Board Game Arena

Just the other day, the notifications for turn-based tables has acted strange for me (and at least one other person, whom I asked). When before the waiting tables would pop up when they arrived, whether in the game icon near the Friends List, or when clicking one's profile picture up in the corner and opening the task bar there, or simply when having the the "view all current tables" page open, now the pages need to be refreshed or opened anew to show the waiting tables.

Is anyone else having this issue? Is it a new update, or is it a bug?

I'm having the same issues.

I have noticed the same behavior as well. If I look at the tab at the top of the browser page it will be flashing to indicate that it is my turn at at least one game as normal, however I usually leave the "my games in progress" page open on a second monitor, and that page does not update to show tables where it is my turn. The little yellow button in the upper right that shows a red number with number of tables it's your turn at also does not update. Both issues are resolved by refreshing the page. This makes it a lot harder to monitor my turns during the day while doing other things.

I'm seeing this too. My "game in progress" page doesn't update the table listings, the number of tables waiting for me, or the open tables list in the sidebar -- only the spinner gets updated, and then I have refresh the page to find the table to play at.

ETA: Firefox on Debian Linux.

Going to check for open bugs.

I've added an update to https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=177230 -- a bug from July describing the same problem -- and linked to this thread. Please review the bug & add any additional observations and/or vote for it.

Same problem (Firefox on Windows) and it's really cramping my style.

Lol, like they care or even look at all at the bug reports. The request to change the friends online status to not show up in the game log has been ignored for a long time now.

Some (though not all) of the reported bugs/suggestions do get fixed/implemented. None of the non-reported bugs/suggestions get fixed/implemented.
