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

I'll do a vote. Everyone who dislikes this new UI vs. everyone who likes the Ui.

maybe those that like it won't say it?

plus, get over it, it takes some getting used to it

Why wouldn't they say they like it? I've explained why I don't like it, and now I want to see who agrees. If enough people don't like it, we can see if we can convince Chess.com to change it. I'll only get used to it if I have to, and you saying 'get over it' won't invalidate my points.

I don't like it because it's inefficient, and I'm not whining because a gave a rational argument against it! You're the one who hasn't given a reason for your stance, and now you want to aggressively attack others' stances?!

inefficient for now, get used to it and it becomes efficent

i am not attacking, i am pointing out the obvious

Nothing is obvious if it has two valid points of view.

Um................. okay, if you say so.

bruh in the new interface you can't get forums without having to actually typing it in the URL, there's  no button that can take you automatically to the forums

I can understand that. I see they have been going that way with their designs and it is cohesive, but I will need a little time to get used to the font and animation. However, the efficiency of the layout is simply terrible in my opinion. I guess I'll put you under 'like.

Hover over social, and there is a forum button.

efficiency is terrible I agree but I'm tolerant of it. Too bad it's harder to see messages now.

alphaous

Yeah the messages are a pain now.

I haven't experienced it, but hearing the rumors from this forum thread, I'm still indecisive about the new interface.

from my view this is the new interface, not much changes except navigation and playing

I Like

That is nice, but how do you feel about home and today being merged and messages being harder to find? If you don't have a problem with those then I'll put you in 'like.'

alphaous

So, tolerant?
