Where? the only things I have under turn-based settings are when I want to be notificated by email, nothing about whether or not I want to see the last moves replay.

Btw. are you sure the daily notifications work? I haven't yet gotten any. Or does my mailprovider have those emails on their auto-spam-list, so they will never get through on this emailaddress?
Yes, where is it?
If there is nothing like that, then I suggest a pop-up window, even before you load the game screen, asking if you want to see the last moves? Not like it is now, where it is auto loading the replay. That should not be the default behavior.
Also you should have the replay set to the play "buttons" like when you watch another game replay.
Sometimes you want to pause the replay, and you can not, but you can select an action from the log and replay from there, but that is a little cumbersome.
Finally the replay on Through the Ages (TtA) is wonky. In 3 games I played it played all moves, not just the last ones from my last move. I also saw that behavior in Tzolk'in and Tournay, but games today replayed from last move correctly, so it might be a moot point now.
Excellent job, for sure, just minor annoyances at best. Definitely keep up the good work!

Great work!

I joined a turn-based Race for the Galaxy game and the "Replay from last move" just doesn't work at all for that particular game. It always has trouble loading and than the cards in the tableau don't display correctly. I've seen it hide cards I've already played and also duplicate cards but I haven't seen it load correctly yet. Anyways, not a big deal because I don't plan on playing much turn-based Race outside of the occasional 4-player game and probably a lot of other people won't either because it is so short but that's another bug to fix when you fix the other stuff :)

Thanks for the updates to the site!

It works great and already possible to play 10 games; nice job!

Only one problem at the moment:
I play 10 games and it keeps saying "1 waiting for you" while it"s not my turn; its on a Tokaido-game.
This game also keeps coming up everytime i want to go to the next table.
And when there really is 1 game waiting for me i don't know because of this,

Not in settings while showing the move you can click in skip last moves replay

This only pertains to the one particular game, meaning you have to click the link in every and each of your turn-based games. Zhane wants an option to turn it off globally.

Agree with an idea for a vacation timer(maybe a week for the whole year). In some of the long games it may be needed plus it lets your opponents know why the delay for moving. As a newcomer to site I find the timers a little difficult to understand as well as I am unsure where to find them on games that I am currently playing.

As mentioned by someone else, I also get a waiting for game even though I have completed move. This occurs in puerto rico during the settlers phase(I think).

thanks for this great improvement! Long live BGA!

My suggestion for turn-based games is to add "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons for current player move.

Also one small, but very annoying thing... the banner at the top of the screen that says "There is no table at which you have a turn to play" or something close to that.
It is never right because I always have tables to play and it says I do not. Only time it is right is after I have played on all my tables... Lol
Like I said, a small but very annoying thing.

Also, again, add a preference setting that stops the goldurned "Replay Last Move" malarkey.
Let us to be able to choose to play last moves, not that other way around, to choose NOT to play them, highly desirable NOT to have them auto load. :ugeek:
