Can I get rid of Notices on the Home-Tab?

My list of Notices is getting longer and longer. Is there an option to delete the oldest ones?

0.9 thread too full, or at least for me

The original 0.9 thread cuts off mid way through a post.

My question is: Kestas, are we no longer able to review the textual version of orders from completed turns? Not only to check for an occasional possible error but to see exactly what our opponents, and allies, have done?

Feature removed?

One of the things I really liked about the last version were the little tabs across the top of every page that showed every game you either had new messages in, or hadn't finalized orders in. I'm not seeing that anywhere in 0.90 except as a list on the home page. Are there any plans to bring it back? It's the one thing I find I'm missing about the new version so far. The ability to toggle through all my active games without having to skip back to the games or home page was wonderful.

Unpause to Pause do we know the time left

I seem to recall that some games were paused with only a few hours left and then when they were unpaused there was short deadline. Is the new version different and do we know how much time is left if unpaused?

Does the set of games you have new messages or unfinalized moves in not appear at the top any more?

If that is the case: Damn it.

it's a feature many people want to get back. i think it will return, based on what folks are saying in the 0.9 thread.

It's not as convenient because you can't go game to game, and it's not immediately apparent that the game requires orders.

I agree with chris and pandarsenic.

But the new diplomacy is kind of slow, isn't it?

Ursa (1617 )
23 Jul 09 UTC

I missed it too. The greatest pro was you could move from one game to another in one step. Now you'll have to go to the 'games'-button or the home page.

Well, I don't want to argue about it, just whine a bit. Overall the new site looks great, and if one of you guys doesn't agree you can send me a PM!

I think you lot are probably right about keeping the panel there, even if it does duplicate the functionality of the Game Boxes on the homepage.

You should be able to work around it via tabbed browsing etc.

Captain Dave (113 )

Yeah, but it was sooo convenient to be able to switch games within just the one tab. I'd have to vote to bring it back - although this isn't a democracy, so I can't!

In fact, this was the first thing I noticed about the new version: the panel was missing. It was really, really, really convenient and made a comfortable navigation through several games possible. The best thing, of course, was, that you noticed if you've got something to do with a single view onto the top of the page.
Besides, I also noticed that the new version is slower (probably because of a higher amount of data and especially pictures), which makes that feature even more convenient.

Onar (131 )

I miss the panel, too.

Alderian (2425 )

It is also handy when browsing the forum waiting for a reply. Now you have to have the home page open in another tab and refresh it every few minutes. Which frankly isn't that terrible. All in all I'm happy with the changes. It would be nice to have this part back though. In the meantime, game crashes and other bugs are probably higher priority so we should just be patient.

Thanks Kestas!
