Thanks for letting me know, I do think the experience for finding and joining games needs to be improved, let's see what we can do

OK. User was able to find the game which DOES appear in the list - I just can't see it since I'm in it, I guess. :D

This may be solved for the user by having the user switch to "dropdown menu".

Nope that didn't work for that user. :|

Still not sure why the game isn't in the list but I may have set it to private.

New user can't join game / Game not appearing on new game lists

Hi, all. I'm new to the site myself but have played a few bot games. I've started a private game (game id 558220 ) with a passcode to share with potential players on a Discord I'm on. Two players have been able to join just fine but a third is having issues and does not see anywhere to join the game.

Of note the first two users didn't play any bot games first, so I do not think there are reliability rating issues. I am also unable to find a settings page for the game but as I'm new I'm not sure if that's a thing I am able to do once the game exists.

The full game URL is https://webdiplomacy.net/beta/?gameID=558220#gamePanel

The game ALSO does not appear on any "new game" lists which seems odd as well.

Thanks!
