glad to help; always look for the underlined words, that's the first sign.

I find it real hard to log in using my phone now, before the update I was logging in 4 -5 times per day when at work... last few days..have been real hard with the screan bouncing around all over the place. I tried once this morning got in after a few goes of wrong user name then wrong password...but not again till i got home.

I am not going to bother with the phone again, just not user friendly anymore.

I like most of the updates you do and especially that they are very frequently. But please change the home site. It even needs scrolling on 1080p, what would this mean to users running smaller resolutions? Also it should not have any moving parts.

by **Agent 86** on Tue Nov 26, 2013 12:59 pm

Yeah and now you have a security breach as well. I went to log in and it said my password was incorrect wich was supposedly saved. Re-logged in as it said it was case sensitive. This is a problem, changing my pass right now.

by **MajorTom 555** on Tue Nov 26, 2013 1:22 pm

@Agent86 iv had that problem too, on my computer and iPhone 4S so im changing it too.
Also i really dont like the new home page... the old one was alright.
Change the home page to something new... and maybe the new update will be perfect!

this, and so many many comments like this one

The new way games are listed in Join a Game and Game Finder is horrible; the way they're centralised.

Also, as Shannon explained, there should be a margin before the menus.

Plus everything everyone has already said.

We appreciate the updates, but the process needs to be more clinical.

Why do you make site updates that are completely incompatible with internet explorer. Granted I use firefox most often, but every now and then ill quickly click over on internet explorer, and now I can not even log in without clicking the scoreboard or something to find the login location.

HA! Remember when there were extensions that could only be used by netscape or by internet explorer?

please clarify your issue, perhaps with a screenshot. what is going wrong the login?

The issue is that it looks shit and childish mate

by **Agent 86** on Thu Nov 28, 2013 1:04 pm

Two previous mods telling you wham that the homepage is a pile of.......( that's an expletive ) . Of course there are many things that you have achieved that are awesome. But and a big but, your homepage screams fix me!! Then the add-ons which everyone enjoys keep getting screwed with each update. All in all keep at it you will succeed.

Regards,

There's no use in you micromanaging every problem with the new design, because the problems aren't micromanagable. Actually there's only one problem: The whole thing.
Because you're doing such an awesome job with everything else, I didn't say anything when that horrible shadow appeared behind the logo (it's a bit 90s). But this now isn't a matter of taste alone, it's also a matter of usability. So please please please:
1. Revert to the old layout (and I mean everything, not just the landing page) as fast as possible.
2. I agree that a visual update would be good for CC, but let it be done by someone who actually knows what they're doing.

Bottom line: Great job with everything else, keep that up. Terrible job on the design, revert and let some pro handle that.

No, the issue is that people thinking design is only about the looks should stay away from trying to design anything.

Yeah, there's no disputing the fact that the front page is really bad. I think in this case it's a matter of listening to the masses and deciding, yes, they are right, let's do something about that. All of the updates are awesome, geez, I mean, so much great stuff has happened recently, there's ironing out to do here and there with bugs, but you guys have been on it and fix them quite quickly.

The front page, that is the one thing we're all pulling apart because it is awful. If a qualified designer did that, I would shoot them lol. However, I know that the person who did it doesn't have a background in graphic design, just by looking, so they did the best that they could. +1 for the effort in trying to create something different, but it doesn't work. Management needs to admit that it's not good for the site and revert while they come up with something better. Get a professional designer's advice. There really is no other way around it.

after a few days i don't even notice it anymore.

by **Carlos Danger** on Fri Nov 29, 2013 10:49 pm

Personally, I think the redesign looks a bit goofy, but that's not a big deal. However, someone made a mistake rewriting the text, which now reads "Conquer Club has taken Risk online, expanding the concept to included over 200 maps." Can that error, at least, be updated?

There is a much bigger error (read: lie) on the new homepage. The claim of over 600 000 players.
