusing one until you check that message. All in all, I don't think mixing private message alerts and public forum and club alerts is a good idea.

Yeah, I think this was a miss by Chess.com. But some people like this and I'm still curious as to why.

AHA! It's a ploy to get more people to play when they think they are going home, but instead, we are put in the play area if we are not paying attention. Luckily, I have totally not fallen for this trick.
I hate that theres no dedicated home button

Is anyone else annoyed with the new interface? The look might take some getting used to, but I'm really bothered that it merges home and Today, meaning my alerts are harder to see and my messages are no longer separate from alerts, which has already confused me this morning! Also, features that I used to often use such as Library and Explorer are in More. While this is a mild annoyance to me, someone who is less familiar with the site might be more inconvenienced. I could go on, such as on how it feels less intuitive, and other smaller points, but these were my main problems. What are your thoughts on the new interface?
I dont know what developers were thinking, I really hope they dont release out of beta

EDIT: The new interface has been officially released site-wide. What are the thoughts of the non-Beta members? I'm doing a vote so opinions are appreciated!
