Please post this here https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... 9&start=30

It would be nice if we could get BGA admin to understand that this is a pretty universal opinion of members across the site.

Yes, go via Play Now and create a table from there.

Please don't be ignorant. Forum posts are never representative or even indicative of BGA users as a whole. This is an online service, that means the site runners have actual data and analytics to see how players use the site.

Yes, there are MANY players with the same problems, discussed in several threads. You can still use the old interface by clicking "Play Now" in the top left.

As mentioned above, please feel free to share a comment in the thread above, since the more posts that are made, the more likely the feedback is to be heard. Otherwise, the "Play Now" interface might be removed at some point.

These analytics can also be flawed. If users have always used the new version which is forced on them by default, then they will not know that a better version exists so they don't know if there's a better way to use the site.

Exactly. If analytics even do exist, then for example, they might say:

"Players rarely chat at a table when invited to it, before joining."


But the reality might be: "Invites use the new lobby system by default, and only advanced players know how to find their way back to the old lobby interface, where they would be allowed to chat, when formerly they could always chat there before accepting the invite."

^this omg this^ as my (and many other people's) posts in other threads there is so much wrong with the new system I can't believe it made it out of beta.

Can you chat even once you accept the invite? I still can't find how to do this under the new lobby and always have to revert through "play now" to find it.
