Games carousel is very large on mobile

Post by GTSchemer »

Previously the "Games" tab carousel worked well on mobile, showing 2-4 images for each game.

As of an update this week, the small / medium / large setting doesn't work, and the only option is for each game to be huge, taking up the width of the screen. This results in only basically 2 categories or games being visible on the entire mobile screen.

It would be appreciated if the size option worked, so mobile users could see a few games at a time.

My use case: I like seeing 2-4 games in each category so I can easily scroll sideways through them and view the top entries in each category.

Since a picture is worth 1000 words:

Changing 1-2 CSS lines would give these options, for users who might find them more usable:

The sort by recently played is extremely hit or miss for me. Does everyone have that problem? The sort by popularity always seems to work and sometimes alphabetical doesn’t work either.

My best diagnosis, it is inverted with bugs.

Nearly a year after your post, and I too have this same issue going on for as long as I can remember. Most-recently rarely puts the matching game on top of the list; it's often on the bottom. However, some random games when played more recently will take the top position.
For example, I play Hanabi, Super Mega Lucky, then I play Coloretto. You'd expect the top game to be Coloretto, then SML, then Hanabi.
In actuality, Coloretto sits on top, Hanabi is last, and SML is second-last. It makes no sense.

Alphabetical for me is completely inverted, though some Beta and Alpha games on my list seem to mess with it.

And popularity seems inverted too.

If you try and click the filter option again to changes the sort order (ascend/descend) nothing happens; are we overlooking an option for ascending/descending?
