2021 New Format

@clarisepatton Me too Clarise. I never, ever play Live - only play from email notifications. No-one has answered this query yet. I hvae had to keep an old game in my inbox - I click on it, then go to NEXT and it brings me to the current games.

@callingbirds, try

for your game list (plus more) -
@shaggydogswerve has mentioned a previous "press space bar to shuffle" option that I was unaware of or I would have used it constantly. Not wanting to have to keep clicking all the time – which is more difficult on a trackpad than with a mouse – I quickly devised a Mac Keyboard Maestro macro to click on the button, but I keep having to adjust the window to conform to the macro, or to adjust the macro when something has changed in the window.
I was just now getting ready to suggest a keycode for shuffle and undo ("undo" is totally appropriate, since anything put on the board is "done"; "recall", again, looks pompous and pretentious, high-falutin' and la-di-da, and makes one think of Gavin Newsom and similar political unpleasantries), and if keycodes are possible for these – as I suppose they are – they're possible also for pass and swap, and why not. The space bar would be fine for shuffling, so why don't you reinstate that as suggested. Thanks.

So new format doesnt apply to the Facebook game yet - will it?
-
@clarisepatton I have been using an old game to access recent ones also for several weeks now , and afraid I am going to lose access. wish they would fix this problem with Microsoft soon!
-
@haggade I even changed my email trying to notification t o gmail. Not working. I too am saving an old game or checking every so often to see. It's a hassle. I just made a new account, Maybe this will work as my cohorts are still getting email notifications. I've written to admin three times, always the same answer log in to play. Not user friendly.
-
I do not like the new format. And also, there is a 'chat' box, but no chats go thru to the other player??? Can you fix this.
-
@lusciousgrape I experienced something similar and made a thread about it. Perhaps it's a more widespread problem.
-
@haggade I finally requested they delete my account, for both emails and I would start again. They then must have taken a closer look and told me my gmail was blocked. They unblocked and now I am getting emails. I would prefer them in my hotmail.account, but that seems too high a hill to climb.
"We found that your email was blocked, we have tried to unblock it and you should have got an email notification once again. Do let us know if your games are back on email." So I am now getting emails on a gmail account. -
The new format has plusses, okay. But negatives are serious. I do not get a notice that my opponent has played a word. If, rarely, I DO receive an email saying it's my turn, she does not get that notice. In other words, this new format is barely, rarely functioning like the former format. SO sorry you had to change.
PLEASE fix the game between TennisGranny and JoWriter as soon as you can!
Thank you in advance for your help. JoWriter -

@peony5591 The whole thing is ridiculous. The old format worked fine and the new one sucks.

@lusciousgrape I agree100%. If its not broken, dont try to fix it.

@lusciousgrape, sorry, but no.
