Where is the 'display options' button? I can't find it anywhere. I looked in preferences but it wasn't there.

I'd apreciate the lobby to show alive again. Now is not. Like a vending machine

I love the new lobby. It's more powerful, more flexible, and better looking - which is pretty much a trifecta. Thanks for taking the early constructive feedback (those few changes made a big difference) and all the hard work!

This is a difficult question. If we are doing this, this may leads to situations where you are waiting for a player to start the game... while this player is waiting for another player on another table to start a game. The simplest solution is to do what we are doing at now. Not sure we can solve this problem to optimize this in the future. Ideas are welcome on this subject (but not on this forum thread).

We just introduced a new "Tiny icons" mode that should suits your needs :)

This is a bug and is going to be fixed soon.

This option is a the bottom of the "Favorite games" box.

A new "Tiny icons" display is now available :)

On top right of your "favorite games" section.

Yes it is! You can use the "See all tables" option at the bottom of the "Favorites games" (the tutorial should have suggested you this option if you have many favorites).

Again: if you are nostalgic from the old lobby, use the "See all tables" options + "small icons" from display options.



I'd like to thank you again for all your feedback. There is still a lot of work to do but we have the feeling that we are in the good direction :)

The display options and the button "show all tables" is only available if you have at least 3 games in your favorites. Don't know if that is intended but it doesn't make sense to me. (I am using firefox browser on desktop pc.)

Hopefully, one of your top priorities for the next steps is to evolve 'Recommended Games' section of the lobby. I think the suggestion to put it at the bottom of the page is quite good. Or at least give me the display options for that games, too.

Thanks again for all the improvements so far.

Hello, thanks for all your efforts in upgrading the lobby ! It's very appreciated, keep up the good work !

Would it be possible to have a feature to sort/group open tables together by game in Manual Mode ? Currently it's sorted by new/recently created.

Cheers,
Y.
