• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
Currently the list of open tables jumps around (continuously! This also makes it hard to click 'Join' accurately) according mostly - I presume - to how recently the game was set up.
If you join a game, that game can steadily float down to the bottom and it can be hard to check the status of games you have joined.
I have two suggestions:
* Make games you have joined (and are waiting on more players) float to the top (for you), so you can easily see the state of these pending games.
* More complex: allow you to set preferences in your profile that weight the ordering of games for you.
Eg. you could express mild or strong preference for certain games. More than just selecting your favourite games (which I find in practice isn't so much specifying my 'favourite' games, as determining the list of games I am presented with), this would be something you might regularly update as your interests change: "this is my current go-to game!"; or " I enjoy this, but have played a lot of it recently - might play it if there isn't anything else".
Another preference option could be preferences for number of players. I am not really interested in paying 2-plyr games most of the time, so I would prefer if they dropped down the listing for me, so I see 3,4,5+ plyr games more readily near the top of the list.
Finally, it would be handy to be able to set a 'recalculate' rate, so that if I ask for a slower rate, the games won't jump around quite so much (trying to click 'Join' etc accurately on shifting game entries is a game of dexterity in its own right! One I fear I'm not so good at...). -

There is also a 5-plyr game further down that I joined, but it has been pushed right down so I can't see what is happening with it...

Personally, I would prefer a drag'n'drop system to choose my own order. That would be one bug, that would fix anyone problem. BGA player just needs to reorder as they want.
