BallHype's New Look

You may have noticed that BallHype has undergone a slight facelift. Yup, we’ve updated our look. Here are some of the highlights that might help you navigate through our refreshed design:

• Story clustering will bring multiple perspectives to a news topic. Now you can compare all angles on the big stories.

• The voting mechanism has been updated. Down voting still exists; you can find the link next to comments just below the story text.

• In an effort to streamline site navigation to focus on core news categories, we have eliminated the Games and Community tabs. You can now find Games in the right sidebar of the home page and you can still find your groups and create new ones through your profile.

If you have any questions about the new design or need help navigating around, we’re always here to help!

Best,
Robyn74

    I like it a lot. Going to take a little bit to get used to, but it's definitely for the better I think.

    I agree with Sharapovas.  I kind of wish we could still see how many people link the story on the front page without having to click on it.  Overall, I like it though.

    I like it as well, but how do you get to your groups?

    I am kind of lost when it comes to that.

    It looks a lot more bulky and unwieldy.  The hype arrows are kind of, well, plain.  On the plus side, much better use of images.

    What happened to the games tab? I found it easier just to click on the games tab to put in my predictions. I'm not sure if I really like the new set up.

    Did you guys find the games window? You should be able to see it on the right hand side of the home page just under What's Popular This Week.
