Notification inconsistency

Post by someDistractions »

When I click on my profile, then the exclamation point, there seems to be inconsistency with the "Table ABCD has ended" notifications.

Right now it shows one that I finished 35 minutes ago, but not the one I finished 5 minutes ago. The next one that shows is games from 5 days ago, even though I've played over a dozen since then.

There are times when I trigger end of game on turn based, then that notification isn't there. It makes it a hassle to try to look up the end of game scenario of even find out if I won or not.

If I click my profile, then click "my activity" the top item is 38 days ago.

But if I click my profile and the "295 games played" it will actually show the recent ones.

I may have something weird in my settings causing this. Does anyone else experiencing it? I'm not sure if it's a reportable bug.

This should go into general forum and not Ark Nova I believe.

It's the same for me and very likely everyone on BGA. These are just different kinds of notifications, no bugs.

This is a "game has ended notification". You don't need them in realtime games or if you triggered the end of the game on a turn-based table yourself, because you already know that it has ended.

These are special notifications, e. g. tournament results and achievements.

This is the complete list of games you played.

I always get the "game has ended notification" in turn-based games, no matter who triggered the end. A few minutes ago I made the final move in a turn-based Thurn-und-Taxis-game, the result was shown immediately in the game-overview (with ELO-changes and so on) and additionally I got the usual notification where I can look up all these infos again.
What do you mean by "triggering the end"? (My interpretation is "the last move/action before the end".)

This is also my interpretation. I was referring to your quote:

But I am not sure why you now say the opposite:

The two quotes saying the opposite are from someDistraction and from me. It´s true that I said the opposite of someDistraction´s quote - for years I have made another experience than they.
