What's up with BGG?

Has anyone noticed that the game pages on bgg look completely different, and kind of screwed up?

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion

If I had to guess, it kind of looks like it's presenting the mobile view instead of the desktop view. Or is it just that they've updated their site, and the new update is kind of bad? Or is it just me, even though I've tried it on multiple browsers?

*Edit* Just now noticed that if you click that annoying "feedback" button , it asks what you think about the new page design... so I guess it is a new design. A terrible one. Among other things, there's no longer a "linked forums" section where you can see if there have been any new posts on any Dominion expansions.

It's a long-awaited site update that is slowly rolling out.  Of course it's going to get mixed opinions, but feedback has mostly been positive, afaik.  People who have gotten used to the old layout (especially power users who customized it) are probably going to have a tougher time adjusting.

Oh hey, the site almost looks like something designed in the current millennium now. I might actually start using it once they finish updating everything.

I might actually visit the BGG webzone now. I avoided it before because it looked like garbage.

How would you say it looked worse than, say, this forum?

This forum is sleeker looking. It's got the 'preset' look, but it rocks it pretty well. :)

The linked forums are still there. There's a string of words below the "header"-like area, which start Overview, Forums, Images, etc. I think clicking on Forums will bring up the information you are looking for. Arranged differently, of course.

This forum doesn't have crap tons of useless information fighting for your attention from every inch of the screen.

Apparently the "Linked Forums" bit is yet to come, so barring that my biggest gripe is that the new pages don't work on my main work browser because, like so many work browsers, it's a version of IE that's just a bit too old.

Well then maybe you should GET BACK TO WORK!
