Really nice that /gameinprogress and /welcome pages update instantly on toggle

Settings > Home page settings:
Rename toggle label "Recent games hidden" -> "New games hidden" to match the page's section title "New" ?

/forum
I'd like to show or hide selected forums e.g. Hanabi (/forum/viewforum.php?f=102)

Custom CSS in an <iframe> doesn't work:

Code: Select all

#bgaforum_102 { display:none; }

Is this something that can be done in the extension?
Maybe even using the Hidden games list to remove the corresponding forums from view?

To be honest, I think it's cool too
Unnecessary, therefore indispensable

You are right!

I don't seem to be able to determine which game a section of the forum corresponds to (apart from the name of the game, but I don't even have that information when I hide a game).
However, I can make sure that the custom css you define in the extension is also applied to the forum. I'll do that in the next version.

BGA displays the event calendar in the “new games” section of the home page.
I've just published a version in which this section is necessarily visible, so that nobody misses the calendar.
It's temporary, I'll add an option tomorrow ...

The new summer of games banner in the homepage looks so cursed right now :'D waiting for the update you mentioned.

Should be better in a few hours now

(In version 1.9.35)

Edit : it's available

Thanks for the forum CSS update!
How I Hide BGA Forums with CSS:
e.g. Hanabi

1. Find Hanabi
2. Copy hide cell

   Code: Select all

   #bgaforum_102{display:none !important;}/*hide Hanabi forum*/

3. Right-click extension icon > Options > Custom CSS tab
4. Paste & Save

Alternatively hide all and show only select forums:

Code: Select all

.bgaforum{display:none !important;}/*Hide all forums*/

#bgaforum_102{display:block !important;}/*show Hanabi forum*/

Nice work McSam!

I'm hesitating to integrate all this into the extension in the end.
What would be needed is a file indicating for each game name (the name you can find in its url, like for example https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... reflection) its forum section.

Something like this:

{
“laserreflection": 609,
“regicide": 593,
(...)
}

What I need is a little time, or some help, @McSam would you be willing to create and maintain this file?

If it helps, in each game page (e.g. https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=hanabi) you should find a link to the forum as either "See all topics" or "Create a new topic!", which should have the forum number (i.e. https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=102).

Actually it gives me an idea to automatize this ...
I will try something!

Edit: nope, I can't find an easy way to find automatically this info

I agree it might not be an ideal feature for a few reasons, including complexity and the possibility of extra server load or processing time. If it can be hidden via custom CSS that might be sufficient for most users unless it's an extremely popular request.
