Part of a general update and harmonization with the IBM website, I would guess was a significant reason for the new website.

Why fix what ain't broken? Ralf You beat me to it. I know you can export a monster csv and perform excel operations, but crazy when you just want to know how many days you are away from the next badge [b [u}]Nevermind 9/21 they rolled out this functionality looks very clean Monochrome-like-looking badges (to think some of us were missing borders on some of the new badges!!! We should be so lucky.   [Edit 1 times, last edit by dcs1955 at Sep 21, 2021 2:29:56 PM] |

Why fix what ain't broken? Ralf I know you can export a monster csv and perform excel operations, but crazy when you just want to know how many days you are away from the next badge That would not be the same functionality at all...Monochrome-like-looking badges (to think some of us were missing borders on some of the new badges!!! We should be so lucky. Yeah, the redesign of the badges is the second major failure. Color provides a significant amount of information, those UX folks that thing that "flat"/"pastel colors" are all the rage need to be tared, feather and drawn to quarters....Redesigning the web site in general is all fine and dandy, but it should never be at the cost of basic functionality...

The whole site looks like it was drawn in blue crayon and the badges are sorry excuses for what we already had. The ONLY thing people have consistently asked for is higher level badges, not to have the red and green pixels in their displays made redundant by poor and counter intuitive design. It's not "cool", it's not "trendy", it's not even easy to navigate. [REDACTED TO REMOVE PERSONAL INSULTS]. There was nothing wrong with the old page!

Ha! so I am not the only one.
----------------------------------------Why fix what ain't broken? I would have left it as is and just changed the logos. Maybe because I hate to work  too hard.I Like the My activity over time graphics Forums should be easy to find like on the login icon or left hand menu. "My activity" and the coloured squares give me no information and the streak is only relative to this new site so it is meaningless since I have been here more than 2 days. I presume we all have 2 days showing now. Dark Angel: Why? Because it is "cool" and "trendy" I guess You see this everywhere. No one wants to repair anymore. It's more "artistic" to create something new. [Edit 2 times, last edit by BobbyB at Sep 21, 2021 2:48:56 PM] |

Too much empty space and not efficiently laid out.
----------------------------------------Badges need some color or something to distinguish between the Project it was for. It looks too much like a "Mobile Phone" interface. There are not [REDACTED FOR PERSONAL INSULT]. The WCG Logo is too plain. Someone is not going to give it a 2nd glance to see what it actually is/means. Add some color to it or something at least. Just soooooo much white space!
