Any one else not happy with the update. The site now looks amateurish and cheap. Please god change it back.

I'll deal with it if they actually enforce the rules they say that they are as part of the changes.

Not really happy with it at frist glance....I'll work with it a while and see if it grows on me.

I haven't had any real problems with it. Like most things new, it will take a bit of time to win everyone over. One or 2 minor flitches, but you would expect that with a new format/ It's not too bad.

Time will tell if it's better or not. I liked the look of the old site better I think. Personally I can't wait to see the photos people use for the profile.

i say you he dead!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't like it at all. Just another disaster brought in by geeks. Must be the same guys who did the "new" version of Bowl.com.

Haven't really used it much, but it looks ok to me. Seems easy to navigate. But there's no pleasing everyone, I'm sure a lot of people would still like to go back to the "Blue Screen Days"

It's growing on me. Hopefully if the site is more moderated many issues will be dealt with. Change is good!

Oh, come on, it's not that bad. I messed around in it a bit last night and it was easy enough to get around - just different. Seemed to be more ads, but in a post in non-bowling the admin said they had made some changes to reduce that a bit (old site still loads where I'm at now). The new site looks different, but I don't see any loss of functionality - in fact they have added more stuff. Work with it a week or two, provide some constructive feedback to the admins for tweaks and to correct minor bugs, and I think it'll be allright in the long run.

The fact is that it is different. It's going to take some getting use to, but after a while we'll forget what the old site looked like. There ARE a ton more features, thats for sure!

So how much they pay you to say that stuff?

There will be a learning curve on the new site for most of us. In the meanwhile, your gonna see a lot of people crying and moaning about bringing back the old SIMPLE site we love and hate so much.

Here at work, I still got the old site, at home I get the new one.

New site features to like.

Looks nicer
More smileys
A lot more editing tools
Formatted Ball reviews
Users can attach photos

Features to hate

Looks cheaper, much too busy with ads
loads a tad slower
Side Borders are too wide - causes more scrolling down page
Too many editing tools - thing looks like a MS Word Menu Bar
Have to sign in everytime I go to site
