Oh, yay, the dark blue for clicked-on links is much nicer than the teal.

I'm generally a complainer, so I have to praise something every once in a while.

Terry, thank you so much for this fix. The team pages look better too. I really appreciate these fixes.

Just noticed that on the TvT page, when you hover over any link it's highlighted by a black box and the lettering inside changes to white which makes it easy to read.

http://www.funtrivia.com/friends/

But on the Team Heroes page, the lettering inside the box stays blue which is not that easy to read. And if you hover over a link that you've clicked on before then you can't read the letters at all.

http://www.funtrivia.com/heroes/

I think it might be better to lose the black box altogether and just have the links underlined like the way it's set up on the Team message boards.

I know this is still a work in progress, so you probably already know about this or would have caught it eventually.

Thanks Terry, I assume the TvT page will follow the same format when it gets converted over to the new scheme.

When you used to click onto new in a trivia category you used to get the new quizzes in that category but now you just get the full list of new quizzes no matter what category you click on.

This is in the list down the left hand side of the home page.

The Team Heroes page doesn't have the game details any more where it explained the 'rules' and that only the top 5 scores were counted etc. I also can't find the section where it tells you which badges you can earn in that game. Is that on purpose?

Yes, that link that says -

A total of X Challenges can be completed here...

Those are useful to have for each game. Didn't even notice until you mentioned it.

Forgot to ask, are you planning to change these forums to match the new look of the site?

Not super important, but having consistency is usually good.

A minor point, but I've noticed it more than once now typing up the daily roundup... the page gets very laggy when typing long entries for the team message board. So much so that some of the letters start not showing up for several seconds at a time.

This might be a problem on your computer instead of a FT problem. I've experienced the same problem in various programs (Word, Mozilla Firefox, and specific software for the bank) on the computer I use at work.

On the Duel "Your Results for the Today" the green "You Win!" on the mint green background is not as noticeable as before and is less exciting for winning.

I just played the Mixed Game and my score's not showing up - and neither is anyone else's. However, my daily challenges list showed I played it so the problem is presumably just with the scores display.

User of an aging android device here: I am still having major issues with almost all of the updated screens pushing some content into the right side margin/stretching the screen. It was annoying but manageable in most cases of the earliest trial switches but now that the updates have started rolling out in the hourly/daily games it is a major time killer on those.

If nothing can be done about it and this is just some inadvertent conspiracy to get me to convert to a more modern device and/or join the apple empire, so be it as I may have been looking for an excuse to cave on that front anyway wink ...I do like the layout/look when I can get on a PC or other device not experiencing these problems, so I really hate to play the roll of fly in the ointment, but I thought something should be said since the stated impetus for the change was to make the site more mobile friendly overall. It just seems ironic to me that a mobile user is seemingly having just about the worst time adapting.
