Experience from a new player

[LOTUK]

Just a quick throw out from myself and a remote friend who both played on here for the first time, which I think need to be addressed to help the platform. I know there are 'easy' ways to do the below, but only if you already know where to go.

1) Adding friends is frustratingly hard if you don't know where to go. We searched around everywhere unable to find how to add each other, needing to resort to Google to find that the add friend option is under Community and not under "Friends" (where it should at lest ALSO be) or your profile. This is at odds with pretty much all other software and one of the first things a group of people will experience signing up.

2) I know I saved a bunch of boardgames to my favourites, and at one point found my favourites, but I'm again at a complete loss of how to find this list (will have to google). I'd really expect to find it clearly under "Games" and/or my profile

Outside of the two issues above, you've done a downright sensational job of digitising boardgames. So much so that you've even managed to lower turn times by having the important opponent information clearly visible and in a way that is crystal clear, plus the tooltips and card description popups practically eliminate even needing a reference sheet. Great job! You may well have an ongoing subscriber from just this.

I'm a new player also (joined a while back but only started playing seriously within the last month)

Have a couple of questions:

1)Is there a good complete description of how holiday time jokers work? I will be offline for a few days in the near future and while I see the button to use a time joker, I am not sure what it will do. Along the same lines I'm not sure how far in advance I need to stop taking new games.

2) is there a way to see scrollback on 'general messages'? I can only see three

thanks!!

So No answer on how Holiday time jokers work?

Does it give extras time for all games you are currently in (turn based and not a tournament), or just one specific game (all tables you are in for that game), or one specific Game Table?

There doesn't seem to be anything in the FAQ, so where would we look to get the details of how these work?

It give extras time for all turn based games you are currently in (except tournaments, indeed).
