Wow. Forum works again. For how long. I have been getting errors for hours. Yet. Nothing looks fixed. No replies from bga on issues.

There was a notice that it would be under maintenance recently- so that may be related.

The name of the person appearing in the chat is the one who has canceled the game because fedup of waiting :-)

I don't see the problem. If the names were visible and it was possible to not accept, that would be an issue. But in the current configuration of things, I don't see why you need to see anyone's name (the name of the person who cancelled has no reason to appear either in my opinion).

Hi, you should better read my post, i dont ask to have the name displayed DURING accepting phase, this has been change couple of year ago and it is far better without the name displayed.
My suggestion is:
- When 5 player has accepted on 6 or 4 on 6 whatever and then 3mn has goes a aways cause one player dont accept the arena launch, if soemeone cancel, cause he his upset of waiting (and he is right), the name of the player(s) who did not accept the launch should be written somewhere.

We are all upset about people registering in arena match and then are AFK when it is time to launch the game

I understand you weren't saying that, I just don't understand why you need to see the name of the person who didn't accept. I agree that it's annoying, but I don't see how that's justification that we should see their name.

You also seem to think that the person who cancels is less in the wrong than the one who took too long to accept, which I disagree with. Both are annoying, and the person who cancelled is causing everyone to have to go look for another game, when maybe the game would have started if they had waited just a bit longer. But here again, I don't see why I need to know their name.
