Too bad I can't play using my iPad. I am a new user and tried to play a game of Saboteur and couldn't move any cards or even write in the chat window to apologize to the other players. I even got a thumbs down because I didn't quit fast enough...

Why do you think that is so? Is it BGA javascript which is not standard, or is it the browser on the iPad that doesn't accept standard Javascript?

BGA seems to work on many recent browsers (Firefox 3.5+, Google Chrome 4+, IE 8+, Safari 4+; the most efficient being Firefox 4+ and Chrome 10+, as explained here http://fr.boardgamearena.com/#!doc/Browserpolicy -- could only find French version, sorry). I would say that it is the browser on the iPad which prevents you from playing properly. Still, I am not absolutely sure about it.

Which version is it on the iPad? Have you tried Safari 4+ on a Mac? Maybe it is a Safari problem on that specific game, unrelated to the iPad. (Sorry, I do not have an iPad nor a recent Mac myself)
