Board Game Arena

It's annoying to get this notification EVERY TIME I move to a new game. Shouldn't BGA KNOW which game to feed me?

yeah, click the link. 'this other game'

Right, but I'm in 118 turn-based games and it comes up EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's like BGA is putting the "game I must play" at the end of the list. Certainly seems like a bug.

I also have this happen very often. When I click on the "x number of tables are waiting" to go to my next game, it will direct me to a game it says that I cannot play. Then I have to click the link to "this other game first" and play that one. But after playing that game, clicking on the next table button directs me to another unplayable game. This happens when I have multiple games of the same game, with varying game lengths. It seems to be sending me to the table with the least amount of playing time, but is forcing me to play at a table where it has been my turn the longest. Example, a 24h game and a 3 day game, the 24h table I have 19 hours left and has therefore been my turn for 5 hours, but the 3 day game has 2 days and 18 hours left and has been my turn for 6 hours.

With multiple of the same game going on I will constantly have to arrive at the 24h game only to finally redirect to the proper table, and repeat. The next table should send me to the next playable arena game, or arena should allow users to play the next game with shortest thinking time left. Since we are not selecting which tables to go to, it seems silly that the site is sending us to a table that we cannot play.

It's VERY frustrating.

Thanks for reporting this. The table redirection will be improved with the next release to avoid this.

Next release didn't happen yet, so yes. Nothing is happening instantaneously or magically, even when using CAPS.
