Ranking the Sherdog "Upgrade"

2/10

Migrating to improve functionality doesn't negate the tedious, design, and aesthetics of the GUI of the mobile site. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd best aspect of sherdog was the user interface and now it's several notches below what it was a decade ago
 
The fucking ads everywhere makes the site look trash. The like confirm is retarded. The offline for a week killed the user engagement, the AV GIFs stopped, the balance of text sizes between user and post is off, why the joined date is more important than the text of a post I'll likely never know.

But I've been through a few of these and really it's just the offline for a week that was criminal, everything else will iron out. Forum was already slow, now it's glacial and I've had to go to the war room! I might even have to start thinking about UFC..

THERE'S 27 ADVERTS ON THIS PAGE ALONE!!! WTF? God that's shit.
 
Started out as a 4/10 now with a week of fixes, I'll give it a 6/10. Not great not terrible.
 
I noticed nothing broken lol
The quadrupling of the amount of ads, including mid-thread ads between posts, is the likely reason for the "upgrade."

To answer OP, it's crap/10
I don't see a single add on either the desktop or mobile version. Looks pretty clean really.

/shrugs
 
Bring back mobile site. I dont want to see the CANs here avatar, signature bullshit etc..
 
I feel like , 7 , lot of people seems to have left since the upgrade. Hopefully sherdog forum will die soon and Reddit will reign supreme
 
The upgrade was a huge improvement on desktop and tablet. It's just on mobile phone it's crap.

Desktop: 7/10
Tablet: 10/10
Mobile phone: 3/10
 
I experienced few to no issues on either Mobile or Desk/Laptop. Few quirks but during upgrades/migration so it goes.

More is being cleaned up daily.

4-5/10 opening day bout 6-7/10 now.
 
it will probably get better.
only things that stick out to me are the like confirmation thing, which is hilarious, and how much ORANGE there is.
 
Easily an 8. decent features and nice design. I especially like that it's like it was before but doesn't look ancient anymore. Also good that gifs are very small so old folks can't decypher them.

No polls is a great feature too. It was getting quite tiresome; we all know by now that Monica Bellucci is greatest sexy and Sherdoggers have poor taste in movies and most other things on average.
I'd laugh at this if I could but since that post reaction was removed I can't . . .
 
maybe its a good thing
keeps me away from the net
 
Minus 2

Its awful

I just might leave this place tbh....
 
What upgrade?
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines upgrade as
1 An upward grade or slope
2 increase, rise
3 An improvement

In this topic it would seem to be the third meaning.

I haven't noticed any improvements so far using the site on a laptop. I guess there may be unseen improvements for those programming the site but I'm doubting that by the time it took to install the new program and the time it is taking to make changes to it. I compare it to the change from Windows XP to Vista and Windows 7 to the short lived Windows 8. It seems to rank up there with the change from old Coca Cola to new Coca Cola.

Maybe I'm just old and set in my ways.

What improvements do you see in the "Upgrade"?
 
Can I trade in 1000 Reactions for a Plat upgrade?

If not, sherdog should totally sell out and make a list of gifts you can trade for Reactions.
