List of players I can invite

Post by Peyrol »

My browser is Firefox under Linux. When I start a table (which is always Hex) there has been a list of available players I could scan and click on to invite a specific player. Until today, that is. Was this feature removed? Thanks for a clue.

I also no longer see it. Maybe it is another attempt to reduce the number of queries hitting their database.

Is this in old-lobby style creation? Cause I can still see it, if we're talking about the same thing.

If I understand what the OP is talking about, it's not the "Play with friends" option beneath the Real-Time/Turn-Based selector that gone, it's the "people who know this game" list that would appear on the game configuration page itself that had "invite" buttons next to a long list of users and their Elo who were both online and presumably had played the game before. It used to appear below the "Players at this table" box.

Ah I think this has been mentioned before and I thought I hadn't seen it then either. Is it only for RT games?

This is not what we're talking about. This would just be a list of people on your friends list who are online, not a list of EVERYONE online who has played the game before.

That's correct, real-time only. I get all the turn-based play I want from another server.

Maybe it would be good idea to put your vote on bug report about that? More votes, more chance BGA team will notice and fix that. Someone already made that report.
