Suppress the "Other games in progress" part from "gameinprogress" web page

Post by menettm »

Hi,

I have made the following bug/suggestion entry about the Game in progress web page : https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=107385

Today the "Other games in progress" part represent 750 lines because 749 games are listed. :shock:
This "Other games in progress" list seems often (to not say always) not really useful! :|

When I use the "View all current tables" button or "Get back to tables list" button it is not to view the other games in progress, but only my games in progress.
For me on "Game in progress" page should only show "Your games in progress" and a link to see a dedicated web page for "Other games in progress".
Doing what I propose, will permit to load the "gameinprogress" web page more quickly with a bad mobile connection. 8-)

I am taking advantage of this improvement request to also ask to add some additional information on each line of my games in progress:
- Indicate the tournament name if this part is for a tournament. This must be a link to this tournament.
- Indicate the total time remaining for the game or the maximum ending date of the game.
- Indicate the time remaining for me in this game.
- Sort the players according to the same order as in the game (if this does not change).
- Sort games by maximum future ending order.

Best regards. Menettm. ;)

I definitely agree. I don't know if it will speed up the request time or not, but it might.

I remember there was a different game in progress page which only shows your own games, but unfortunately that other page had some flaw -- maybe it didn't update dynamically, or something else. It has been a while since I looked into it.

I also support this request, particularly the part about Listing the tournament name.
I personally find the site difficult to navigate and have resorted to googling certain things to find them, tournaments being one of them.
