EW800 - Yes, you are correct. We'll be working to fix that UI "oops" here shortly. 
I miss the "what does it mean to you?" link...It was a link that displayed my credit rating along side my likely percentage rate for a mortgage or auto loan. Has that feature been discontinued or is it in a different location?
Starting Score: 630

I'm not sure I understand. I just went in and checked one of my alerts pre-new design and post-new design and compared them side by side. Neither version of the alert for the balance decrease showed me a decrease from "x to y" in the alert title. However, when I look in the NEW UI's alert details, I see
ACCOUNT BALANCE
$1,199 
$736
When I look in the OLD alert's details, I see in the details of the alert, I see....
| Previously reported | Newly reported | |
| Account balance: | $X,XXX | $YYY |
If I am not undertanding your concern properly, I'm sorry. Can you explain it again or maybe include some visuals (with private info blacked/fuzzed out)?
Thanks!

The previous guide on score watch states
Reasons why you may not receive a Score Watch alert
Changes that don’t trigger Score Alerts or Credit Alerts:
- A balance decrease won’t trigger a Credit Alert.
- The removal of an item from the credit report will not trigger a Credit Alert.
- During the 7-10 days between Score Alert checks (when there are no Credit Alerts), the score can change multiple times between these Score Alert checks and the monitoring system won’t be aware of them – resulting in some score changes occurring without Score Alerts being generated.
- Changes that that are not specifically listed in the table below will not trigger an alert.
Are you saying that it previously provided alerts for decreases even though the guide said it wouldn't? Of course the guide is update from 2011.

This new design is much slower and very cumbersome. I know new things take time to get adjusted to; but in my opinion, some things really need to be fixed.
Here are two examples for improvement:
1. FICO Score Timeline: Please make it so the "zoom" settings I have chosen stay that way. Even better, add the option to select "past three months - past six months - past year". That would be great! As it is now, each time I click to a different page the zoom level reverts back to a long history. This long history is not very usable. Those big yellow dots are an eyesore and get in the way of each other. Maybe make smaller dots that give you more information if you hover over them.
2. On the "alerts" page: Instead of just the arrow pointing up or down with the number representing the score change - why don't you show us the actual score? Give us the previous and new score right there in that row. Don't make us click that plus sign to see that info.
Thank you.
Thanks for the detailed feedback. For item #1, there are some limitations with the specific library used to build that view so that may not be possible, but some of the filtering may be an enhancement we can add sometime in the future. As for your second item, I have passed that along to our UI designer for consideration and review.

That feature now resides within the Savings center: http://www.myfico.com/SavingsCenter/Credit-Cards.a

What you posted for the new UI is what I see for alerts that were generated prior to the change. It seems that the new alerts are only displaying the old balance. This appears to be a backend change.
Balance decrease Alert on August 1, 2014:
- ACCOUNT BALANCE
- $X,XXX $X,XXX
Balance decrease Alert on August 24, 2014:
- ACCOUNT BALANCE
- $XX
