We are excited to announce that Club Pogo has launched a brand-new homepage. Designed with you in mind, the new page is streamlined for ease of use, and modernized for a fresher look.
While the new design is straightforward and should be easy to navigate, we want to call out some of the highlights:
Most Recently Played Games Bar. Placed at the top, this bar allows you to add these games to your “My Favorites” list by simply clicking the little ‘heart’ icon in the upper left corner. Now you can quickly get to your favorites, and add new favorites to latest discoveries!
Bigger Spotlight and News Section! See top Pogo News stories as soon you as visit, and preview Spotlights using the icon bar, or just wait for them to scroll through on their own.
Member’s “My Stuff” on the Middle Left! Find your Mini, your token and gem counts, and other important account information.
Challenge Information on the Right! Find all your current activated challenges and recent badge information
Navigation Tabs! Choose between “Favorites”, “Categories” and “Games A-Z” We’ve added game icons to the “Favorites” tab so you can see the visual representation of those games you like best!
How about separating the existing members from the ones you are trying to impress and do all the changing it up for the people who play for free in an effort to entice them to pay like the pogo club members. When a person has a limited amount of time to jump into pogo world for a bit of fun its kinda like dropping them in a maze and by the time they find their way the time they had to play is exhausted. Things like a homepage are just that…. HOME. It’s disconcerting to come “home” and find that the furniture has been rearranged. While I appreciate that Pogo is trying to do something for the members pogo should consider what a hassle it is to relearn and then have become automatic the amount of clicking that is necessary…. most of the clicking we do here is unconscious so making us have to be aware when we are trying to zone out is counter productive.
AMEN to Maxettarose6 statement. She summed it up in a nutshell. I hate this new page. I may cancel my ten year membership due to the horrid changes to my pogo home page. I hope someone in corporate reads your statement. I’m with you.
I HATE and I mean HATE and DETEST the new page look. PLEASE bring back the original. Why do you fix something that isn’t broken. I’ve been a member for years, and pay often for gems, and MAY CANCEL MY DECADE LONG MEMBERSHIP due to this ugly, confusing, horrible new layout. I’ll go to yahoo games instead.
CHANGE IT BACK PLEASE! Some things are best left alone and unchanged Plus it Looks like the “free” Home page” I have to agree with the others >> I would much rather you improve the games, fix the bugs , get new games….. I just HATE it !!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE go back to the “old” look..it was so much nicer and easier to navigate !!
Based on what I have read, I am not alone in my feelings,
I agree I HATE this MESS!!!!! Put it back the way it was.
I REALLY HATE THIS NEW HOMEPAGE PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK
We pay good money to be club members so why don’t we have a choice on what we have and don’t have. This is the worse idea you guys have ever come up with, the old page was fine. Why not invest your time and our money into fixing games that don’t work right or lag instead of giving us crap we don’t want!!! You just made my decision on renewing my club membership for me.AND NOW YOU TELL ME I AM POSTING TO FAST WHAT ALOAD OF BS
I say Boooo Hissss to the new home page… This is the worst change you have ever made. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I suggest you change it back immediately. This new home page is horrible!!!! I want my old home page back please!! YUCK!!!! YUCK!!!! YUCK!!!! and YUCK!!!!
Pogo cannot leave things alone… This new homepage is AWFUL! I’m considering not renewing my membership because Pogo pages load slowly and now this UGLY homepage! Pogo used to be user friendly, but not anymore.
Hate it!! Will not let me activate daily challenges, nor find my way around to the games I want to play… Might be time to cancel my membership…
Typical POGO – fix what ain’t broken and don’t fix all the stuff that is. I guess I’ll add my “I hate it!” to the ever-so-growing list.
Here’s an idea, have your bored IT people work on getting the game rooms to work on Wednesday when everybody on POGO is trying to crowd into the 2 available rooms to get their badge. Or have your IT people move over to the CS department and have them work on the abuse and harassment problems that POGO doesn’t seem to want to deal with. Maybe they can come up with a way to PERMANENTLY ban people who need to be banned because of their nastiness towards others.
I dislike the new home page…It is chaotic and unorganized…and I really don’t care to see the last games I played…Personally, Pogo should have left well enough alone..The other homepage was excellent.
Was the designer drinking when this homepage was put together? This is BY FAR the worst in the 10 years I’ve been a member. Can’t see how many in a room, difficult to find anything, and CLUTTERED.
Such a very unorganized mess the “new looking page” is – why can’t sites such as this leave things alone when it’s something that is already workable – NO INSTEAD THEY FIX WHAT ISN’T BROKEN AND DON’T BOTHER FIXING WHAT’S BROKEN. Who came up with this hair-brained idea of a layout? It sure wasn’t anyone who actually plays the games regularly.
The Club Pogo home page that was just created looks an awful lot like the regular pogo page for Non members. If Pogo’s “excited” about this new home page they should take a step back and look at it again! It is far from exciting. It’s generic, boring, and very strongly lacks ease of use. Bring back the home page that was there yesterday. Everything was right up front in the line of sight. I know they’re thinking we’ll get used to it and that’s very doubtful.
PLEASE!!! PLEASE PUT THE OLD ONE BACK!!! I REALLY LOVED THE OLD ONE>>>IF NOT PLEASE LET US
HAVE A CHOICE TO CHOOSE WHICH WE WANT!!! THIS ONE SUCKS, SORRY…….WANT THE OLD ONE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the new home page is the stupidest thing pogo has done since i have been a member(since it started)my membership payment is due on 12/06/12, if the home page is going to stay like this, don’t get any money from my bank account, because i WILL NOT BE RENEWING!i am as serious as a heart attack about this.
Do not like this lay out at all it really sucks can you go back to the last one at least I agree with everyone else with the pogo page and running slowly
I hate it to and dont say i will get used to it i liked the old one better it was fine spend more time on game issues we seem to have had the last months now i know why getting this crappy home page set up TAKE IT BACK
I’m not real crazy about this new homepage. At least I knew right where to find my games I like to play. Almost time to renew. I’ll be thinking twice now!!!
Well, pogo your new page SUCKS!!!!!!!! I have trouble with my short term memory and play games to keep my memory, now you screw it up. You have too much money how about giving it back to us club pogo members. I will not be renewing my club pogo membership. Oh, and an arcade game where I come from has flippers……get with the program. I have noticed lately that there have been fewer and fewer ppl on here. Could it be management. I know this will never reach anyone just get deleted, but there it is…….POGO SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate it too. It looks completely cheap. Please bring back my old home page.
I am tired of Pogo/E&A shoving stuff down our throats. Their hires are just trying to justify why they should be working for Pogo/E&A. Never mind what the paying customer wants. Just goes to show that Pogo/E&A cannot manage change. Another step in the downfall of a corporation.
omg, please go back to the old format. this one is too scrambled…..hard to find what your want, and favorite games don’t show the bonus token games anymore ??
bummer !!!
Why are you wasting your time creating this awful, ugly home page…how about working on REAL issues…getting games to load and being able to redeem EA game cards, for instance? Not going to renew again, that’s for sure!!
Meh. You’ve forgotten the basic point of website design – MAKE THINGS EASIER TO FIND, NOT HARDER.
Maybe you should’ve spent the energy on coming up with weekly and daily challenges from some different games, instead of rotating the same few games (with far too many of them slots, or hidden-object games that cost gems to get anywhere in) over and over.
THE NEW HOMEPAGE IS MISERABLE. BRING BACK THE OLD PAGE. IF ITS NOT BROKE DONT FIX IT!
I really dislike this new home page. and also, please fix the games that so many, like me, cannot play. So many of my favorites do not load. When are you going to do something about this, as so many have complained. Dislike buying a badge for a game that won’t load. Thinking I will not renew my club pogo subscription. DISLIKE NEW HOME PAGE !!!!!!!!!
There is not much more to say that hasn’t already been said here. I HATE this new homepage, just like I’ve hated ALL the other changes you keep making. Pogo keeps making it very plain that they really don’t care about what the members want or think, they do what they want and then continue to tell us the changes are good and we will learn to like them. Sorry Pogo, this one is by far the worst! Why keep messing up things that were fine to begin with? Pay attention to the people who are helping to pay your salaries…the members!
The new Homepage is nothing but a jumbled mess ! It is too busy and disorganized. Also it is not appealing. please bring back the other Homepage format :O(
Totally HATE THIS new page . should be able to hide some of the areas . geeezzz did the favorite list get any larger in size. Old format was way better …pogo your messing up put he home page back to the way it was !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE NEW HOME PAGE IS THE WORST THING YOU GUYS EVER DID IT SUCKS!!! RETURN BACK TO THE OLD HOMEPAGE!!!
I hate the new home page also and wish they would change it back. I also hate the white background. The yellow background was much easier to read for people who have problems with their eyes. Please FIX IT!
I hope my friends will be patient with me, as I can no longer find my new messages, gifts or guestbook. On the other hand, look at all the gems I’ll save. :) I’m not going to spend money on anything (badges, gifts, mini-items) that I can’t see when I open Pogo.
I know what my favorite games are and don’t care what Pogo’s “recommended games” are, so that TEN INCH strip down the middle of my screen could be used for something else, for instance which badges I’m working on which are now THREE screens down.
And now I get a message that I’m submitting comments “too fast”? WOW how can one comment and only one comment be “too fast”? Oh the irony!!
Hate it! Loathe it! DESPISE it!!!!! Please go back to the previous homepage! This one is just Fanny-of-a-hairless-dog UGLY!!!!!
Let’s see, over 200 posts about this new homepage and I don’t see one person who likes it. Of course, I may have missed it in the midst of all the negatives, but I don’t think so.
I completely agree. The new homepage is awful and it’s not just not liking change. It’s hard to find anything now. It’s full inconsequential things. It looks like one big ad. They won’t be going back, I know. You’d think with the awful reception the UK change got, Pogo/EA would not have done this.
I really hate this new format – please bring the old home page back – do not want to visit the site now
Really POGO – another paying customer that really, really doesn’t like the stinky “new” but not improved home page…
Was there no test/beta groups beforehand…
I hate it..looks like a 5 year old did it.
My thoughts exactly!!!
I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE NEW HOME PAGE
I no idea why Pogo would feel the need to change the Homepage. There are other ways to update a look without absolutely changing everything. I HATE it. It is not more organized, everything is hidden, it is ugly and unattractive, I can’t see my mini right away. Change is disturbing as it is, but HUGE change makes people very upset. Please bring back the old page – this is awful. Very discomforting and upsetting. Not cool.
I can’t say that I like the new Homepage. It needs something, like “COLOR” Its very disorienting with the stark white background. I also think that the mini should have been left at the top. I’m sure you have your reasons for changing the Homepage, but change is not always good, especially for the older people who play. I think that since there are so many people who pay to play, maybe you could have taken a survey to know how we as paid members felt about it before it was done, at least we should have a voice since we are the ones, or maybe some of the “ones” who make it possible for the site to continue to operate. It will take awhile to get used to this, but I will try, I won’t complain, but try and get used to the “new way” Thank You for listening.
Don’t be too sure they are listenimg, see if they do or atleast respond to the people unhappy with the change before you thank them.
I hate it like everyone else bring back the old one we pay for a mess this is horrible HATE HATE it says I am to fast slow down White is hard on my eyes I am going slow maybe I should be an ant or who ever did this like white can not find anything
I hate this new page. I want the old one back. We should have been asked about the change.
We should have been given the option to pick which page we want. It looks like most agree with me.
really hate the new format….very confusing….we need the old home page back!!!
Have a strong dislike (read hate) for the new and “improved” home page. Too much clutter and things are not organized as nicely as they were before Pogo wasted their time fixing something that worked instead of spending their time fixing things that are truly broken. LOL, should be used to it by now, but makes me wonder who’s running things at Pogo and how they make business decisions. The process doesn’t seem to keep their CUSTOMERS in mind!

I do not like this at all. Please go back to old way.
Why dont you ask the users before you make stupid changes like these.At this rate pogo is is one finger away from erase on my pc
Don’t like it either.They need to bring back the old homepage.
The new home page “Really Sucks”. Time would better be spent fixing the broken games that you have. Spades is one it freezes up all the time. I have look several message’s over haven’t seen one yet that likes the change.
Oh, Has everyone said they hate this?
I don’t want to be redundant but,….
HATE IT! It Sucks. Fix it!
I want my money back!
This new format is simply horrible. There was nothing wrong with the previous homepage. It was concise, well organized and easy to navigate. This is just a mess . . . . please return to the old format or give us the option of which we would prefer.
