@Ponderable saidYou can see what other player's are using, and adopt the same within 2 clicks if you like it.
Indeed. I am not sure what the function of that is.
I'm always curious what themes people are using myself too!
It was missing from the main player profile page, now added.
@Russ
The photo's and gifs are missing in Geoff's blog in the beta. I am not sure that this is intentional (I didn't find a relevant post on the first two pages).
@Ponderable saidJust ignore that for now, these will be fine when it hits production. All uploaded images are a potential problem, which is why you should not upload new profile images on the beta either.

@The-only-Mr-T saidWhen you receive a very long message then the chat area will scroll to the bottom. The cursor is placed in the text input right away without requiring another click so you can type without any further action. This is the cause of this.
On the beta site if I access a game with a message, I can't see all of the message it's only taking up a small portion of the bottom of the screen. It starts with the end of the message, so need to scroll up to see it from the start.
In most cases, this is desirable, but clearly not here in your case...I'll need to think of a work around for this mobile/long message situation.
For now, I have added an expand option (arrow/expand icon in the message header) to make the chat area grow. This should work around the issue, unless VERY long messages are sent, but does require one more select.

@very-rusty appears to occasionally experience an issue with promotion. I'm unable to reproduce the issue, so if anyone else has been able to promote (or not) in a regular game (excluding the solo/ai game) then please let me know. Thanks.

@Russ saidThe expand helps a bit but there's still a lot of the top of the screen not being used that could be the message as well. I play a few games with reasonable chat lengths, as do many I think. One of the best features of the main site imo.

@The-only-Mr-T saidI've not once had a problem,.but until I know what is going on , it's difficult to proceed with confidence. Thanks for letting know..

@The-only-Mr-T saidIt currently is set to 75% vertical space, and it is possible to quick close by tapping the top 25%. It could very easily be 100%, but really not needed on my mobile devices I've tested on.

Can you let me know your phone model (brand/model number) so I can simulate it is here to get a better idea of what you are experiencing?. Thanks.

Looks the same on chrome and duckduckgo.
Been meaning to get a new phone for months, 3 1/2 years and it's still going remarkably. Guess it could be the phone. Just seems there's a lot of empty space in the beta site that could be used. Even in the in-game chat there's about half a centimetres of dead space probably because the opponents profile picture in on the top right.
@The-only-Mr-T
Thanks. No issue with your phone.
The avatar/profile image does take up too much space, as you say.

Russ,
I sent you a game where I wasn't able to make a promotion in the Beta Testing. I will leave it until you have a chance to look at it. Keep in mind I am on the clock! 😉
I sent you the link, but here it is again.

@Russ saidAnother minor but slightly annoying thing is the pieces taken overlapping with each other on the smaller screen.
