Re: What time? Right now I'm playing at all different times because my schedule allows and I'm playing a lot because it's shiny and new to me.  :) 

I'm in the USA.

There have definitely been some instances where the game is mostly smooth, and (more often) other times where I get Connection msgs as I said on 3/4 of clicks. At this point I'm presuming it's time related as it doesn't seem to matter what I do here to my computer to try resolving. Lost Cities is definitely the biggest offender though so far. It can be barely functional and I'll change to LevelX and that one will work fine.

UPDT: Okay I just played back to back, first LevelX and received no Connection msgs.

Then I played Lost Cities and received Connection msgs on every draw pile click except 2. And the msg display showed either 1 msg quickly followed by a group of 6 msgs, or a group of 7 msgs together. Maybe once or twice only a group of 6 but mostly a total of 7.

Playing next game of Lost Cities now I'm getting 8 and 10 messages on each draw up until the last few with no msgs. But the animations are fine, no jerkiness.

Now 2 more games of LevelX, no msgs.

The notifications (such as alert for new chat message) had been displaying in the upper right. Now they are displaying in the upper left and overlaying the top of the games. You might be okay with that, but anyway fyi.

Hi,

It seems to me that the popup window opened with a very small width. I don't know why that is. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

I suppose making the window bigger solves the issue, does it?

It may seem very small compared to what you're expecting, however it's nearly 2/3 the browser width, 2/3 of my widescreen monitor, which seems large enough. The partner sites that drop have all been readable width-wise so far.

Yes I think it would reposition if I resized the window manually. Since I could still select the edge of the button I haven't bothered.

Here's another one I just received where the button was not obscured. I do notice the popup is slightly larger, for no reason I can discern.

Did you fix this already? My LevelX looks better.  :)

This popup for me always leaves the Back button dropped below the browser. I have to scroll down every time to press it. There appears to be sufficient room for a more convenient placement of the popup.

BTW, what is the width of your screen Jamie?

Amazon reminds me  :)  that this widescreen monitor is a 20" (19.5" Viewable) Display.

Connection issues and slow animations are totally different things. The first one depends on the quality of the Internet between you and our server. The second one depends on your browser and machine.
From the user perspective animations are related because while the Connection messages are dropping (over and over), I'm waiting for the card to fly across the screen. So my point there might have been muddied. I have had some instances where the animation itself has become jerky during the flying, but that's not as frequent. However it does mean that if I could stop the animation I would because it would decrease the overall level of disruption experienced during game play.

Regarding quality of the internet, all I can say is that I don't have any problem watching streaming video online. I would think your games aren't heavier than that but it's a guess based on no data. Maybe they are heavier.

Lost Cities definitely is more problematic for me than LevelX though. With LevelX I received a few messages, whereas with Lost Cities some games it's three quarters of the card selections and I resize my browser after many of my clicks to keep the game moving along. I don't know if that really helps, but visually it seems to.

I just selected to play LevelX in training mode and the wide ad space on the right shoved the left side of the game display a bit off the screen. It's not sizing properly.

UPDT: Now that I played part of a game, I see the actual game itself is set exactly on the left edge of the screen without a smidgen of daylight in there. I had to keep my head swiveled to the side while playing, which was uncomfortable, and the display as a whole appeared unbalanced. Very likely to play less if it were to stay this way.

I noticed tonight received the msgs also on LevelX...

Rankings, meeples and achievements / Re: Achievements
« on: 19/04/17, 06:29pm »
I understand the achievement badges stop at "10", then how come when you win more than 10 in a row, I still get awarded achievements and points for it but it does not show up in the record??  <snip>
Would it be a big deal to add another badge in our record which shows our highest achievement beyond 10?
Where are these badges displayed? When I get a "New achievement!" notification and click on it, I see the badge for that one achievement in the popup window, but I don't find my badges displayed anywhere else and/or in a grouping. Are they shown somewhere?

Click on the green die on the menu. Pick a game, then at the bottom is a button "Achievements

Thank you, I hadn't noticed that. However it doesn't seem to show the badges. On the "New achievement!" notification window we get a badge hanging on a little red or blue bar etc. I had the impression from the posts above that somewhere is a page that includes those badges (or I guess it would be the highest number badge earned for a game).

You're correct though that the Achievements page is the logical place so I guess it's not available.

Happy Meeple community / Site design
« on: 19/04/17, 12:45pm »
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the clean design of Happy Meeple. The background is easy on the eyes and doesn't distract from the content, both qualities all too rare on the internet. The whole color palette here is soothing. I like the use of round-edged boxes (like game cards!) to section the content and their spacing is comfortable. None of the fonts are hard to read or jarring. Particularly appreciate how The Daily Meeple is implemented, with the small summary box and opening to full page. The website overall has a warm feeling about it. Really well done.

Lost Cities / Re: Accidental Discards
« on: 19/04/17, 04:11am »
Thank you, I appreciate your reply, however I don't quite understand and hope you can explain a bit further.

There are 5 differently colored discard slots, A B C D E. Right now if I discard to, let's say slot B, I am then able to pick my new card from slots A C D E or the draw pile. I'm asking to be able to pick my new card from slots A B C D E or the draw pile. So, the request is for removal of the feature which locks slot B, rather than adding a new function. I hope this helps. I guess I think of the existing lock as more complexity: an added feature that didn't need to be there (and of course that's easy for me to say, not having done the programming lol).

It's possible that you lock slot B as a safety to prevent errant movement from accidentally repicking the card just placed, I don't know.

Again thank you for consideration and reply.

Yes I think that's it.  :)  I'm not asking that a person get an extra turn or extra card, just that they be allowed to pick up the card just discarded to complete their turn. Which they would be able to do on an actual tabletop but it seems to be blocked here.
