Site was working great---easy to enter and understand---now its just a really screwed up mess---I'm out until it gets fixed---will check back once in awhile to see how its going
 
All my saved sweeps disappeared and I can't seem to get them back without going through everything and re-saving them. And they wonder why there are negative comments?
 
New format - not liked

I agree, the new format is not a easy to scan across and does not differentiate the categories as well. Everything is too spread out. Please change it back!
 
I understand that it's a big change for everyone. We are working to make some changes. But let me be CLEAR. Do not use the forum for bad language or tirades. You will be banned from the site FOREVER.

Reducing zoom to 80% (in firefox), for me at least, makes the new format a lot easier to get a feel for. Easier to see it as a whole so maybe that will help some transition.

Thank you! It works great and condenses the size to where it used to be.

I'll now be able to see my "post notes" for most sweeps without messing with the scroll wheel
 
Do you know what your screen resolution is and are you on a PC or Tablet?

Great tip on the 80% - any clues on this one? I am sure it's easy and I am overlooking it... I have been a loyal fan and user for many years, but I can't figure out how to save my sweepstakes anymore after selecting them with sweepscheck with the new design. Is it no longer available without a plus membership, or am I just missing something?
 
There is no more saving required. Just click SweepsCheck or Add to My Sweepstakes and it automatically saves.

Another tip about the 80% and as it relates to filling forms. Sometimes depending on if your screen stays at 80%, roboform will fill out forms wrong, so you may have to adjust depending on the site. Seems to mainly be facebook ones for me but my computer generally remebers each pages resolution and returns it to what I select. I don't know about resolution or most computer related stuff. I'm on a laptop, not a tablet.
 
1024 X 768 is my resolution I believe. I'm using my old laptop and it's ancient, if that number seems odd. (the harddrive crashed on my newer and I'm waiting on a replacement.).

I'm using an HP Ultrabook (Solid State Laptop) which I have set up as a desktop. I use a separate keyboard and 20" Monitor. The screen resolution is the recommended 1440 x 900.

The My Sweeps page is reduced in size and each sweep page is full size when I open it.

I'd like the My Sweeps page reduced to the size it was 'cause it's faster to scroll, each listing takes far less room and I can usually read "Post note" without touching the scroll wheel.
 
Honestly as constructive criticism and politely stated...I just do not like the new format. BUT i LOVE SA and appreciate the site, The people and the hard work it takes to keep it running.....But again,,,I wish it would go back to the old format.
 
Yes, I've had to do that in Chrome....reduce the zoom....only way I could tolerate it.Another thing is the winners circle...don't like the way it's set up..too many and not sure what's newest, then it disappears and turns to vote request page before you are even done reading it.Those 2 things I wish would go back the way they were.
 
This slider is used on thousands of sites all over the internet. We are not changing the amount. The latest posts are always on top, just like the old. To stop the slide from changing just
place your mouse cursor over the slide. It will stop changing when you do this.

Please take the time to learn how the site works. All of these changes were done so that everyone could use the site the same way.

Just a simple suggestion--change the COLOR of the sweeps category heading to, lets say Dark red and make the lettering bigger for the heading. As we're scrolling down the page we can see it better to get to that category. With the heading the light powder blue, as you scroll down it is hard to see because the lettering for everything is either powder blue or black.. It makes it hard scroll thru the entire list of new sweeps quickly. I only enter certain category sweeps and this would make it much easier and faster to be able to scroll down to a particular category. Other than that, I think the site is fine
 
We are still working on Bugs and this is already on the list.

Can you tell me what the screen size and resolution is of your laptop? It's difficult to code an test for all these screen sizes. We'll do our best.
