I see the new game area redesign is now online. I've been playing around with it tonight. A lot to get used to. Things I like: New games Updated games Things I do not like: The longer wait between games in which you have to look at an ad for 4 seconds Some of the games are not posting scores yet Too much movement on the page Too confusing |

Disgusting and sloppy/slow. May cancel my AARP membership. Games were all I really was interested in other than political things and since AARP possibly represents the big bidnesses I deplore for the destruction they have caused to our nation, there ain't much there to support. You guys never can leave well enough alone, can you??? I am disabled and games in the morning to focus my mind was all I had here. You took it away with the slick games put out there undoubtedly in order to get bigger and better sponsors and more and more bucks. Can you REALLY call yourselves a not for profit???? I don't think so. |

I have also been playing around with the new game area and agree with the things that Sparkel18 said. One more thing I dislike is that it took away our high scores. |

In Response to Re: New Game Area Redesign: What do you think: I have also been playing around with the new game area and agree with the things that Sparkel18 said. One more thing I dislike is that it took away our high scores. Posted by sjs0548 Yes it eliminated all current high scores unless they were on the leadboard for "all time" highest. The "all time" highest now only shows the highest scores made since the last website redesign which was about two years ago. That was why some people had more than one "all time high" score listed previously. I am finding that certain games that I like to play: Both Crosswords, Beach Suduku and Pool will allow you to play and give you a score but will not list it on the leaderboard. There are no listings for "Today" or "This Week" only for "All Time". I assume this is a "bug" that they will work out. Where is the game "Eggs". I always enjoyed playing Eggs. |

Once again, AARP has made the advertisements larger and clearer and the games smaller and fuzzier. It's time to move to a new game site. Facebook has great games and small ads. There are other sites as well. AARP continues to self-serve instead of care for those of us dumb enough to support them. I'm moving on. |
