In the thread
boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28095&start=80
, ā someone asked
"How to enter the game chat before joining a game? I cannot find a DISCUSS button."
, ā and on page 9, sourisdudesert replied with
"You do not have to click on Discuss anymore: the chat window
opens automatically on bottom right. One click saved :)"
.
However, this does not actually work:
I currently have an open invite to table #339717330 in the new lobby, and the
only chat window open is the ā General messages ā chat, rather than table chat.
I also tried typing anyway, and that did not bring up any other chat window.
This is just some one-time thing for me: ā I have twice before been trying
while specifically bearing in mind sourisdudesert's reply, and never seen
a table-chat window in the new lobby before accepting the invitation.
Furthermore, this is not just me: ā This issue has been mentioned
after sourisdudesert's reply on the same page as that reply
and
on page 14 of that thread ā (currently its last page)

Report history
I didn't see any simple way to upload to ā Imgur.com , ā but I uploaded screenshots to ā imgbb.com :
ibb.co/3zzp5bz and ibb.co/LJYdqyQ
The table number this time is 340416731. ā I tried F5, and that didn't change anything.
boardgamearena.com/table?table=xxxx&nr=true
Where you replace xxxx with the table number. If you click on the invite, you will see the table number in the URL for the game page. That takes you to the old interface and the discuss button is there.
This workaround doesn't take away from the fact that this should still be available to access in an easier way.
Add to this report
- Another table ID / move ID
- Did F5 solve the problem?
- Did the problem appear several times? Every time? Randomly?
- If you have a screenshot of this bug (good practice), you can use Imgur.com to upload it and copy/paste the link here.
