Looks like the game boards are back to normal. I think SBAllen saw the feedback on multiple forums and realized it was a terrible redesign.

My main complaints, copied from another topic:

I really dislike the new layout. But my biggest complaints:

1 - It looks like professional reviews are gone? That's terrible!
No more contemporary reviews from the likes of Nintendo Power, EGM, GameFan, GamePro, Next Generation, Game Informer, etc?! Why take these away?

2 - In-depth statistics are no longer available for Ratings, Difficulty, and Time to Complete. Previously, we could click to see further data on each, whether line graph or pie chart, like this:

3 - When going to a game's page, it was nice to immediately see my ratings for it. Now I have to click the Rate This Game button for my old rating to pop up. Annoying.

4 - The Media section is horrible! Where did all of the screenshots go? The layout of thumbnails per page was great... now it's just a row of select screens that you click to get an over-blown up screenshot and then navigate the remaining screens from there, separated by user?! No good at all. Awful. Change it back, please.

5 - Forums on game pages... now you click the multiplatform game (Zombies Ate My Neighbors, for example) and it brings the user to a page for BOTH the SNES and Genesis. Then you click the Forum button and it brings you to ONE of those console's forums for the game. From there, you can select the other console if you want to see the forum for that version of the game. Not only that, but when on the game's home page the SNES and Genesis boxes up top aren't clickable, but then once in the forum page all of a sudden they're now clickable for the user to select between, but with no visual difference. Too confusing and poorly designed. The previous navigation and layout was far better where you can simply click the arrow at the top for a dropdown menu to go between versions if it's a multiplatform game.

GameFAQs is one of the best gaming databases on the net, so why get rid of data? Also had a superior layout to MobyGames, but not now...

EDIT: Oh, and signatures are gone too?! Sheesh this is getting worse all the time...
