Feature Requests

@mistertoad said in Staff? Who?: Please can we either have a list of staff nicknames on the site or have them highlighted (or a coloured background)? I get confused with not knowing if replies are authoritive or not. I regret your confusion. Perhaps the best you can do is simply give up on the idea of getting any authoritative replies here.

I wrote (July 21 and 23): The square numbers are smaller in the new layout. Why? Was anyone complaining about their size in the old one? I wasn't. The new ones look spindly, like the tile letters themselves. Why did you change 𝘢𝘯𝘺 of the typography when there wasn't anything wrong with it and people liked it the way it was? I withdraw my prior criticism of the tile typography. I've gotten used to the new letter style and now prefer it. I guess I was just used to the way it was before and resistant to what seemed to be unnecessary change. I'm still complaining about the dull gray star, however, and the ugly black arrow. The prior star and arrow should be restored. The arrow should also work as before, of course. Also, the Define box should be green rather than the present dull dark gray, and as I've observed before, the return key should trigger Define when the text cursor is in the "Type a word here" field.

1 - As a 'Feature Request' I ask for the creation of a new thread to accommodate the travelogue posts. This assumes that all these "Hello" posts are indeed from Lexulous staff. Please can someone tell us if this is so? 2 - Posts by Lexulous staff should contain the word 'STAFF'. Here's an example: sakamvari (STAFF)

@zaph Thank you for sharing this. We will pass your suggestion to the development team for consideration.

@suschwager Thank you for sharing this. We will pass your suggestion to the development team for consideration.

@dan-mitchell said in select and save chats, allow live links in chats.: It's another minor frustration and change for the worse (like the arrow timeout thing etc) but they all add up. I wonder how many of these suggestions are actually getting passed on, let alone acted upon. This sounds somehow familiar.

@latiflorus This is the same as what I've been saying – see my comments on "Transient Arrow".

@dan-mitchell said in [pass confirmation?] "... They have a 'move confirmation' toggle, so why not the other one?" That is exactly why i said make it a toggle. :-)

@mapmakere I am so frustrated with chat on the new board as miyi opponent does not receive the

@zaph Obviously there would be default settings. What is the big deal?

@dan-mitchell Yes, I have no idea why I called it the Chat window when I actually meant the 'Scribble notes' window. Why call it a 'bird' when you can call it a 'fish' and confuse everybody?! LOL Sorry!

@mapmakere said in My wishlist -- that Hosted games would have 50 or so bytes for description: chacun son gout well, que sera sera and c'est la vie and all that sort of thing, too! :-)

@karinja Thank you for sharing this. We will pass your suggestion to the development team for consideration.

@mistertoad Yes, I can see the list of games but it now says "14 days to go" whereas it used to give the time since the last player moved which I found much more helpful. For example if it said 4 or 5 minutes, I knew they would probably still be playing, but if it was an hour I could bet they have left the game and gone off to do something else. My most regular opponent is a relative who lives some distance from me, so we use this as a way to play and chat.

@mistertoad You have a point, but on the other hand once one knew the notes were private, or if one correctly assumed they were from the beginning, the constantly seen "private" would be superfluous and annoying. Already similarly annoying now is the rather lame yet constantly repeated joke "Scribble", and the lack of consistency over the three panes. If the three-point ellipsis isn't necessary after "Type a word here" in the Dictionary pane, it isn't necessary after "Type notes here" (distinctly preferable to "Scribble notes here") in the Tools pane either. Furthermore, "Type reply here" should be restored to the Chat pane as in the prior version. Thus: Chat: Type reply here Dictionary: Type a word here Tools: Type notes here The only reason I can imagine for the deletion of "Type reply here" in the Chat pane of the new version is that some bright person thought, "Aha, but the first chat text isn't a reply!" and so deleted the line entirely. Better – and presumably still doable – would be to program it so that "Enter chat text here" changed to "Enter reply here" following the first entry. Not that there's much chance of this simple corrective enhancement being implemented, though I would enjoy being proved wrong.

@thatguythere202 Apologies for the inconvenience caused to you. From which device you purchased the Pro subscription?
