Re: Can I request a refund?

Try contacting support -- https://boardgamearena.com/support -- if you haven't yet. I don't think they monitor the forums for individual requests.

Re: Players joining turn based games with speed they never intend to keep up with

I could have sworn at some point I set my game speed preferences (I prefer to play at X moves per day, I'm okay with playing at Y moves per day, I never want to play Z moves per day) but for the life of me I can't find where. Perhaps another user remembers where those preferences are? On the "...

Re: Players joining turn based games with speed they never intend to keep up with

In my very limited experience, in arena mode or automatic matching, with turn based time set to "flexible", the settings are too flexible. I made the error of allowing flexible time settings from a one-move-a-day base, thinking I'd be fine with three or four moves per day, or a move every ...

When you say that "BGA frequently presses this button for me", do you mean that the slider setting visibly changes to flexible, or that you're placed in a table that doesn't match your locked setting? There are a couple of similar questions & two possibly related bugs: https://boardgam...

Re: Question about Moves per Day setting

Are you setting up your games with the old lobby ("play now"), or on the game page? Is your game speed option locked or flexible? (There's a slider with crossed arrows to the right of the game speed: when locked it's left & grey, when flexible it's right and the arrows & background...

Re: Real time game speeds

Ah, thank you! On the game page, one has to hover over not the speed bar, but the game duration text below that to get the specific information about how much time per move and maximum accumulated time you can have. I would never have found that. (On the first couple of games I tried (less popular o...

Real time game speeds

Fast, normal, and slow real time speeds are different for different games (very reasonable). Is there any way to see what those speeds are other than by clicking through all three settings in the old lobby? Is that information when setting up a game on the game pages, or anywhere else?

Re: Setting up games to be played within a group

I was advised by customer service to send it in as a bug. If you have filed a bug report, could you link to it so that other people seeing the same problem can find and upvote it? (I did not turn it up on a casual search.) Setting up a game on the game page (as opposed to the "play now" l...

Re: how to move the marbles with my mouse??

Click the marble you want to move. The game will show it as a bit bigger & highlight all of the spaces it could move to. Click the highlighted space you want to move the marble to. If you decide you don't want to move the marble you clicked, click the marble again, and it will go back to normal ...
