There is a new redesign of the BT website, it is not at all user friendly. I thought the old one was great and I could find stuff quickly.

This is not an improvement. It will take a awhile getting used to. Still trying to figure things out and what is missing from before.

Is there a way to see/use the old site? Way back machine or something?

Try 'players.buzztime.com'. It's pretty similar to the old website.

Thanks Bobby. I didn’t even catch that the new redirect was going to play.Buzztime.com instead of the old “players”. Changed my bookmark to the old one. I’ll guess the new “play” one is more friendly for phones? It just looks dumb and is not that good.

Old website no longer works. All info pages come up empty. Stuck with the new one that is difficult to get around and very strange looking. Definitely made for mobile use. The BT Facebook page is asking for feedback on the redesign.

Edit: same thing on new website, no info returns, just empty page. So both are down as of 10am Fri 12/15. Maybe old site will be back when the server problem is over?

They must have plugged the cord back in. It's seems to be working now...
At least once a month though, they do seem to have some server issue where the top sites have half the medals displayed and missing info.

Thanks, I logged on as usual to change my avatar's shirt and ended up with this horrible cartoonish avatar which I spent the night being made fun of for. What are they thinking?

Hey Sigis,

Good to see you back in here? Still in BC? What BT bars are still operating there?

It seems the Hall of Fame is nowhere to be found on the new BT website? I’m I missing it somewhere?

The Hall of Fame is still in the old players.Buzztime.com website. But of course the Topix/ Playback themes aren’t there. Have to go to the new website for them. The only time I ever go to the new website is once a month to find the topix/ playback game titles.

The new website also doesn’t allow you to see which 6 closest bars are connected to the network for a zip code. The new site doesn’t give you the 6 connected, it just goes to the map screen that lists the 10 closest connected and not connected. So, then to determine if the bar is connected you have to dig through game play. I’m sure the developers have no clue what they have left out because they aren’t players.

BT getting kind of sloppy of recent.
