Cleaning House! (Edited 04/08/10 01:39AM by Jess)
Once upon a time, a sports website was formed. This website included polls, site blogs, team "leagues", RSS news links, and forums for people to roam about and talk to their friends and fellow fans about sports. It also included a place called the "Hangout" (later re-branded) that served as a water cooler, for people to discuss anything non-sports related. In the short years following the launch of the site, users asked for videos, photos, trivia, and quizzes, to name a few things. They were heard. Several different changes were also made to accolades and ways that people could earn points, trophies, and medals.

Before even trivia came along, however, people were asking for fantasy sports, or a way to "bet" or otherwise spend their points. After much deliberation it was decided that these things should indeed be a part of the site - and so they were. Naturally, they became the most globally popular features all with die-hard users, casual site visitors, and brand new members.

Now we're changing things up a bit. Don't be scared, this isn't as dramatic of a change as the Season 2 makeover - this is just cosmetic. As with any fairly new site (remember, FanIQ is only a baby in relative internet age, at 4 years old) and even well established ones (Facebook is over 6 and isn't a niche site), the only constant is change. You've undoubtedly noticed that the site has been changing a bit - it does that from time to time. This most recent shift has been toward Fantasy and Playbook as FanIQ becomes more of a social gaming site. Since the homepage is a global landing page, we need it to be as clean and free from confusion as possible. So, since Playbook and Quick Fantasy have become so popular, we are putting them front and center to give users and new visitors easier access to those games.

Everything you have come to know and love about FanIQ will still be here, but it will be a little more difficult to find at first. What I would like to do is make this transition easier by providing you with the URL's so that you can bookmark them and have them easily available to you until you get used to the new navigation. I've provided you with some examples below of things that might be more difficult to find (no the Locker Room is not one of them) when we make this change within the next couple of days - but if there's anything else that you can think of that you want to make sure you don't lose or don't understand why they're gone, please let me know in the comments and I'll get you the link or answer.

Things that will be easy to find:
Quick Fantasy
Playbook
Trivia
Quizzes
Pick'Em
Polls
Leaderboard
Locker Room
Profile

Please post any questions you may have in the forum or send a message to me or one of the moderators and we will be glad to help :)

Seems to me there's an over-reliance on "Bookmarking".  I've never been into bookmarking, and I seldom add anything to my favorites, because when both were introduced to the internet I did it so much it jus crowded my browser.  I prefer to simply be able to traverse a site through a "Site Map"

Y'all could end "Everyone's" and "Anyone's" misery of traversing this site if you simply had 1 true header ... or if you had all the links stuck down in the footer ... or create a left nav, right nav, or even 'floating' nav bar that we can move .... or simply create one Hotlink to a "Site Map" with all the links we could possibly ever want.

Not having the Friend Feed there right away will definitely suck...but overall, if it's a "cleaner" look, I'm cool with it. It still has Locker Room, My Profile is the same, and games are up front...

Also, no BoW will suck, but that's consistently been going down for a few weeks now.

If you submit a hotlink or news article, just link it to anyone with a pencil (myself included).  I really want desperately to keep the Best of Web as current as possible with as much new news on it as we can.  I patrol the blogs to see if there is anything that should be featured there and do so.  However, the hotlinks are not as easy to patrol.  Just remember when submitting a hotlink not to just put in the link and "oh wow this is cool" or "she rocks" or some such thing.  You need to provide a couple of lines of intro so we have an idea of what the link is about.  Also, feel free to offer YOUR opinion of what you are posting - it garners more discussion and makes for a topic with more views.  Catchy titles also grab more views. 

If you have any questions, just ask anyone with a pencil next to their name - that indicates they are a featured writer on the site.

Exactly.  We have been patiently waiting for some kind of news on whether we would be getting respects changed to include some of the previous actions, or at least more than 10.    Did I miss the announcement?

Now all of a sudden, I see the big splash of the new home page featuring the games, with none of the news on sports (or links to them).  Hopefully that is fixed soon?  Looks pretty, but give me a road map.

I realize that the home page should be organized to load up quickly and provide access to all the other pages, but before you publish the new home page, you should have had all the links in place.

Yep, you will - all that is still there.
After you create a poll, you're taken to the page where it confirms creation, and this is on that page:




If you forget somebody, or you find another poll you want to challenge your friends to, you can click "Email Poll" at the bottom of any poll and it will take you back to that same page:

This change seems incredibly dysfunctional to me, why can't i get to any of the sports apart from the main ones anymore? when I go to 'more sports' i can no longer pick one, random articles just appear, many of them very old. MMA is no longer a main sport on here either. It seems incredibly difficult to get to articles anymore at all, are there even any new articles being written? or is this site now entirely playbook, polls and quick fantasy?

I guess I'm not in the majority since I don't care for Playbook at all.  Making the homepage "cleaner" has in reality made it more difficult to navigate.  I had to add bookmarks to my browser for BOW, submitting articles, and my inbox, when before this all I had to do was click on the appropriate tab.  I loved the last change, but this one was completely ridiculous.

yeah I can't even find articles anyway, the only articles I can find are all from months ago, it appears they are all the 'recent' articles with the highest comment count. I can't get to any of the 'other sports' at all and it appears articles have pretty much ceased to exist, this isn't a cosmetic change at all. It basically changes this site from a discussion site with a playbook and quick fantasy on the side to a playbook, quick fantasy site with some poll discussion on the side.

I think you're right that the emphasis is changing a bit, but it seems to me that it still IS cosmetic since everything (as far as I know) is still here, just have to learn a new way to actually GET to it.  I know James posted some helpful links on the Filter Error poll earlier...

If I have to weasel around and memorize links to get to article pages,where no one else is commenting or posting any more because of this change anyway then this site is essentially completely dead because of that 'cosmetic' change. Virtually all discussion apart from on polls like this and on some articles in those big sports (even those articles are all messed up and disorganized) is dead because of that 'cosmetic' change.

Also, why was MMA removed from the main sports tab? is it now really at the equivalent level of HS cheerleading?

Social gaming site?  Call it what it is...no longer about sports...more geared for money.  It used to be about the fans...hence the name.  I am very disappointed in this approach but I also understand the business aspect.  Fantasy Sport gaming sites come and go...FANIQ with its original format (and members) was a mainstay.  Thumbs Down to the new approach...

yeah I can't even find articles anyway, the only articles I can find are all from months ago, it appears they are all the 'recent' articles with the highest comment count. I can't get to any of the 'other sports' at all and it appears articles have pretty much ceased to exist, this isn't a cosmetic change at all. It basically changes this site from a discussion site with a playbook and quick fantasy on the side to a playbook, quick fantasy site with some poll discussion on the side.
 I absolutely loved the last homepage, because it showcased everything that FanIQ had to offer right there.  I'm not concerned with what aspects of the site are more popular, the previous layout on the homepage showed why we're different than every other sports site on the internet.

I don't know if I am missing something that is right in front of my eyes, but where are the fan articles and hotlinks? I miss the previous version... everything you needed (including a big section for playbook/quick fantasy) was right on the homepage. I know this new one will take some getting used to, but I think that the Faniq people have our best interests in mind.

But if the only way to get to the article and hot link locations (which still show old and sporadic results) is to type in a URL that you posted on this one poll (which thanks to the new navigation of this site only a few people besides moderators seemed to have found) then surely you can see how virtually all new articles and discussions won't happen. Just by making it so difficult to find, you destroy any chance of anyone actually looking at them, convenience gets users, having to navigate every page through memorizing or bookmarking a thousand URLs does not.

Please pay attention to these salient points!  The last change reduced my use of this site by approx. 75%. If the whole thing becomes nothing more than " Sports Fantasy Casino " then I know I & many others will cease to have ANY reason to be on here. Why can't you add a pull down sports tab that people can access from their profile page?? That would seem to solve the problem without cluttering up the "Exalted Homepage."  Please respond to this post & let us know if something will be worked out.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I thought the blogs and BoW and such were a thing of the past since it can no longer be found on my page or the main page.

I will repeat what I have seen over and over regarding this...  If regular users can't find this, how are new users ever to know such things even exist? 
If I came across this page without knowing what was in it....  And I saw that fantasy and betting home page...  I would never return as I have zero interest in sports betting or fantasy leagues.  I enjoy the polls, blogs and comment threads more than anything else.

To sum up...  The changes made regarding site navigation were HUGE mistakes.

Wow....

The main reason I come to this site is so that I can discuss sports news without my posts getting lost in the clutter of 1,000's of comments (like on ESPN, CBSSports, etc.).

I'm glad I can still get to the team pages, but wow that is some incredibly difficult navigation. And yeah, if people like those of us who have been using this site for a while have a hard time finding it how is any new user going to find it?

It seems like with this new set up the death penalty has been given to the "Best Of" page and the Team pages.

It appears the moderators have zero interest in addressing the complaints of there most reliant and clearly persistent users. Too busy giving out shout outs and creating polls like 'what happened to my fanny' ( I kid you not, I don't normally do this or even view other people's profiles but since it appeared we were getting no response I checked out jess's 'my activity page' and that is exactly what she did today and yesterday) I suggest that you all do like me, and bombard her and other moderators responsible for this change with messages since they refuse to reply on here. (although i've gotten no response there so far either)

Hi Alex,
I apologize for not getting back to you in this poll, and creating the "Where's my Fanny" poll when you felt my time would be better served reading through these complaints, but I had to address that issue as well; it's a consistent weekly poll I usually make that I wanted to notify the regular LR users wouldn't be made until I can get some polls together for the contest (I'm not sure if you clicked the poll to see what it was about or not, but most people here will be able to tell you). I did what I could within my power to help in this poll by collecting some URL's that everyone might find useful.

I also apologize that you are not happy with the current changes but please understand that neither I nor any of the moderators are responsible for these changes. I will admit that there are some changes that even I am going to take some getting used to, and I would like to see the Best of the Web up front and center still too, but the changes were made for a reason. Playbook and Quick Fantasy are the most highly popular areas of the site, and FanIQ needed to simplify the front page. One of the biggest complaints we receive from people upon coming to the site is that it's overwhelming and confusing. As often as this site changes, it's quite possible that the blogs will once again make their way to the forefront; it just depends on what works and what doesn't. I know that there are a lot of people who feel that the blog is the bread and butter of FanIQ but let me assure you; we have more active users participating in the games than we have had reading and participating in the blog. I understand your concerns and I truly understand and can sympathize with some of the frustration here. However, this is a continuously growing and changing site. People a lot higher up on the chain than I am are the ones who make the final decision in the changes made on this site. While I can relay the community reaction (which I have, and continue to do), and make suggestions, ultimately I don't have the final say on anything navigation or design wise.

Please do not bombard myself or the other moderators with complaints about the new setup; there's nothing that any of us can do. We don't mind addressing concerns and helping where we can, and giving you someone to vent to, but trying to address a plethora of messages about the same thing, which we have no control over, takes us away from other work we have to do. And trust me, my job consists of much more important things than giving shout outs and making polls...I squeezed the "Fanny" poll in with the very few free moments I had between taking care of several duties and responsibilities.

Thank you for that Jess.  As most anyone who knows me knows, the Best of Web is my favorite part of the site BY FAR, and although I understand the changes and the reasons for them, I will continue to spend the majority of MY time trying to make sure the Best of Web is as current and interesting as it possibly can be.  If anyone has an article or hotlink they feel is relevent and belongs on the Best of Web, I invite you to link it to me in a message.  I will continue, along with the other moderators, to do my best to make this site the best it possibly can be.

I didn't mean to be insulting in any way, it's just annoying to have a list of people on here all giving complaints and to have them ignored in favor of....dare i say, less important polls? It was a little bit of an overstep but it was annoying to not even receive a 'we're working on it' reply. But I realize you must be busy with the new changes and again, didn't intend to be mean about it.

There are literally none of the moderators even remotely responsible for these changes? well that does make things more challenging, I suppose it was optimistic of me to think otherwise anyway.

I have no problem with the changing of the basic homepage or regular pages, to be honest I think most of us would just be happy if there was a clickable tab (maybe from your profile or elsewhere) that would lead you to the bloq part of the website, and that when you click under articles for the sports currently up there, it gives you recent articles. Maybe an 'articles' tab that would lead you to these links in clickable forms, doesn't need to be front in center or anywhere taking away from the games at all.

Also, on probably a lesser note, why was MMA removed from the main sports tabs?

Well, seeing as you responded and it appears that my hopes that one or two moderators on here ran the website completely was wrong, I obviously will cease any 'bombardment of messages' that I may have been instigating.

the Link for the Best of Web - the Articles and Hotlinks page was posted in my message - I've had to add it to my browser favorites in order to readily find it, and suggest that may be the best way for you to find it as well.  Am I happy about this? No, but the site is changing, and this is one of the necessities of the most recent change.

...it was annoying to not even receive a 'we're working on it' reply... - unfortunately, "we're working on it" wouldn't have an accurate reply because we are unable to make any changes anyway. Creating this poll and giving a list of popular destinations on the site was as much help as I could give, within my power. Maybe I should have made it more clear that I do bring concerns back to the FanIQ team that the community has and we take things into consideration according to the reaction. I can't promise that things can be changed back because there is are a lot of die-hards who want things to stay as they were, but I can bring up some good points that are made and maybe bring a few things back that make things easier for everybody.

"There are literally none of the moderators even remotely responsible for these changes?"
- that is correct.

Also, on probably a lesser note, why was MMA removed from the main sports tabs? - I'm not sure what you mean here - actually all of the sports tabs were removed, and MMA is in the same place it has always been (under "Featured Sports") for any content when you create it and for searching through sports for Quizzes, Trivia, and Polls in the drop menus. As for the tabs at the top of the page under those, I'm not sure why it was removed; I know that we can only fit a certain number and we keep those sports up there that have the highest number of fans that have those sports listed as favorites.

I hope this answers your questions - let me know if I've missed anything :)

As often as this site changes, it's quite possible that the blogs will once again make their way to the forefront; it just depends on what works and what doesn't. I know that there are a lot of people who feel that the blog is the bread and butter of FanIQ but let me assure you; we have more active users participating in the games than we have had reading and participating in the blog. I understand your concerns and I truly understand and can sympathize with some of the frustration here. However, this is a continuously growing and changing site. People a lot higher up on the chain than I am are the ones who make the final decision in the changes made on this site. While I can relay the community reaction (which I have, and continue to do), and make suggestions, ultimately I don't have the final say on anything navigation or design wise.

Please do not bombard myself or the other moderators with complaints about the new setup; there's nothing that any of us can do. We don't mind addressing concerns and helping where we can, and giving you someone to vent to, but trying to address a plethora of messages about the same thing, which we have no control over, takes us away from other work we have to do. And trust me, my job consists of much more important things than giving shout outs and making polls...I squeezed the "Fanny" poll in with the very few free moments I had between taking care of several duties and responsibilities.
Thanks for betting on the Cavs, it was hysterical!! Ask Lebron how his ass feels after having his ass "SPANKED"!!

Do you honestly have so much of an insecurity complex that you would have to gloat like a 6th grade student, in open forum, because of a bet with imaginary money (Q-bucks)?  Sometimes teams win, sometimes they lose--get over yourself and grow-up.  If you are "grown-up"--then you really need to work upon your level of maturity.  As of now, it appears to be non-existent.
