    @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.

      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.

        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 @jjf1012 Thank you for the feedback.

        • 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.

        Right now our team is just working to ensure the game play is as smooth as possible.

        Do continue to share your feedback & requests.

          @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.

            @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?

                @lexulous Thanks for the response. Can't believe I missed the dark mode lol. Looks great. Nice to know lobby is coming back as well (please make sure it's visible during games). Good news is the gameplay is working well on new version. Smooth and snappy, no crashes or major bugs etc. Keep up the good work.

                  Quick point regarding the aesthetics of the board. I've noticed the new board is very pale and the letters are very thin, unclear and not well defined. Please make the board and tiles clearer, crisper, brighter, maybe bigger. Make the font on the tiles darker and thicker etc. Do a side by side with the old board and you'll see what I mean. Cheers.

                    @Martha-Lucia Hover over 'game' during gameplay for sound option. Sounds currently aren't enabled by default.

                          @Evelyn-Jordan Might be able to unconfuse you might not. Don't know unless we try so what is it? I am not familiar with a lot here so I generally do not respond but, I can try

                            I don't know where to report bugs and missing features.

                            I find the beta version to be discouraging. I can't even see the simple Win/Loss ratio of another player in their stats. I mean, there are plenty of new statistics, but where are the W/L, last 10 games outcomes, and list of stored games that is in the classic version?

                            I don't understand how to view more than 20-ish players in the "Play Live" list. I can sort to view the players with the highest or lowest rating, but I don't see a scroll bar that will let me see the full list. Similarly, there is no scroll bar on my computer for the "Join Game" list, so I can view five games.

                            This means the beta system is very limited in functionality as compared to the old one, at least on my old Windows laptop. Maybe it works better on a tablet or phone, but it's a mess on the computer version, at least for my setup.

                            I'll miss Lexulous when the old board is gone. I really did enjoy it!

                                    I'm using a laptop with a touchpad, so no mouse. I tried clicking in the list of games or list of players then moving on the touchpad but that does nothing.

                                      @EmbraceableEwe Works for me now on laptop with touchpad. Just hover over one of the lists. Your cursor should change to a hand pointing icon. Now use side of your touchpad to scroll, or try two finger scrolling if you have that enabled. Admins said a scroll bar will be added for the main release anyway. I just hope they sort out the font on the tiles.

                                        @Dan-Mitchell You're probably using Windows 10. The computer I'm currently using is still on 7. Maybe that's the difference.
