During these past weeks, we worked on some details to make BGA more pleasant. Most of these changes has been suggested by you, and we'd like to thank you for that
As you know, we are working a lot since last year to make BGA more and more accessible to everyone, while keeping all the features you love. This is not always easy and straightforward, but it's worth doing it because a lot of board game players are not so comfortable with computers and need something simple to play online.
Here is a non exhaustive list of these changes :
BGA homepage has been redesigned, with large images for the news ("News website design"), making them more visible and appealing.
The community page has been redesigned too, making it more clear.
We made sure that links on chat & newsfeed are now clickable.
You now have to confirm before "replaying game from this point" : a lot of you on mobile were complaining that the replay was often triggered accidentally.
The chat windows for mobile has been totally redesigned. Before that it was very difficult to use on mobile : now it looks like any messaging app on mobile and it should be fine
By general demand, we finally created one forum per game. By default, only forums from the games you played are displayed, and they are sorted by latest messages posted, so even there are a lot of forums you should be able to use it
Finally, we moves "current game in progress / curent turn based games / games invitation" to the right column. Before that they were making the whole BGA "bump" when appearing/disappearing. We know that you are used to see them on top, but we are confident that you will get used to it very quick!
Enjoy!
