How can I get rid of a broken table for an alpha game?

This Mahjong table is broken - it gets a database error. I'm guessing it's a victim of some incompatible change. I'm not concerned about that - I just want to remove it from my table list. Is there a way to get rid of it?

Thanks!

Best method is:
1) copy table number

2) Go to the game page (page with all instructions etc)

3) go to a game in progress

4) change table number in url

Normal you get this: just use your table number at end

I find this easier:

When you’re on the screen of an unloaded game, edit the web address as follows:

https://boardgamearena.com/1/spades?table=132642740

After .com/ delete the number and the game name and type in the word table, so in the above example 1/spades would be replaced with table, then press the enter button.

Thanks all! I am not (yet) a full-fledged BGA Reviewer, so don't have access to that helpful information that's included in the BGA Reviewers group page. I had checked the two Announcements at the top of this forum - suggest adding this info to one of those.

This page is public, you do have access :D
But yes, we should add this somewhere and maybe find a better way to do this... but it's not obvious as in some cases when the game is broken, the full page is broken so...
