Board Game Arena

Just curious, was testing an Alpha game, and wanted to file/provide info on suggestion/minor bug ... but when I go through the normal Create new report and put the Table # .., it comes up with the wrong game (obviously the table #'s in "dev" are different than what the main site references).

so just wondering .. what is the proper way of doing this for games/modules/updates in Alpha ?
(Do I post a message in the game-specific forum? or is there a better spot in developer section ?
Or should I post a comment in the Games Group section ?

Just wondering what the proper process is.

Bug reports work the same for alpha games, so it should show the correct project.
You can create it from the top right menu in the game so the table number is automatically filled.

In addition, please note that, as an alpha tester, you are kindly asked to refrain from publicizing the names of games or expansions in alpha state, in order not to create unfounded expectations.

ahhh noted! Sorry ..,

That's what I thought, however, this one is not behaving the same.
Table # doesn't show up ..
I go into the game, click "Bug Report" .. and it only gives me option to enter general bug report for the BGA website, not the game specifically ..

I'm also in the developer side/site and have verified I'm a valid reviewer ... (but relatively new to this .. sooo )
Still not quite finding the proper place to add these things ...

It makes a difference whether you play on studio.boardgamearena.com (the developer site) or boardgamearena.com (the user facing site). Soma alpha games are available on the latter and only for them bug reporting works against the tables played there.

Right .., so how does one report a bug from a game then . when you click on "report bug" .. ,you end up here:
(on the developer site)

I get these prompts:

so .. is this the right place to add a bug for this? or should it be coming up with the game?

EDIT: Ok, I think I figured it out .. I guess perhaps I wasn't added (yet) to the (private) alpha of the game .., however, I seem to have access now
(on the proper/main site, NOT the studio site .. so that was issue )

Thanks all!
