Board Game Arena

Hi,

thanks for the chrome extension. Will you be able to add a feature where we can go invisible on this site so nobody can see us playing a game?

Thanks

Sadly I doubt that's something the extension can implement because as soon as you interact with bga (technically have an active session) you are displayed as online. Which is the reason turning on the background notifications causes you to be online as soon as you open the browser.

Feel free to upvote the related suggestion https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=17208

I agree
It's not possible to add this kind of features in a Browser extension.
Sorry...

Version 1.12.5 has been released.
This version includes some major changes to the project architecture, but nothing you're likely to notice ... it should mainly improve the project's maintainability.
However, a small bug preventing the game navigation menu from loading in some cases has been fixed.

This version brings dark mode fixes for the following games:
- French Tarot
- Gatsby
- Hoipho
- Monster Trick
- Yaxha

Version 1.12.7 has been released.
This version has followed a strict diet to lose 270kb, but again you shouldn't see any noticeable changes (if you do, you know where the bug notification button is ).

This release brings dark mode fixes for the following games:
- Apiary
- Carson City
- Cookie Battle
- Ink
- King of Tokyo (dark edition)
- Luz

Version 1.12.7 introduced a rather important bug: for some games the page no longer loads at all if you're in light mode, and initializing it takes a lot of CPU.
I've just released a new version with a fix, but it probably won't be available for another 1 or 2 days.
Really sorry about that ...

Version 1.12.9 has been released
Fix an issue with "main board button" and "bottom button" in side menu.
Fix dark mode for :
- Astra
- Castle of Mad King Ludwig
- Finca
- Junk Drawer
- Rumble Nation
- Verso

I cannot seem to hide friends online/offline notifications in game logs (in Chrome). I tried toggling the setting under games parameters but the annoying notifications keep appearing. Is anyone else having this issue? Anything else I can try?

It's strange, I just checked and it's working for me.
We agree that youroption is displaying the text "The friends' activity is hidden in game logs" ? (It's the default value when you install the extension btw)
The extension check if a message should be hidden each time a new message is added to the game log, so when you change the value of the settings it doesn't delete any messages immediately.

Yes, believe so, see screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/xN0hICX

I also tried deleting and reinstalling the extension.
