What about the people who like glacially slow conversations? One sentence every 11 months?

Two unrelated requests that probably have already been asked for:

1. Please, can we have a formula in settings for minimum/maximum times we want to play? (Recently I forgot to look at an incoming match, and it turned out it was for a fast game, which I didn't want to play.)

2. It seems like censoring only has an effect on lobby/chatting. I'm sure a lot of us want it to also block people from joining our games!

Thank you.

Recently I was playing and had the following possible bingo:

I point your attention to the Score thermometer, which implies that is one of the best plays.

Luckily, I noticed a better spot:

Isn't it a bit weird that both a 79 point and a 122 point play get 'best' rating?

I wonder if sometimes lex gets too busy and stops looking for possible plays?

@dan-mitchell

Perhaps they have fixed censoring.

I agree with you that a very different visual look for the dialog boxes for 'match' vs. 'join' would be very nice.

Don't you wonder if some people match randomly with fast games in hopes of an easy win?

@lolamoth Sounds like the glitch that happens when the system places you in two games at the same time. The one you can't see gets deleted when you don't play and can mess up the one you're currently viewing. It will sometimes kick you out and look like the game's suddenly ended. Just refresh the page and it should sort itself out. You'll be placed back in the correct game.

Yes, I agree with Dan. This bug is also annoying because it can be confusing about whom you're talking to, and I assume that one opponent thinks you sat until it timed out.

@mapmakere LOL, it's a reference to 'a non-existent species of parrot, called a "Norwegian Blue".' Or rather an ex-non-existent one. Youtube

@sparks I don't like censorship either.

Also, I'm not sure if lex still does this, but in the past they would just drop whole lines that had 'offending' words. The problem was that they didn't notify either the sender or the reader that something had been removed. Which can be confusing!

@dan Wow, that is even weirder! Makes you wonder how they divide game seeks and why they do it.

I don't know about the rest of you, but sometimes it takes a really long time for somebody to join my games. It was so bad recently that I asked a relative to sign up and see if she could see my game in the 'join' list. She couldn't! (And yes, she could see all the other games in the 'join' list.)

Clearly some people can see my games because after a while people join, but what is going on?

Is game analysis broken for everybody or is it something on my computer?
It worked in the past, but lately when I click to analyze a game I just get a spinning circle.

@anexparrot That's what family is for.

LOL good one!

@roymccoy No, what I meant was for that play there were not too many words on the board, so not too many spots for the code to consider.
