I should ask everyone to be constructive and specific here. General remarks ("this is ugly", "this is confusing") do not help us very much to figure out how to improve things, while specific remarks (which situation, which button, which action or series of actions...) allow us to reproduce situations and see why this could be issues.
Let me rephrase then my post from second page of this thread.
I would love if - after clicking "rematch" -
I see the table I'm in, with who and with what settings, instead 90% of the visible field was covered by irrelevant info about the game that I obviously know about "enough to play" (it's a rematch, not first time player!). Example shows I can't see ANY interesting info about the table, it forces me to scroll, because it pushed all info below (with a lot of blank space on left side, while right side - side covered by chat popups automatically - is used for table info, thus covered by chats):
An idea: such game page maybe makes sense for someone who didn't play the game a lot. How about the interface looks like this for players that have less elo in specific game than a certain threshold (30, 50, 100?). And for the players above, they would have automatically hidden the part marked on the example below with red {. They can toggle it unhide if they want, but by default it is assumed they know the game they intend to rematch, and the site is more intersted in making them play the game instead losing interest because of too mach interface trouble.
And of course, the table data should be more adjusted to the browser format (what is the point that in wide screens there is so much blank unused space - yellow highlight on the example below - the game icon can be moved left and player names can start next to it.)
Another example and problem. I played with another friend. He suggested rematch. I see the suggestion, click join, and... considering flickery new interface, I assumed I joined. I clicked to join, the interface doesnt show me problem (forces me to watch the game blahblah and elo), so I joined, right? Nope. The table is below main eye focus and is waiting for me to join.
But it doesn't show it anyhow - players focus is forced to irrelevant info about the game.
Both of these might be just due to not testing on big resolution. Bigger screen size should be used to show more info, not less...
Old post
How to create a rematch (specific settings and players, recurring tb I've been playing for years)? I clicked on a just ended tb game and it moved me to set settings an players again. Do I have to repeat adding specific players manually even when clicking "propose rematch"? Why???
EDIT. I was on the page for long time until I figured it probably opened the table (waiting for the other player to join). But it is totally not visible - and forces user to scroll down to see anything. Have you ever considered users on big screens? Serious question. My screen looked like this - I can't even see the name of the other player, let alone settings! And by clicking on a table I can't enter it (for example to discuss or have tab opened on a specific table instead "searching"). This is so much confusing. I don't get why "propose a rematch" does not lead to a rematch table, but to a searching tables page (even if it opened rematch table).
