Hey admins... if anyone is listening... some jokester is hijacking people's names in the lobby and turning them all into "Ginas" or "Testicles." Weird sense of humor, amusing to some I suppose; but pretty irksome to those of us who want to play real games with real people. Can you do something about this ASAP please?
Hear, hear. This feature is one of the last remaining bits needed to make the new Lexulous work as well as the old site (with all the bells and whistles that have been added). We all know change is difficult, but by now this new place is feeling a lot like home! Just please give us the ability to accept or reject players from our tables... tyvm
Many thanks to the Lexulous team for all the hard work, and the improvements in New Lexulous that have become apparent in the past few weeks. Here is something that I think many players would like to see implemented: The ability to accept or reject players who come to one's table. (This was a feature of the old Lexulous, but these days it seems as if, when you set a table, you are obliged either to play anyone who joins it or else delete the game.) If it ends up not being possible to accept-or-reject, how about bulking up Censor so that people whom one has censored can't join one's game? As far as I can see, at present they are able to do so. Thanks again...

"... and when you try to replace the real word Fibula
with a non-existent word like 'Fibia,'
your thinking is hazy like a Nebula...
I can't think of a good rhyme for Fibia.
Except Tibia."
@funkeymonkey so... if you play a higher-rated player and win, your rating will increase noticeably. If you play a lower-rated player and lose, your rating will decrease noticeably. But if you beat the lower rated player or lose to the higher rated player, the change in your rating (and in theirs) is more negligible. If you care about these things, check the advice about expected rating changes that the game gives you in the window that opens up when a game invitation is pending.
@betterlate1-0 Indeed, this happened overnight. Personally I don't really feel the need for these tabs but perhaps some do. How about adding one for "I strongly suspect you have an anagram program running in the background" .... since that seems to be an oft-expressed sentiment in these games! 
@middlechild7 I was pretty unhappy with this new format too, at first (several months ago). But, having played under it pretty often recently, I have come to like it a lot. It offers almost all the features we were used to in the old Lexulous, though they aren't always in the same "place." And there are some things they did not use to have: for instance, you can see a much larger number of your past games than used to be possible.
Here is the most relevant point: Going back to the old format is not possible, NOT because of any decision made by Lexulous itself. The old game was based on an old Internet technology (I think it was "Flash"?) that has now been phased out almost everywhere else. Most browsers no longer support it. So if they had not gone and rebuilt Lexulous from the ground up, there would be no Lexulous any more. Personally I am grateful they did, and I am quite impressed by the amount of work that went into what is, after all, a free game!
(as always, "your mileage may vary")...
@mistertoad I see nothing wrong with this, but on the other hand I don't see that it solves the problem, if the problem is "too many posts about travel and customs, and not enough about the game." No matter what the category is, if they keep posting this stuff it is going to be there in the "recent posts" list every day. From my perspective this makes no difference, because my usual mode of interaction with the forum is to look below the lobby and note the recent posts. Category doesn't seem to make a difference. I suppose maybe it does, for people who use the forum differently.
@mistertoad it would be astonishing to me if anyone assumed that "Move Strength" equated to "the best possible move after analyzing all possible permutations of the game ahead." Then again, perhaps some do.
@terrijay (and actually @betterlate1-0 and @Mistertoad and @ everyone) it would astonish me if Lexulous was able to institute any kind of reliable anti-cheating measures. Especially given their relatively limited resources. One factor is the wide variety of types of games and players (e-mail; snail's-pace live games; rapidfire timed games, etc.). Another is the fact that one player's "obvious cheat" is another's "how can you be so sure?". I have had people accuse me of certainty with playing at a rate that could not possibly be unaided. All I was doing was thinking up my move during the other player's turn, and typing my letters quickly when my turn came. Other players clobber me consistently because they take the game a lot more seriously and know huge numbers of obscure words (some people actually do play competitive scrabble in real-world tournaments). Good luck on getting any real curbs on cheating put in place!
@dan I had the same experience yesterday (Dan's, not terri's. I don't see chat from people on my Censor list.)
@mistertoad I'm sorry, I didn't realize you play by email. I only played at the v2 website until recently. Just a couple of weeks ago I added the app on my google device, in order to play a certain friend who prefers that way. I find that there is a Resign option, accessible via the Menu (three horizontal lines at the bottom of the screen while the game table is visible). Does this match with anything you see while playing?
@mistertoad there is the option to resign; you must have seen it. But many people fail to use it.
@dan thanks for the reminder; I had forgotten about the Esc key! And yes, another keyboard shortcut would be great.
@annyoakly I think the situation folks have in mind is a game where one player is so disgusted that they dump the game before it starts... if they do it before anybody makes a move, no one gets a loss.
@mapmakere yeah, the link doesn't work. But I am reminded that Earth is considered "mostly harmless" in the Hitchhikers Guide.
@pangloss yes, the Basque language is fascinating! I don't know a lot about it but maybe I could propose that we call it one of the "purest" rather than the "oldest" languages? In other words, it must certainly have evolved over the millennia, but without much influence from other languages. It doesn't seem likely that it would be unchanged from the time of Neanderthal humans. (AFAIK it's unproven whether Neanderthals had a spoken language...)
@waterman1 quite a coincidence indeed! I do see Djin played in here pretty often though, along with the variants Djinn, jin, jinn, jinni, etc. (and probably more). I suppose "genie" could be considered an offshoot...
@dan I just tried it. I don't have a middle button, but I used right-click and the Stats page opened, not in a new tab, but in a separate iteration of my browser. When I do it my way it's the same browser, different tab. I wonder if that makes a difference in terms of how long Lex will keep your original room login active.
