Howdy!

As you may have noticed, we just pushed out an update to the Boards that updated the Navigation bar at the top of the page to match that of the Leagueoflegends.com homepage. This is to provide a consistent experience across the whole site.

Let us know if you encounter any issues. Thanks! Caitlyn

revert this now.

I hated the change to the home page, and this is even worse. Now I can't go to the dev tracker at all. Previously you increased the number of clicks I had to make because of your stupid change. Now I can't get there at all.

Hello, yes, I kind of liked my drop down menus? Please?

What's the point of having the news subsections if it's darn near impossible to access them? Please put in drop down menus again, please. I beg of you.

Point of reference: I used the Red Tracker as my main page for League BECAUSE IT HAD DROP DOWN MENUS.

I don't understand why the initial goal was to implement a less functional navigation bar on the main page. I was glad the Boards team had some sense and kept the one that actually had basic functionality like dropdowns and actual specific navigation, but apparently that's no longer the case.

I'm aware this is harsh, but the new nav bar is not only less visually appealing (subjective) but it's less functional (objective), which is literally the entire point of UX as a discipline.

Site navigation from the home page was not nearly as good as from the (now old) Boards page. Why do I not have dropdown menus from them?

So, is there no way to filter news by patch notes now?

I think you need to make it more clear what board I’m on, it seems the only way to see if I’m on the EUW or NA board is by looking at the browser search bar.

WTF did you guys do! You screwed it up... please revert NOW.

And I agree, Red Tracker at the top, easier to find.

Bookmarking it is a fail solution.

This sucks... why do you guys insist on making everything worse & worse with the Boards.

still doesn't take me to my updates when I click it. Only takes me to the boards main page, been having this problem since boards started. Every once in a blue moon I get taken to my updates but its months in the interim where it doesn't work.

Seriously have the notifications about replies totally gone? also no way to check your own post history?

Vistha Kai6/27/2015, 7:32:56 PM1 votes

I assume there is no going back now, so I have a suggestion.

#Can you make Notifications and New Replies buttons more visible?

Right now they look as if were behind a dark glass or something and numbers on both are so darn small I can't make out if there are 3 or 5 responses.
