II do not care for the new format for the games. I am also curious about what rules the new Backgammon game uses. It makes moves I have never seen before in the game. As far as I am concerned the programmer for the game does not know the rules of the game. Please bring back the old format. Until then, see you!! |

Posted by jayne47 What's really annoying when I had the finishing area blocked it, the computer, moved the stones down off the middle anyway. Grrr |

Another thing to not like: This morning (around 6:30 AM) I played and made the leaderboard 3 times. I checked each time and saw I was posted. At noon I checked again and all of my scores were gone. I replayed the 3 games and as of a few minutes ago these were showing up on the leaderboard. I've never had this happen before. |

I think the link "More From AARP" should require an actual "click" to activate the drop down menu. I am constantly mousing into it by accident and having the menu drop down just as I click on an item in the leaderboard. Hence I am taken to another page and have to navigate my way back to the leaderboard. When is the "more" link that is under "Top Score" on the individual game window going to activate. I assume it will take us back to the leaderboard as it used to do. It used to be easy to get to the Leaderboard and it is not easy now. What I have done is bookmark the "leaderboard" page and use this link. I also close in my browser window to fit the game while I am waiting for the 5 second ad to pass off the screen. At least the 5 second wait is useful for that. This way I don't have to see all the ads and extra material that I find annoying. |

On my small Mac laptop, the Deja Vu Solitaire cards are now smaller, with such bad resolution that they are unreadable & the game is unplayable. Are the cards readable on other computers? Regular Spider Solitaire cards are OK. |

Posted by lindalba However, on the regular Spider Solitaire game, the cards are completely blocked on longer columns so they cannot be read so it takes more time to find the proper card to move. And why on EARTH can I get a decent score with one deck but can't get out of the 400s in the 2 deck? The leaderboard simply does NOT work and that stupid 'more' key doesn't work, either. |

I hate it! Takes too lpng to load. The font on Deja-vu is difficlt to read. too fuzzy. Ads telling us to take our children to work. We are RETIRED! Our children are grown. They could take us to work. I used to spend hours playing now I spend hours waiting. Change it or I'm out of here. There are other sites more user friendly. |

The new design is maddening. It's not us it's them. Who ever designed the new site ought to be fired. |
