AARP Games: Mega Menu (Website Header)

We just recently introduced our new website header to provide a consistent user interface with the rest of the AARP.org website, improve website familiarity, and increase the speed of page load.

 

The new website header includes the new AARP mega menu on desktop, where you can navigate to other areas of interest on the AARP website. The mega menu is triggered by mousing over the navigational links (e.g. Health, Money, Work & Jobs, etc.) To close out the menu, click on the 'X' located at the top right corner of the menu (see photo below). Moving your cursor outside of the menu will also collapse it.

Will there ever be a solution to the bar blocking the games?

 I try to play Mahjongg and I constantly have to try and center the game so I can see all the tiles. Very frustrating.  Why not make it stationary at the very top?  Even when I hit "Close Menu" I still can't see the full screen.  I thought AARP was supposed to make things easier for seniors, not more frustrating!

now the header not only covers the titles etc, unable to play games. What is wrong with this website? Even after clicking on games (daily, members  only) the site goes right back to the new headings. Unable to play anything.

 To everyone with complaints about the red banner, if all you want is to play the games, I suggest you download arkadium. They have a lot of the same games you find on aarp and no issues to deal with.

wrong arkadium is just as bad. top and bottom of game start moving toward each other until the whole screen and your game are covered

Don't like the menu, it's in the way of games.  Want there to be a way of permanently removing the menu instead of closing it each time you accidently mouse over one of the menu items.  Please remove this new menu or have a way to permanently remove it from those of us users who don't want or need it

Hi @rgreenwell4, thank you for sharing your concerns.  We are actively working on addressing the issue of the expanded menu. Our technical teams are giving it top priority and it is expected the solution will be rolled out this month. Thank you for your patience as the issues are corrected. As more information is available, it will be posted here.

Any updates on removing the banner? You had mentioned the solution would be rolled out by the end of February, but the problem still persists as of 3/17/24.  Maybe just change it back to the way it was before the "improvement"?

 Why don't you just undo it and test a new change before you mess things up. Won't be surprised if you lose customers. Jim

Exactly jimi! Many of us recommended YEARS ago a "beta" test group of volunteers for changes/updates like this but that was ignored...

     Totally unacceptable. It never should have been rolled out in the first place.  Ad Blockers are legitimate add-ons since web content providers cannot protect malware-laden ads from reaching consumers.  By forcing users to turn off blockers you are tacitly endorsing malware.  What;s next - turn off anti-virus?

 The ad blocker never was the problem, just an excuse.

This isn't a fix; it still doesn't work.

Hi @Dreelyn@AlphaKat1@JohnM729645@c407324o -

Thank you for reaching out to share the issues you’re experiencing playing games. We are actively working on addressing two issues, i.e., the red bar and the expanded menu. Our technical teams are giving them top priority and it is expected the solutions will be rolled out this month, as each is available. We know they are paramount to a positive gaming experience. Thank you for your patience as the issues are corrected. As more information is available, it will be posted here.

The red bar on Edge has made playing games mostly unplayable.  I also can never play Lumeno on Edge as not all parts of the game do not display.  I am using an all-in-one computer to play with Windows 10.  That was my favorite game, unable to play for months.  Also, seems to make no difference whether my ad blocker software is enabled or disabled.

It is now July, and the menu issue has not been fixed.  It's obviously not a priority.  I guess web designers keep themselves employed by messing things up and then having to repair them, but, honestly, this is like a highway repair - road all torn up for months and no-one doing anything.  I'm very reluctant to take any advice AARP gives on technology when they seem incapable of fixing something this simple.

Absolute garbage.  On the Android phone, it covers game settings. It cannot be moved or closed.

this flip-flopping menu/banner has made game page nearly unusable- with  games limited to a narrow window- it is not an improvement

 I agree. In some of the games you can't display the full playing field.

The bar on the the Games page does not have the X to keep the menu from moving.
