Two minor issues:

The first is not a bug, but merely a wish: It would be nice, if my criterias on the Transfer List would be saved, untill I either log out, or resets them myself. It is annoying, having to choose the criterias over again, instead of just making a few adjustments. Especially, when you are not that good at remembering which skills are the best for e.g. small forward :-)

The second issue is, under Preferences. The skin colour will not change, regardless what I am choosing - or logging in and out. It doesn't transfer it from the "old" site either. I have chosen grey skin, on both sites, but it remains blue on the new site, but grey on the old.

I think it will be a great site, the new one, with the new nice features.

That's the problem with a long thread - you forget. (Alzheimer light ;-D )

On the other hand, irony can hide the message!

Thanks for the answer :-)

Sorry if this has been asked:

Where are the press releases? I liked that feature.



NEVER MIND! I found it.

I donĀ“t like change, and when such things are forced upon me i have this horrible tendency to whine and complain like a spoiled child.
It is obvious then, that my first impression of this new site was not printable in any way or form, not even using clever words like fecking or turd burglar.

However, sometimes i am actually capable of having a tiny bit of patience, granted it is not often, but still. I gave it a try.
Io and behold, it grew on me. Not in a malicious way like some sort of tumor, but more like the appreciation of a nice pair of ...ah, basketballs.
Yes indeed, i grew up to love them. I mean it, the new site that is.

There are some small issues covered by Svett Sleik and others but even with them i rate the new site as a big improvement on the old one.
We just need to get familiar with it is all.

I like the change, at least it is something different. One thing I would like to see changed is the Headlines on the team page so it can be viewed by people who are looking on their opponent's page. I would put it in the middle above the trophies.

Like the new site.

One question: How do they rank the teams for World Rank and Country Rank? Just Curious.

Are there any information about when it goes to testing for everyone?

After surfing the new site for a week now here are my comments:

Overall layout could surely be better. Big banner windows, too big font size in some places, long dropdown menus (some links are basically doubly on same page). I wish it's more compact and understandable.

Random suggested player is a feature I don't like- when I want to buy a player I go to transfer market. But I think you could make it useful if I could set parameters for suggested player myself?

Short menu on left needs to be over looked. Some frequent links are missing from direct click (Weekly Stats, Schedule). And for example Scrimmages what are not used so often are on main page under BB-mail and also on Manage My Team. It is o.k. to have it just in last place.

Bring back right corner toolbar and make it possible to choose 5 favourite quicklinks from preferences!

Schedule page looks awful. I prefer more modest layout. Add one dropdown menu option where you can choose which games to show: like competitive games, league games, PL games...


I love more stats! Thank you.

Some other new features I like: team rank, player history, league headlines (move it on to league page and possible to see for every league), scrimmages search.

One suggestion for that I missed last Saturday: add to league table overview also some icon or note for teams who's online, similar to Tournaments icon.


Overall I think you are heading right direction. Hearing for users comments is very welcome. I'm sure together we can make the site better:)

Agree with others that the forum is a step in wrong direction.

You both remove the menu with new design and you add the avatar in it. Especially including avatars is something that I strongly disagree with. I think that it takes an awful lot too much space meaning that I will have to scroll even more for no good reason.

Overall I consider the new forum as an improvement but there are a way too big will to add things that makes the pages overcrowded!
