I went on this morning and noticed a bit of a change. Now rather than being able to see from the Fight Center how many fights you've picked on a card, it says where the card is being held. I'm not sure about anyone else but personally i dont really care where the card is, i want to be able to quickly know if my picks are done and up to date.

I just logged in to see how I did and I noticed the same thing.  I only try to pick the BLC events and I don't see where it tells you what events you've picked or have not picked.  I hope we won't have to go through each event to see if we've picked it and how many of the fights on the card we've picked.

I agree, I'm thinking this is probably just a temporary thing as they redesign the site.

I like it , makes picking for the Euro comp easy , but I do hope they bring the number of fights picked back to it as well.

New page coming up very soon that will provide a much more comprehensive breakdown of whether you've made your picks, showing how long until the deadlines, and allowing you to sort them.

The FightCenter main page was trying to do 2 different things:
- Show your pick status
- Give people a way to browse events

It wasn't doing a good enough job at either of those functions!

I noticed it as well, but figured they would have it changed before the first event of the week. I really like the new setup. I might go to a few shows now that I know they're in my area.

@sreimuth awesome to hear that you might do that.  one of the key things we want to do is take the audience on Tapology (it's pretty big... most people do not have an account) and make them aware of the MMA that's taking place in their area.

Which is the first event of the week that you are talking about?  The FFC that's tomorrow?

Note that in the right column of the site, it will ALWAYS show you your prediction deadlines for any events in the next few days:
- Gray: no picks made
- Green: all picks made
- Orange: partial picks made

The new page is going to be of a style like this, but full sized and focused on deadlines and countdowns and such.

@Gregory Why is there no way to cancel predictions I have made?

@bertha it's something a few people have inquired about over the past couple years but never been something really in high demand.  I'll make sure it stays on our list of "possible features to add."

Sometimes we are working on related features and all of a sudden it makes sense to bundle one of those wish-list items in there.

@Gregory While your at it, could you make a feature that predicts the winner of the fight for me at a 100% rate? Thanks. If that's too much coding, a 95% rate would be acceptable... I guess.

While we are on the topic of predictions and changes, is it possible to change either the green or orange when showing pending/complete predictions on the side bar? I am red green color blind so unless i have the brightness cranked to the point of burning my eyes out, I can't tell the two colors apart. It's not a huge deal and now I just have to pay closer attention to the actual numbers to make sure that I haven't missed a pick but if one of those colors could maybe be changed to a darker color like maybe blue, that would be awesome.

i'm not clicking on that link since it's probably a weird animal-**** site, judging by your profile pic

if you are going to hijack a thread I think animal **** is the way to go, good job.

getting back to topic, I´ve been making picks this morning but I just noticed those changes ( I usually make them for the prediction deadlines bar on the right) I like this changes but I do miss the number of fights in the card and how many I´ve picked, is good that Tapology overlords are gonna bring those back, this new feature makes it easier to pick cards for a specific competition.

Update

Pushed this out a little more quickly to get a replacement tool in place for those who liked the old FightCenter's ability to show you your pick status.

How to get there:
- Click "Prediction Deadlines" in the right column where it shows the brief list of upcoming events
- Click "Prediction Deadlines" on top of the FightCenter

While the only links you will find are to your own deadline/status list, there is a small hidden feature here that is on purpose because it might be helpful to BLC players or other team games you come up with.  Just change the name in the URL bar and you can see other people's status, too.

The site layout looked fine before this. I don't understand why more emphasis isn't put on making the forums less cluttered.
