Do not like the new designs. The cards in Deja Vu are almost impossible to read - did you forget your clientel is older? Where is the old Majongg Gardens with clear symbols? Why change what is working well? Oh, and Backgammon cheats. |

Horrendous!!!!!! The layout is not bad but the time it takes for pages to reload is significantly longer than before. Hollywood Solitare all of sudden is significantly harder. It no longer is pleasurable to just play some games for a short period of time. I don't think I will be using this part of the website anymore. If the rest of the pages on the website also have the loading delay problem then I might have to reconsider my membership. |

EGGZ and Mah Jongg Garden were 2 of my favorites. The M.J. Garden has such small fuzzy tiles - UGH!! And the score situation is just a mess! New is certainly not always better - again we see this. Bummer... |

I absolutely want the old Mah Jong Garden back. How dare they call it the same? It isn't. Whoever thought up this new arrangement is not thinking of the people who use this site. I am so upset that they have just dumped our scores!!!! I play many of the games on AARP. Most are very small now. This is AARP just not caring about us. When will you @ least bring back Mah Jong Garden??? |

I really dislike the new design for several reasons: (1) you are forced to watch the 5 second ads before each game (2) high scores are no longer available (3) the website has crashed several times since the redesign has been introduced (4) I loved EGGZ and it's no longer on the site. Why? Ingrid

OMG! What's happened to Pyramid Solitaire? I was addicted to that game but it's the easiest habit I've ever had to overcome. I've tried it several times but I don't like it. And where is Eggz? I've pretty much moved on to other game sites where I don't have to read an ad between each game. This is not a good change for us gamers! |

Very disappointed. You did again. You finally brought back the old word search, only to change it again. I thought an organization like AARP would realize that older people are not that happy with change. Yet we got the Pillsbury word game, which finally went away. You brought back the original game back. Now it's gone again. It would seem if you wanted to make a change, you could add more/or change the categories for the old one. The graphics alone on the Word Search 2 game sre atrocious. Hopefully soon............ |
