We have a 15' x 48inch intex pool that is filled and it's our second year putting it up. We put it up the other day and it is the style where it comes with a band around the liner with loops around the band for the legs. I realized yesterday that the legs were not put in the straps as the pool was put up. So I'm wondering.. How bad is it if the legs are not in any strap at all? The legs seem straight and pool is level. Thanks in advance!

You're sort of rolling the dice. While those straps aren't extremely strong, they do help to ensure the legs don't begin to slip outwards or inwards, especially when the footings are wet and people start moving the water (splashing, waves, etc). If you end-up leaving it for now, I'd keep a close eye on the footings for any signs of movement.
I'd get some kind of strapping or even rope and do a wrap around the whole thing. could tape it in place or jury-rig in some other way to keep at about the same level as the built-in strap.
