Game in Progress page update

[charlimangy]

I want to add my voice to the chorus of "Thanks, I hate it!" for the new games in progress page.

I know there are Arena games and I don't want to play them. I already pay for premium membership for this great service. Can I pay more to not be nagged about playing in Arena matches?

Maybe I'll get used to the "you're all caught" up message at the top, but I don't like the suggestion that I should start a new game. It's not my goal to have so many games going at once that I can never be caught up on them! (which is kind of the logical outcome here)

I was wondering if a dark theme is available? Also, maybe an option to go back to old theme if the dark theme is undoable?

People have requested dark theme for years. see here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=14281 I'm told the old chief of BGA said in a reddit live Q&A that is was not a priority because they were "prioritising UX for our users". Make of that what you will. Apparently people who struggle with bright pages and lots of visual smash aren't important.

Workarounds are use chrome's native DM or load a CSS dark mode in your profile preferences such as the one by Bastian on github. I am working on a fork of it that also handles the new lobby pages but I had to put it on the backburner due to life and now will have more work getting these other calamitous updates to display less jarringly before I can share it with anyone.

I regularly check my games in progress in the morning before it is very light out. The background of the new interface is uncomfortably bright for my eyes.

I found the side-by-side display strange, but was glad to be able to switch to a 1 column view.

One thing I’m going to need to try out is seeing if the view settings I choose on my mobile devices will be remembered when going to my desktop. I hope they won’t, as I’ll prefer more compact views on mobile but more information on my desktop. I hate to have to choose between compactness and information, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

I can understand why somebody MIGHT care whether a game is regular, Arena or Tournament but I sure don't. Can't we have a setting that just groups all the games in one big list? Get rid of all the shortcuts, empty sections that fill the page, etc?
Anyway I kludged some CSS together that is close. You can put it on you CSS page https://boardgamearena.com/preferences?section=advanced

Code: Select all

#main-content>div>div.bga-player-progress-list__section>h1, #main-content>div>div.bga-player-progress-list__section>div>div>div:first-of-type:not(.bga-game-progress-list-section__icon-holder) {
display:none;

I'm not seeing the hourglass or any indicator of whose turn it is on the new page.

Sadly, I am also not a fan. The old one was great, easy to grok. A quick glance and that was all you needed. Now you have to parse a bunch of information. Sorry devs, this is a miss for me.

Edit to add: Oh, found the indicator for whose turn it is. Still, the hourglass was easier to spot at a glance.

+1 for bringing back the hourglass

Also, the wooden background doesn't show on the new page. It makes it look too sterile and not "warm" and welcoming like other pages.

This is better than the CSS I shared, less clutter yay! Thank you for sharing!
I knew it was possible, but I'm not that great at CSS, so this is very helpful.
