Really bad interface in this game.

I love playing the game but it's so clunky to navigate this site.

Now the screen has grown tp three times the size and I have to go exploring all the vague sounding sections just to find out how to reset the massive text and maps that are displaying on my machine.

Surely someone could come up with someting more simple to use.

Now when I search for new games I can only see 2 at a time.

put a simple reset button somewhere.

Bottom of the screen in the footer, there is a "reset panels" button if you screw something up.
But if you've just hit large map or done something else accidentally, I wouldn't use that. Its easier to fix then to reset panels and have to set them up the way you liked it again.

I tried rest panals and nothing happened. Its not just large maps but the size of the entire site, including this forum. I want to sit on the other side of the room.

Are you sure you didn't somehow accidentally zoom in your browser? Nothing has changed on my end, on phone, laptop, or my tablet, or iMac.
There hasn't been any coding changes that changed this as well, thats why I'm wondering if you've done something on your end with the browser perhaps

Now I have flash animation ads for other games burning my eyes. I think it's game over.

Sounds like you're just zoomed in too much. Hold down the shift key and wheel your mouse down to zoom back out.

I agree with you on the interface, it looks like someone cobbled it together in their bedroom in 2006 then added to it in an ad hoc manner without an overall plan to prevent settings and controls panels all over the place, then sold it to three different people did very little to update the site.

I mean, thats what it looks like, but probably not what actually happened because that would be ridiculous

Now-
If it is in fact a zoom issue, Ctrl + 0 will restore the browser to default zoom.

(While holding down Control key, press the Zero button)
