I created a game and no one seems to be able to join through the link.

Booted up a game, some various complaints (all on desktop, idc about mobile):
1. It's hard to tell both what game you are looking at and what country you are
2. The chat window is entirely too small and cannot be resized
3. Chat messages don't show the day next to them, just the time (which I think is the same as the old map, but we can do better)
4. Player names don't show up next to the country for non-anon games

Sorry if this already got reported. It might not be related to the new default UI but it started happening when it got implemented. When the game fills up, if theres anyone with the point and click UI enabled, it takes the whole set time that you put to fill the game. And since the default is 7 days, it takes 7 days for a full game to start.

Is there a way to get back to the old map ?

Hi everybody,

Is there a way to get back to the old map (at least being able to switch between the 2 of them) ? I find it very difficult to follow all kind of moves on the new map and get a clear overview of what is going on.
Am I the only one to feel that way ?

Thanks

Not sure if it has to do with this, but there is a bug: in a Modern game I’m playing, I have two builds and sufficient open SCs, yet it doesn’t allow me to build anywhere (essentially showing the ‘red’ drop down, similar to having a dislodged unit without a valid retreat).

It is an old dropdown menu problem, but on mobile firefox browser i cannot choose any center to build on the World map. Like there is nowhere to retreat wit a unit.

I'm pretty confident this was just because people had a cached version of the old code which wasn't refreshing. It looks like everyone's orders are working when I log in.

If it's still not working for you can you let me know your browser and whether you're using point and click or dropdown?

Not OP but when I post a link like so: "https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=565481" People whose point and click is set to default just get put into a "pre-game" screen without any UI to actually join the game they've been directed to

Hey Kestas,

Small feature request for the new UI. Cold you add hyperlinks between the player names and their WebDip profiles once the usernames are shown (either during for non-anon or post for anon)? I think that existed in the old UI.

Will do Yonni: A join UI within the board, ability to chat after the game has finished, sandbox build phase support, suspicion / mod request link, and links to user profiles. I think that's all the outstanding requests for the new UI
