Yo have many suggestions. What is the priority list?

I like the new drop-down "GAMES" menu for games in progress. It makes navigation much easier.

Would it be difficult to do the same thing for the FORUMS menu at the top of the page?

Would it be possible to disable the 'new messages' icon from appearing when you have received messages that you have chosen to filter out? i.e. the icon appears every time i finish a game, even though the messages themselves aren't visible in my inbox. Thus I have to keep checking my messages to see if I've been sent any other, more important, messages and just to cancel the icon. Thanks.

As a frequent mobile user, playing via iPhone I must say that new solution for placing a link which brings me back to the list of active games is unfortunate.
On iPhone it does not work as good as on PC. I have to click twice and the link is tiny that is I miss it frequently, so there is a mess.
I preferred the previous solution of placing the link to active games almost everywhere.
Best regards,
R.

Instead we keep getting cosmetic changes. Only thing that could make me leave is boredom, and It is getting closer every day.

Add as a profile entry in addition to the online status indicator an option for players to indicate when they are usually online. Some of my regular opponents play at the same time every day. Knowing this, I try to make it a point to meet that schedule if i can, mostly because it allows us to play a game to completion. If I were able to compare active times for my games in progress , I could adjust my play accordingly. This would probably benefit players whose online access is very limited by whatever.

which means more ads on other sites

... Would be great too. I wrote about it to zooescape as they have it already in gameknot so implementation should not be difficult. But it seems eventually it is difficult.

@Skulls:

I like the cosmetic changes on the site.

I feel it is better to perfect what we have before bringing in new things. Having a regular backgammon site that works perfectly is a hundred times better than having a site with many backgammon variations that only work sub-optimally.

I am opposed to implementation of the new backgammon variations (as in the recent poll) when clearly, the demand is for tournaments and matches up to 'n' points for regular backgammon.

As long as the developers stay active, as they have been doing, I will remain a subscriber. Rome wasn't built in a day, and I do see the site getting better and better. Eventually, we will have all the things we asked for.
