Problem selecting big meeple

In addition to the widely reported issues with game speed since the update, I've found that I sometimes encounter a problem with selecting the big meeple successfully. Is this just me? I've had the same issue in various browsers and with different tile sets. I select the big meeple, it highlights as usual, but it then seems to be completely random whether the game recognises this request or not. Maybe one in four or five times a small meeple is played instead. This is fine sometimes, but I've lost three or four close games now because of this fault. My tolerance is wearing thin!

Another reason to enable a confirmation button after placing the meeple.

Confirmation could be made faster by simply clicking the meeple a second time (useful for the tiles, too).

Both your comments should be posted in the bug section. https://boardgamearena.com/bugs

When you post there, AFAIK the developer gets a notification and people can add further reports and upvote the issue.

When you post a bug, you should always post a table number and ideally turn number. Otherwise it is impossible to solve the problem. The more specific the bug report, the more likely something happens. Really.

Thanks, and yes I reported this as a bug when it happened – just interested to see if other people were having the same problem.

This is a great idea!

I think it is usefull to add the link to the already made bug report to your first post! People with similar experiences can add their reports there (including table numbers). I mean, bugs that appear only occasionally are probably hard to pin down without a bunch of concrete examples of tables.
