6 new updates for lobby and turn-based

Post by sourisdudesert »

This is Christmas soon! But at BGA we like to be a little bit in advance, so we just delivered 6 new updates for your game lobby and turn-based games :

For the lobby :

1. Tables you cannot join for any reason are now hidden by default. You may display them optionally ("Display tables I cannot join").
2. You won't receive anymore suggestions for a table you cannot join.
3. Available players in the same (ELO) level than you are now listed first in the "suggestion list". As a rule of thumb, on BGA we always recommend you to play in priority with players in the same level than you.

For turn-based games :

4. Now you are always redirected in priority to the table with the less remaining time to think.
5. We added a "go to next table" button even if it is you turn. BGA will temporarily give a low-priority to this table so you can focus on your other games.
6. The "see final position" link in turn-based game end emails was sometimes broken : it is now 100% back!

By the way, if someone around you would like to offer you a wonderful gift and have no idea, you may suggest a BGA membership :) To do this, he/she should follow the instructions below, so you can have a 2017 year full of premium games, statistics, tournament creation, and so on !
_ go to https://boardgamearena.com/#!club
_ click on "offer someone a Club Membership".
_ type the username of the lucky player (hopefully, you!).
_ click on the payment button and follow the instructions.

Enjoy :)

Yay! Thank you for the new stuff!

The next button will come in handy especially when I'm trying to play by mobile, and I don't want to take turns in the games that don't work well on mobile. :)
