well it depends on the browser, but somewhere in a privacy or security option tag there is an option to clear cookies.

This is minor compared to the login problems.
But frankly I've never gotten to like to the new navigation and the principle behind it strikes me as silly.

If I were to use the new system, I'd need two clicks to get to the training page. I'd also need two clicks to get to the U21 page.

What I do instead simply clicking "Long Menu" and then finding my options there.

It is still two clicks, but the difference is that the first click is common to both actions and I don't need to remember which sub-section of the site takes me to training vs. the U21.

In fact, if only you'd allowed us to set Long Menu as default, I could do all this with just one click.

Everything else in the site is very cool.


I'm with Coco on this. The new redesign reminds of what people say about Peoplesoft at work - everything is only 10 clicks away :-)

Common actions should be one click away. Also, the options in the "secondary" menu are not consistent and force you to either use the back button or open everything you click on in a new tab/window (try browsing multiple players on the transfer list, the player details page is a dead end.)

Also, the threads seem to reorder themselves each time I read one in the new forums.

okay i have finally fixed the long menu save feature, so now you should only have to select it once.

let me once again make our argument for why we went to a two tiered navigation system.

We felt that as the game continues to expand, and features were added, it was tough for naive users to make sense of all the links on the left hand side and organize them into any coherent framework. We understand experienced users don't have this problem and they know what they want to do and where to do it, but at some point we are going to have so many pages that having a single menu doesn't make any sense, and is actually quite confusing. So, we have come up with a framework that organizes the information into different categories, hoping it would make the site's layout more intuitive to new users. And please, it is in most cases just 1 extra click, not 12, so lets not exaggerate. Now that the memory feature works though, its no matter, if you don't like it don't use it.

Allow the user to add 3-5 links to the top of the menu?

They open in a new tab but that is really the only way to look at player pages since the options in the secondary menu are so few, it is basically a dead end.
