Tile recall
-
The Lexulous prig @dan-mitchell said in Tile recall:
Probably because it stays up for at least 10 seconds once you've placed it,
I love this attempt to stretch. It stays up exactly 10 seconds, every time. That's what it's set for. It used to be 5, and they changed it when I bitched about it.
and that 10 seconds starts from zero again every time you type or delete a letter.
This is new – it didn't use to. I bet when they changed this is when they messed up the arrow worse than it already was, so that many times you can't even type a letter into a tile with the arrow active anymore.
That's sufficient for most people to enter and edit a word. You seriously can't make at least one input per 10 seconds to keep it active?
Tell us about it, smarty pants. This isn't speed chess, and a player shouldn't have to hurry if he doesn't feel like it. Nobody has produced one single reason why the arrow should disappear. It didn't use to – did anyone ever complain about that? No, they didn't. If anybody did, let's see it.
Moreover, it was a distinctive and graphically attractive arrow, not like the current one which was simply pulled out of a standard character set and is ugly.
Furthermore, why should I have to jump through a hoop to keep it active anyway?
You always need over 10 seconds of thinking time between entering one letter and the next?
There you go, stretching again in defense of your dubious viewpoint. Needless to say, it's not a matter of always needing anything, but that sometimes the arrow goes out on me and that this is always an irritation when it does.
Why are you even activating the arrow if you're not planning on using it as intended within a reasonable amount of time?
Who the hell are you to tell me what a reasonable amount of time is? Are you Mr. Speedmaster or something?
I guess it could get mildly annoying if you're the kind of person who likes to try out a million different words in one single spot (in combination with checking score strength) before actually submitting your move.
Maybe I am. Or maybe it's something else. In any event it's happening and it's a pointless nuisance.
But if that's the case, why would it bug you so much to click the board now and again to reactivate the arrow?
Because I shouldn't have to click the board now and again – i.e. repeatedly – to reactivate the frigging arrow.
Anyway, you've been blathering on about the arrow 'issue' for weeks and they haven't done anything about it,
I wouldn't say that. First they lengthened it to 10 seconds, and then they made it so it starts over when you enter a letter. That's quite something, actually. What they should do, however, is correct the initial mistake and eliminate the questionable arrow transiency altogether.
I like your attitude: If at first you don't succeed, give up!
so my advice would be to stop sounding like a broken record and get over it. Or send them a direct email.
When I want your advice I'll ask for it.

Hi Admin, playing fast games and recalling tiles is time consuming. On the last platform we could backspace to recall tiles now it takes precious time to hit the recall tiles. So frustrating
@terrijay you need to update the bots you use or perhaps deal with the reason you need to play very fast games to perhaps keep the OCD in check. Elastic bands on the wrists are said to be helpful for those who, like you suffer from OCD, what happened to you to cause the OCD is not your fault nor is it other peoples, so rather than take it out on people trying to mind their own business try the elastic band method first, (you twang/flick the band into your wrist with every unwanted thought you have whilst waiting for the tile recall to sort itself out) good luck with the therapy.
