@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.

I've been asked by another player to request that the games sound be on by default instead of having to turn it on each time they refresh. I haven't found it goes off, myself, but they say it happens to them.

@gimmeadeal There's an icon of a microphone in the upper right of the lobby chat. Clicking it will turn off the bingo recitations.

@mistertoad Some of that may be valid. But when words such as die, silly, death, lesbian, ridiculous, and other innocuous words one might use in a friendly convo are banned, it can make conversation difficult.

@mapmakere Both are back now, and wider than before. Thanks @lexulous!

@mistertoad So you don't get stuck at the end I expect...the high-counters are harder to place as the board gets fuller.

Re: brickbats and bouquets

Bouquets:
1)the down arrow when posting on the righthand edge.
2) The return of pm'ing.
3) The clearer new font

@betterlate1-0 Idk who the clowns are, but how can anyone have made it so she can't see the chat there?

@betterlate1-0 Because they are unable to type in here, unverified email problem.

G'morning @lexulous, I notice the people on one's friends' list aren't at the top of the players list today. Is that a temporary glitch? It's been handy to find them there for games.
Also, I've been meaning to say big thanks for the 'resume game' thing that happens after a refresh or brief disconnect.

@dan I think most regular chatters there figure it out pretty quicky; it IS annoying tho.

@sparks If that's about the inability of one to type certain words in the lobby, then I second it. Here are some which result in the whole line not appearing: silly, stupid, gay, ridiculous, lesbian, jerk.

@bernie-s You're*

@roymccoy To clarify, I mean those and other words are banned in the lobby, not in a game.

@mistertoad Some of that may be valid. But when words such as die, silly, death, lesbian, ridiculous, and other innocuous words one might use in a friendly convo are banned, it can make conversation difficult.

@dan Yeah...Ive seen many accusations of using a word generator, but precious little proof!

@anexparrot At one time, the offensive word would be replaced by dots so you could still get the gist of the thought. I'd like that back again. I posted about it a couple of months ago, and @sakamvari said they'd look into it.

@anexparrot That would have been my fourth guess! Thanks.

@anexparrot I don't care one way or the other about the avatars, really, but were your ears burning last evng? A few of us wondered about your nick: does it mean 1) Ex paratrooper 2) you used to be a parrot (and if so, what are you now?) or 3) or are you a parrot that lives in the Annex neighbourhood in Toronto (but you couldn't fit in the other 'n').

@sakamvari Add more variations of what tho? It's the filtering of certain words that's the the problem.
