Turn off the "next time you can leave a note"

The annoying popup that happens after EVERY SINGLE turn covers up your score perfectly (at least on Forest Shuffle). This is rather annoying because I play my turn and immediately glance at my score to see what it was and to see what is is after it ticks up. But I can't see any of that because the annoying reminder pops up immediately covering up your score.

That's been one of my longest-running wishlist things. I disable it whenever I develop games, but I wish BGA could handle it directly.

To be specific, it should not show up for experienced players. It should ESPECIALLY not show up for experienced players loading 10 turn-based games one after the other, which is an extremely common use case. Those players are well aware of the notes system, and will see the popup with every single turn they make unless the developer disabled it.

THIS!!! At the least, if I have seen it once in the last half hour, don't show me again. Its especially annoying on Forest Shuffle when I get into a turn based game when the other player is online. The turns are so quick and that stupid thing pops up every turn.

Yep. It is extremely disruptive for players who play lots of turn-based games (which I've stopped doing), to the point where I wonder if this is discouraged behavior. Or, I wonder if those in charge do not play lots of turn-based games and don't realize the impact it has.

I came here to see if anyone reported this because as someone who plays multiple asynchronous games, it adds a ton of unnecessary time waiting every turn on every game for it to clear.

Does the unofficial Chrome extension fix this? ( https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30509 )

If not, I suspect it would be easy for them to add.
