Notification bell only available for some games?

[JoysJoy]

Go to the game's page and click again on the bell. If there's no bell, click on Play first.

Ok. I tried this and found out I am actually "subscribed" and cannot figure out how to unsubscribe.

Can anyone help me with this?

If clicking play does not make the bell appear, there might be a bug where you can no longer unsubscribe if the game became unpopular enough to not have the bell. I'm not certain.

Do you see the bell that says "Activated. You will be notified when a table is looking for a player. You can find all the bells you have activated by going to your game page filters"? If you do, just click on it to deactivate it. If you don't, make sure the buttons above say "PLAY" and "REAL-TIME"

There are games that I would like to turn notifications on for that aren’t that popular and I can’t

Hmm, I see. Do you remember which ones so we can see if it's the same for everyone (and all the time) to dive deeper in this, yet another, mysterious BGA feature?

I wanted to do it for vale of eternity at the moment. It shows as 15min wait. I just looked at game history. 30 in last hr. So not extremely slow. But also there is 2,3,4p, arena as well as friend games. W/ the bell I would be able to see there’s a 2p available and go.

I'm also experiencing this. It's not always that the games in general are rarely set up - if you're looking for some set up that's not coming up so often it can be really frustrating to try and scan the available tables quickly enough, especially with the popular games where the tables are filling up fast. Sometimes I'd like to check something else on the site while waiting, but now I couldn't.

And to add to this, one of the things I'd like to be able to filter would be the level of other players (or, while this is not currently possible, at least the one creating the table, in the hopes that maybe they have some kind of filter for this). Just made a separate post spesifically about this, actually: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37073.
