I too don't need to see I'm online.
Is the idea behind this green dot to let us appear offline, absent or busy as it happens on many messaging tools ?
I don't see the point of it and the "en ligne/déconnexion" scrollbar uses precious screen-space that could be used to show one more table in the turn by turn list. :|

Where is the icon for the tables I'm playing in? It's buried two clicks away.

Where is the banner saying it's my turn? Completely disappeared which is a travesty.

I don't need an icon telling me I'm online.

The orange flower icon is just plain odd.

Overall a poor GUI update.

Sorry if I missed the answer... but can someone tell me how to access the https://boardgamearena.com/gameinprogress page ?

It used to be a one click feature from everywhere and I can't seem to find it at all now.

Please bring back the orange banner for It's Your Turn, or at least make the circle with the number a contrasting color from the table next to it.

I appreciate efforts to improve, but the loss of a clearly visible banner announcing my turn is a huge step back. Even when I’m staring at the screen, I can miss that it’s my turn. And when I have the tab in the background or on a second screen, I definitely miss it’s my turn. Please bring it back as an option.

I want to add to the several other comments regarding bringing back the "It's Your Turn" banner.

In my opinion this was the single most important item on the website (besides the games themselves, of course). Normally all I really care about is to 1) quickly know that it's my turn to play and 2) easily get to that table. The banner accomplished this task perfectly - please bring it or something similar back.

The menu bar on smartphone got a big visual downgrade too. The Menu was once centered, and its looked clean/nice, and now appears weirdly on the left. The icon/logo/text harmony is kinda off too.
But i'm happy those forum loading "jumps" have now disappeared :)

Why does the table icon and the profile icon do the same thing? What's the point to have two icons next to each other that perform the same operation?

I haven't read all the pages of posts, so this may have already been suggested. As I've been playing more since the update, the problem with the table icon (on the main navigation bar) has become more obvious. It's always yellow/gold and stays the same color when I have turns to take. A number shows up next to it but that's easy to miss. I would recommend making the table icon grey or blue (like links) when I have no turns to take, orange/red when I have turns to take, and keep the green it currently is when a live game is forming.
