    I've been playing for a few weeks here and haven't been happy...I have invited DOZENS of people to play, but usually end up playing a bot which I do not want to do. I see other real people playing but can't get anyone to accept an invite. No real person has ever joined a game I set up, either.

      Elise-I totally agree. I have had a couple of people accept the invites, but you have to wait forever. I hate playing the bot because you know you are going to lose. Very frustrating. If I see you out there, I'll invite you. Thanks for the post.

                There needs to be the ability to play the bots at an UNRATED game! Who the hell is going to beta test anything for you while getting stripped of points? Happy to have a go and provide feedback, but not if using an unknown format, a whole new layout, while playing a bot cheat! I've tried heaps, but the bots just don't want to play my unrated games....

                    Is there any way to make the squares/tiles bigger and darker as I find them difficult to read?
                    Any way to sort the players via rating?
                    Can you scroll with mouse through ongoing games?

                        @jjf1012 We'll offer the theme options very soon for the board. Click on the rating title to sort. Yes you can scroll with the mouse, just put the pointer on the relevant area and scroll.

                          @lexulous right o, played 3 games, didnt mind it. Managed to win 1. One gripe is the "shuffle" pop up box that comes up when you hover over shuffle. Not needed I dont think and distracting

                              I've been playing for years and appreciate this site. After playing around with the interface for the new version, here are my initial thoughts on things to fix:
                              I can't scroll the list of players, available games or watchable games.
                              Please get rid of all the obvious bots e.g. the ones with no avatar, strange names and never seen on non-flash version etc.
                              Allow us to transfer our rating. Why should I have a new lower rating when logging into this new version?
                              Add some different boards.
                              Add a dark mode. No need for all that white space around the edges of the screen. This would be easier on the eyes and improve concentration.
                              Don't kill off the flash version. Some regulars might still prefer it if it continues to function.
                              I may add further suggestions soon after playing a few games. Thanks for listening.

                                @Dan-Mitchell Agree the board is really difficult to see and make out the letters.

                                  @jjf1012 Yes, an option for a bigger board would be great. I'm also curious if the lobby if going to survive? I don't use it much but I think admins should keep it. Lots of people chat there. It's not always polite, but the site may feel a little dead without it.

                                        @Dan-Mitchell you do realise this is a beta test version before the full version is released don't you? The bots are there so you have an opportunity to play and provide feedback so the format can be improved. Unrated bots are available so you don't lose points, should you choose to play them. They are clearly labelled as bots already.

                                          • Scrolling works if you put the mouse on the list and use the mouse-wheel. Separate scroll bar will be added in next iteration.
                                          • Option to show/hide bots will be added.
                                          • When the new site launches, your old rating will be applied (if it's higher than the new rating).
                                          • Dark mode already present on new website at https://www.lexulous.com/v2/ - check in the Settings page.
                                          • Lobby chat will also be present.

                                          @lexulous I still can't scroll with the mouse.
                                          Tried altering setting to dark but just seemed to make whole site turn black rather than actual play board's squares and letters.
                                          Could the font for the letters be made clearer?
