i agree. this is the worst update since the addition of comments
This update is great, it's just super buggy and untested at the moment. Once they get everything ironed out over the next few days, I actually think this will make the site better.
People are just used to getting upset at everything Elo does. They've finally done something good by listening to community feedback and completely rebuilding the site.
The site is literally unusable with 50% of features being buggy and Merl_ thinks it's an improvement. How about you test your updates before you publish them? Literally 5 minutes of browsing around will tell you that this new site is worse. The history is nice but everything else is just bad.
Even if the obvious bugs are fixed the site as a whole runs slower.
Obviously the site is not improved yet because of all the bugs. This is why I explicitly stated, in my post, that once the bugs are ironed out I think the site will be better. There are a boatload of new features, bugfixes, and QoL improvements. Aesthetically, this is the best the site has looked since Elo bought it, the leaderboards are bigger, and everything has been redesigned.
Also, the site is only running slowly because the update JUST released and there's a ton of traffic. The devs have said that the site will be back to running at normal speed soon.
I agree with Merl, but I think they could’ve handed out the site to a few beta testers to test bugs and other issues.
bringing the "early access" bug testing method over to websites
It's buggy and imo doesn't really look very good at all, but at least they're trying! right guys
my issue with it is it takes a lot more time to do things that before you could do very easily, why not just add something in the settings to switch between the old and new site layouts?
Might be missing something but you cant tell the last time someone was online now so its impossible to tell if a mod is active or not
