No Time Joker Anywhere!

Hi, Im a premium member, and I have searched everywhere, both on laptop and app, and the time joker is GONE. It's critical for me as I'm sick and need to get offline for a few days. Help

Click on the meeple, click on 'view on all current tables', look for a stop watch symbol at the top right.

I feel like it does move around.

I feel like it does move around.

I mean, per this thread: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43061, it hasn't moved in at least 2.5 months. I don't think I've ever used it, but since the new games in progress page was launched, I don't think it's moved. I think people just forget where it is since it's used so rarely. The question is, where do people look for it - maybe BGA should add some additional links to it?

I would say I look for it every 4 to 6 months, so that sounds like a time scale on which it would feel like it moves (and reinforced by memory issues).

I'm pretty sure my first thought is always to go to my profile, but I'm not sure it that is just what I see as a logical first step or because at one time a decade ago it was in that location.

I think it's been in the "Games in progress" page (https://boardgamearena.com/gameinprogress) for quite a while, although it may have moved in the page.

The thing is the page itself is kind of hidden. I only know one way to access it (besides directly by its URL): open your profile menu by clicking on the top-right avatar, then the leftmost-tab, and the "View all current tables" button. But that only works if you have some game in progress or at least are waiting at some table, otherwise you only see "View game history", which leads to the stats page instead. Of course, it only makes sense to use a time joker if you have some ongoing game, but it's still a confusing interface and doesn't help finding the feature before you need it.

The first time I ever saw it I found it by accident. The one time actually I used it (to test something to answer a question in the forums) it took me forever to find it again. It definitely didn't feel like it was an intuitive place. If I have to find it again I'll probably forget and have to search for one of these threads.
