Simple Lobby Mode is now available!

[thirdmar]

Is it possible to NOT be directed to a table with an expansion (Race for the Galaxy)? I'm no club member and I can't click on the expansions in the new lobby to set my preferences.

It's possible that since "base game" is white which is "default," that it might be OK. But it also might help to put Base Game on that green preference?

It seems a little odd for the expansions to not be a choice. The Simple Lobby isn't meant to start games, but rather join them, or at least that's my impression. So it seems illogical to not let you join an expansion when you could do that otherwise.

So I have to put Base Game on Default, not Preferred? I had it on Preferred and I was directed to some expansion that I didn't know. I'd want to select Never for all the expansions or something like Only for Base Game.

You are right, for non premium users we should allow to select "Never" on premium options for those who don't want to play with some options.

The new lobby has the same reputation restrictions as the classic lobby, so you are actually discussing the reputation filter in general and not the new lobby here: not an actual factor of choice between new and classic

Not true. I can set it to >85%. In fact, I would never create invites if I could not do that, because it's way too common to quit turn-based games, and new players are far more likely to do it. Before I started getting super-picky about the players on a game, around half of my games never finished. If a game doesn't have the >85% restriction (most don't), I'll wait and join last. This is just a serious problem with turn-based games.

Right, I forgot about that "Not recommanded" option!
Well, I suppose we could add it to the mix.

After this correction i have problems in Firefox browser
Often i need to change the scale of the page (text) for a
normal game, for example, in Race for the Galaxy.

I checked with Firefox and I haven't been able to see any problem. The Main Chat is available and the page displays correctly.
Did you try clearing your browser cache? (CTRL+F5)
Could you also give us your browser name, version and operating system? Did this start happening after yersterday evening 16:00 CET or did it happen before?

EDIT: nevermind, we managed to reproduce this, it happens only for some languages (for example Russian). Must be linked to some translation taking more space than expected on the page. We are looking into it.

EDIT: the problem was actually with yesterday's news, there was some specific markup that broke the translated news and impacted the site. It has been fixed now.

Thank you

"only for some languages"

its actualy for english version of site too now : (
same prolem with main chat in both versions(en and ru)

"Did this start happening after yersterday evening 16:00 CET or did it happen before?"

This problem was before.. but only sometimes and for some minutes..

I'm using 47 and it's nice to find someone on-board with me on this issue. Although I have more reasons than that.

Premium options have been unlocked so that non-premium users can select "Never". If something else than "Never" is selected, the usual rules apply: there must be at least one premium user wanting to play with this option for a game to start with this option.

The "Very good reputation" option is now available in the new lobby advanced game preferences.

You know, now that I think about it I may have interpreted this incorrectly. I was thinking about the reputation of the players taking the game, and not about the game having this restriction set. It's rare to actually see that restriction, and I care more about the players than restrictions. But... it doesn't hurt to have that option there.

It would be nice for the site to make a sound to notify you when a table is ready. Currently it switches to the "Game is about to start" page silently, and I have sometimes missed the start of a game for this reason.

Since yesterday it's hard to achieve turnaments and forum pages.
