Tiles harder to read
-
Hello,
I still love Lex - but with the new design, I find the points (#) to be so large on the tile (that seems smaller) that I cannot see the letters as clearly as before.
Just the basic ability to focus on the letters would help. Aren't the # bigger now??
Thanks. -
@mapmakere The font option only applies to chat.
@jsm
I see what you mean. I made a few complaints about the font initially but have actually gotten used to it now. I guess it would still be nice to have a bold option that makes the letters thicker, larger and centers them a bit. Just look at all the unused space on the tile. They wouldn't even have to change the numbers (which are fine IMO). The numbers were actually bigger on the flash version, it's just the smaller letters and inefficient use of space that create the illusion that they're larger now. -
To be fair, I can see why some might actually prefer the way they are now ie a clear distinction between letter and number, not overly bold etc. It would be nice to have both options though. And thanks to the devs for the chat font options. It's really cool to see all the improvements and additions. Everything is a lot more responsive now as well so I guess all the backend stuff has been tidied up.

If you look at something like the
or 
you can see that it would be hard to go much bigger without making the numbers too small or going too close. I see why they've kept the consistency and actually think they've done a pretty good job, especially when you look at the board as a whole.I've also just been playing around with the different tile colors. There seems to be a bug in that they always default to the standard yellow on the board once you've played a word, even if you've chosen the darker tiles.

@lexulous Thank you! It's good to know you are listening. I want to emphasize that I like a lot about the newest revisions - the definition is there, for example. And I just noticed that the % of unseen tiles that are vowels is also visible. Pretty good additions!
I just wish I had spelled TILES correctly in my headline - for a word game, augh!!! -
@dan-mitchell I love it! Thank you! Just started learning my away around more than just the playing board here on Lex...I appreciate your help.

The above bug I mentioned has been fixed, thanks to admins, devs etc. The regular V2 website is now working very well for me (Chrome, Windows 10). I've found a few more minor bugs but I know you're busy dealing with people ranting about the new mobile apps, V2 becoming default and so on so I'll shut up for a while. I'll say this though: I have no desire to go back to the flash or beta versions now thanks to all the additions and improvements.

@dan-mitchell Ditto. In fact, I've been gobsmacked over the rudeness of some of those complainers. I think @Lexulous and @sakamvari and the team have done a great job not only of trouble-shooting but in maintaining a calm and polite manner.

@dan-mitchell Do share the other issues via email admin@lexulous.com

@mapmakere
Agreed. Like they don't appreciate the effort that goes into producing all the bells and whistles so we can have fun
