Well I am very dissapointed that xfire has been ruined and this new ugly layout imposed on everyone without a choice. The worst part is that a lot of functionality has been lost as a result. There is no longer a recent forum posts column on the side, you can no longer edit news posts, clan logos don't appear anymore, and all kinds of problems. Who misses the old xfire? I am in a few communities which used the xfire forums and now we have to find alternatives because this is a complete atrocity and un-manageable.

I do not know much, about xfire... But I know for sure, video links from it, now, stop works on my PC, by explorer and firefox the same.
Beauty is, the way to perfection.

Glory to Ukraine!  :mf:

CLASSIC!!!

I have no functionality on their new site as well.
Well.. the advertisements and pretty borders work... but no screenshots, videos, or anything else. So it's pretty much just an address with nothing but ads at the moment.

I didn't find any contact links to talk with them about it, but I didn't look very hard.(-edit found it.. big blue button on the right hand side.)

Can't even access my profile. (before anyone asks, yes I signed in.. ::) )(-edit this was my fault... doh.)

I assumed they moved to some HTML5 thing. But that may not be it, since Sereja reports that firefox isn't seeing it.

-edit
yeah.. just dug around some more... no.
They offer no way to delete my account... yay.
With no method for accesing my account, I can't set it to private... yay.(-edit not relevant any more.)
I got one video to work. Clicking the video option on their navigation menu offers you one video.... yay

Did they change paradigms or what?  It's a groovy little chat client, but without being able to use thier page services, it's no better than any of a hundred instant messengers.

Still can't find any support or contact info.

I miss the old xfire because I can no longer scroll through all the screen   shots :( just yesterday I got on classic.

I've found for a while now that the fact clan logos don't show up now kind of sucks, and the fact their beta site is ugly anyways. The site doesn't even work on my iPad! I've been using the classic site to view alot of things. Though I know some of Xfire's community forums have been discussing issues with the new 2.0 client beta, as well as the website. I'm sure if you poked around on the forums part of the site, you would be bound to find something related.

LoL I thought u all knew it.
Just type classic before the ''.xfire'' so it will be like this:  http://www.classic.xfire.com

That doesn't work for me. It goes straight to the new site, even after dumping my cache.

And I found the feedback/support link.. (doh...)
It's a GIANT blue button on the right side.
I sent a message to them. (I believe it was friendly, I usually don't go off on folks till the 3'rd or so email.)

Lol Tirp.

Yeah, I definitely like classic xfire alot better... Xfire's changes are just as bad as facebook's
I do not like the new setup, hard to do anything anymore.

Hmm weird...
Im still able to use the classic xfire...

I agree with everything Phobos said. Their idea of improvements seems to be taking out a load of features. I also have problems logging into the site now and clicking on a video in the X-fire app just takes you to random videos on the site. I can sometimes visit the classic site using the recent activity links but this also seems random.
I play less now but I'll always be around, lets keep this site and battlefront going. :)

Luckily you have a choose whether to download the update on ipod, and phones

I opened a support ticket and they got back to me really fast.
Like creepy stalker fast. (hehe)

I'm compiling a list of disfunctions and screenshots for them now.

Of course the only thing I can verify is the stuff that ie8 breaks.

I won't be using Xfire for anything except recording and posting videos.

Well, today I went to change my nickname for a community and it wouldn't even let me log on to their website. When I tried on my PC, I would try to log in and there would be a timeout error. When I tried to log in on my phone, it would send me a "change password" e-mail. When I clicked on the link it e-mailed me it said something along the lines of "this page does not exist"...

Long story short, the new Xfire is ruined. I can't even edit or log on to my own profile...
