Only been playing for two days, but here goes.

For Word Game: Show the score next to each player's name. Show the tiles that were replaced after each turn as well, highlighted in BOLD black or something.

In the MyGames list, show the game type in the list.

Why do you need game type in game list ? You have name of tournament - it contains game type.

First off, it doesn't hurt anything to add the game type. it's not like I'm asking for someone's firstborn.

Second, it DOES show in tournament names -- as a cryptic code. Not user friendly.

Finally, it does NOT show in regular games.

You could put the name of the game ont he place of the tournament name, for non tourney games, That is the only change needed for his problem. Still you could try to reconsider the game list to enhance it. It is already good, but you could make it better... put the 'hours left for you' also if it is not your turn. Make it possible to order them differently (for instance on tournament name), then you can group those games if you want. Show the vacation days left for the opponent, and so on. I guess a lot of people might have some request... you could announce a game list enhancement some weeks on forehand, and ask for suggestions.

THANK YOU!!! Game name in the list looks wonderful.

Now, on Tourney games, if you just add the Game Name like non tourney games, and then the tournament in () it would be perfect.

WTG!

That might be easy enough... just change the code (for instance go9.rt.7.4) for more text like "Go 9x9, rated tournament rank 7 nr 4", or something alike.

Then how about GO 9x9 (T) where the T means TOURNAMENT and you click the T to go to the Tourney info screen.

No way, you lose info this way, it is nice to see the actual tournament on the screen, and the codes are nice enough to deduce the game from it.

I like the way it is now also - maybe if a FAQ is made, a description on what them mean will help new users understand them more! :-)

I doubt many people actually look at that information -- a few do, like yourself. But anyway...

If this is the case, instead of the easy way of a (T) in parentheses, put (r7n4) No need to put too much info there that no one really uses.

I agree with Hjallti! Leave it all there. I want that info. And what is so hard to understand about go9, go13, go19, chess, rev, amzn and gwg. To me (at least) it's very clear what game it's all about. And all that is after is just info on what game it is. If he did it Your way it would still take much more space. Space that could be used to something more interesting (like vacation left for opponent (could be placed in brackets after time like: 240[20])).

I guess I'd just rather see the site be user friendly so that more people will come and use it. Just just a few hardcore "If I understand it, it must be simple" types.

So, You say Go 9x9 is much easier to understand then go9? It might be, but that I've never had a problem with. But the numbers after I didn't understand at first. But now that I do, I wouldn't wanna be without them! And I think it's in the simplest of forms, and yet revealing enough!

I agree that the site has to be userfriendly and that it could be improved. But leaving out information on which tournament it is, is making it less user friendly anyway, since the codes are pretty clear (at least the first part indicating the kind of game).
