Thanks for explaining how to navigate the new system. Just wish it was more helpful in the first link provided. So anyone else having trouble on mobile, the trick is to use the menu bars to navigate to games, then to categories. Pretty simple after that. The only thing that is funky is the direction of scrolling changes within the category. Function of some of the games are better plus rotation works. Thanks again.

I would have offered the public a Beta testing site of the New GAMES format before unleashing chaos on the general user population.  I am sure a modest sample of Users would have realized this was a fiasco in the making.

Hi, NolaJ! 

This has been suggested so many times over the last decade or so; seems rather than utilize a Beta test group of volunteers, preference is to wait for posts pointing out the negatives and negative impact of changes...

Perhaps when my g-kids join AARP they'll address this matter more positively; we can only hope.

Difficult to navigate. Can’t find the games I like to play. Go back to the old format. 

[Nitropam1967]

This is the opposite of improvement.  Put it back the way it was.  Also, I'm just getting a flashing "loading" on several games.

[JennyHtwk]

Flashing LOADING on most all the games I tried.

[AARPHannah]

Hi @Nitropam1967, what device, browser, and OS are you experiencing the flashing load on? And, what game are you having trouble loading? Thanks! 

[JeaneH313639]

Almost Impossible to find the games I like to play quickly. Takes too much time to navigate and there is no rhyme or reason when searching. Don't see any improvements when I do find a game I want play.

[cw34293]

I pretty much agree with everyone's  dissatisfaction with the

Upgrade to Games Homepage and Category Page. It is hard to navigate and  find the games quickly. The old format from, before all these, "enhancements", was a really good and easy to use, games page. It is very difficult for this old lady to use now. They what me to renew my membership?????

[leahsp]

not crazy about the change.  It's hard to find my games.  Can you create a "favorites" option?

[DaveS271509]

I agree. This was not an improvement.

Hurdle will not load on my computer.

Thank you

For two days now, I have tried to play Bubble Shooter and/or Block Champ.  It says it's loading, but nothing ever comes up.  HELP!

For two days Word Wipe won't load. Gray letters flash "Loading" but never finishes loading.

[AARPHannah]

@PalmDesertDana, I'm very sorry to hear you ran into this issue! Can you please tell me on what device, browser, and OS are you experiencing the flashing load?
