    @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.

          New board vs old board above. Notice how much clearer and more legible everything on the old board is. Font on tiles is dark, thick, more readable etc. Colors and fonts on new board not nice to look at for long and causing eye strain.

            Can't edit posts in this thread and wanted to add something. Notice how the font on old board is also bigger and fits the tiles more uniformly. Things like this are important when you're looking at the board for a long time. Hope this helps.

              And notice how washed out the new board looks. It's like it's clouded up by fog. The 'white' tiles are some sort of murky grey, the yellow is muted. Nothing pops.

                Suggestion. Here is the board from the email games. From what I understand, this doesn't use flash yet manages to preserve the look of the flash board. Perhaps you could implement this instead?

                      Thanks for the updates Raj/Jay. Letters on tiles still hard to see though. Please make them thicker, larger and a darker black.

                        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.

                        Edit: Please get rid of all the obvious bots e.g. the ones with no avatar, strange names and never seen on flash version. We don't need bots in the main room, save them for the bot room, or clearly label them as bots.

                          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!

                          @EmbraceableEwe Hello I'm also playing this game with my pc(window 10), but I can see the scroll bar for both the section in play live as well as in join game.

                                    @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.

                                    Could you please just make it so that our old rating is applied regardless of whether it's higher or lower. My old regular rating isn't great but I've been playing for years and it helps me to play with people of a similar level. I'd actually prefer to keep my old lower rating as it is a reflection of my level after thousands of games. There are too many mismatches right now as the ratings are all over the place. My elderly parents feel the same. Thank you.
