This could have been good if the whole thing was designed well.The whole interface looks backwards and out of place.The design looked like something from the nineties.

Edit:
It's just not eye pleasing i would rather look at the my games section which has good look and fonts and everything than the awful way the dashboard isAnd lets not forget the awful boot time on top of the image of each game.

It changes things. I don't like it. I'm going to insult you for improving this very enjoyable free game in a way that is not exactly what I would have done if I were you.

I love this

I love..

wtf

they got rid of the setting, "Active Games where i am not eliminated"

why the F*** would i want to see games where i am elimianted????

CHANGE IT BACK!!!

personally, if i want to see lot of stuff i go to the dashboard, if i am only interested in games, then i go to mygames tab, not sure if other people are just hating on change or something or if they genuinely do not realize they can do this lol

@fizzer - i like this new idea, i think you are trying to cram a little too much onto the page though, you are shifting the equivalent of what would normally be 3 pages, onto one, without an option to hide one of them.

i think this can work quite nicely given tweaking and some time :D

I play Warlight in sessions, usually after school and on the weekends when I wake up and when I go to bed, and this really helps me save time. Great update!

My only complaint

*THE KERNING IN WL STAFF IS OFF*

The dashboard could use work, but it seems wiser to put that on the homepage rather than cluttering it into the games display

I like some of the additions, such as the icons that inform about the settings. However, I do think there are some things that can be improved upon.

• I think you should handle "My Games", "Promoted Games", and "Open Games" as tabs similar to how you have four ladders on the Community Dashboard. This way you don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the Open Games.
  
• I agree that the old black square is much better than the new dash to show who hasn't yet played.
  
• If this page is going to replace the "My Games" and "Open Games" tabs, then you definitely shouldn't remove filter and sort options. I personally don't like the sort order that is currently used, and would prefer to be able to sort by the created date, and I believe there may be a few people who prefer some other filter settings. ;)
  
• It seems that it would make more sense to have "My Games" in the left column, and the blog/forum posts in the right column, since that's what most people will be coming to this page for.
  
• The whole row for the game should be clickable, not just the name and the map.
  
• It would be better to have "Boot time 3 days" right aligned in the game's row, rather than superimposed over the map. Just seeing 3 days doesn't obviously tell you that that is for the boot time.
  

On the whole, I think it is a positive update if it encourages more people to stray into the forum and the real-time ladder, but it needs some tweaks if it is going to fully replace the "My Games" and "Open Games" tabs.

i like your suggestions beren! :D

I like the icons under Open Games, as a quick way to see the settings. For games I'm playing, however, they're largely just clutter--it's not like I need to know the card or luck settings of a game I'm already in.

I'd rather see icons under those games for things that would actually be useful to know, e.g.:
* An icon indicating that I've been booted/surrendered and am being played by an AI
* An icon indicating that there's a pending surrender request
* An icon I can mouseover to see each of the boot options (vote/direct/auto)

I think being able to see the direct boot time limit is a big improvement. Would be interesting if one of the view options was for games in which someone was bootable.

Actually, the viewing options are probably best done with toggles: allow selection from a list of what games you want to see (e.g., games where it's my move, games with unread chat, games with unread private messages, games with a bootable player, etc.)

As has been noted by others, the dashes are much less aesthetically pleasing than the dots were.

Overall, I look the concept of the dashboard, even if I'd like to see some refinements.

SUMMARY OF COMMENTS:

GOOD

It shows we actually have a forum and a blog.
The next games tab is useful.

BAD

We lost the "active games where I am not eliminated" option, which is arguably the most useful.
The Dashboard is too crowded.

(please tell me if i have missed anything)

You missed the part where people come and make demands instead of suggestions when they have done nothing but take advantage of Fizzer's FREE (completely free at that) flash game and offer no suggestions as to how it could be better. Simply "give me my stuff now or else"

You missed the part in social class about not being smug :)
Now that I have my insult aside, most people here ARE giving suggestions. Even Noncasual Jimmy gave an acceptable solution: Get rid of it.

Oi, I suggested something logical: bring back a specific setting that most people seem to use.

Even Noncasual Jimmy gave an acceptable solution

Really? So this is acceptable?

why the F*** would i want to see games where i am elimianted????

CHANGE IT BACK!!!

Yes, it's an acceptable solution, to get rid of the Dashboard tab. I'm for it, although there are slightly better solutions.

It's not acceptable, and that's because of the tone and manner he presented it in.

Picky, picky Peter, pricked pickles with pills.
(Just thought of that)

The new layout of the dashboard is utter rubbish, Its untidy and confusing, I don’t read the forums nor do I care for them, It should not be on the dashboard, I don’t even get the “Create Game” or “Tournaments” menu anymore,

I don’t read the forums nor do I care for them

I am honest, this is a bit of a troll comment, but what do you think you are using.
