the PINNED Topic thread has message in there from James H. directing dissenters to take THEIR "message" elsewhere :huh:

:huh: I have no idea. All I knew is that james H was telling everyone to state their problems on the pinned thread (when the new site started up)

Yep, I don't like it either. Looks like that themed WordPress and made the site more bloggy. Also, they moved all the pertinent information to places I haven't found yet.

And why do the cheerleaders have a link at the top? That's fine and all, but I care about the guys making millions of dollars more than a view pictures of cheerleaders. Just saying.

I'm with you on that one. I just went to double check the start time of the game tonight and for the life of me I couldn't find the freaking schedules. It just linked me to a news article about the Falcons' opponents. No start times or anything. GGGRRRR!

schedule

Go to the home page and on the bottom left under TEAM click on schedule. It shows a pretty good schedule.

Also at the bottom right look under SCHEDULE.

LOL, this message looks like I'm being a sarcastic jerk, but I'm not. "I can't find the shedule" "Well did you look under schedule or the other schedule?"

You just have to get in the habit of looking at the bottom of the page for things on this new format.

I also greatly dislike the new website. I had started a thread that got shut down because it wasn't what they wanted to hear.

"Closing this thread because the title is not relevant to the subject we need -- which is bug reports. "

I am starting to believe that they don't want to give us what we want but rather what they think we should have instead. :/

folks, there were some huge flaws in the old site design. this one is better, and unless i miss my guys, is evoltuionary on it's way to even better.

I do most of my forum surfing on an iPad and the old site was pretty much worthless on the ipad because so much of it's navigation depended upon Flash. This is better, and I suspect will get even better over time.

Change is hard :-)

I still think the ESSENTIALS should be the first set of links which are shown. Then even the OP of this thread would have found the schedule. I also think they should make those links nicer looking, more buttonish, so the people would understand that those are the navigation. Maybe something like the SEARCH button, basic style, but looks pretty nice.

Actually, when you click on Schedule up there it does not work. It takes you to some articles. You have to click on schedule at the bottom.

I agree that those links should stand out more. It took me awhile to even notice them. I just today noticed you can click on expand and get more information under each of those headings.

It is working OK for me. There are two page results, first results which are shown.

Oh yeah duh, I see it now thanks. I didn't pay too much attention to it because I just clicked on it to see what the guy said he saw in the previous post. When you click on the ones at the bottom they go straight to the schedule so I expected it to do that.

It makes sense that they show it like that since we are having training camp right now, but maybe they should highlight training camp and 2010 schedule to make it easier to see.

Like I said,

The New Format is a Progressive Step Forward.

It just could have stepped in a better direction.

They stepped in something, allright.

This new webmaster says some people love it, some people hate it.

I say most people don't like it, and a few people are trying to get used to it.

He COULD post a poll but I don't think he would like it when he 'browsed the semantics'.

:P

Let me guess... you couldn't load it on your iMac, iPod, iTouch, iPhone, or iPad?

Pity.

He said iPad twice. I don't know why you have to guess. With the expanded coverage, I'm happy with the new site. It's different and I can't get the video to work, but when they get all the bugs worked out, it should be a big upgrade.
