Pocket-Monkey's new game notifications are here! And they've been enabled, so we're back to being fully-functional again.
The new notifications are quite different from the old ones and should result in less overall email going out to you, but the messages themselves being more useful! Read all about them in the FAQ (Help | Frequently Asked Questions -- but here's a shortcut: http://www.pocket-monkey.com/help-faq.jsp#notifications).
In particular, note that we no longer send you an email for each game where it becomes your turn. Instead, we send you summaries periodically (you decide how often) of how many games it's your turn in, whether any of them are going to time out soon, and other things that have happened while you were gone (such as people sending you game invites and such).
This is the first version of our new notifications, and we'll be tweaking it and such as time goes by -- please feel free to contact us with your suggestions via the Contact Us link!
No, I'm afraid not. Word games like Scrabble are very much on our list. It'll probably be some time before we have them, though, because there's a fair bit of work involved. (We have a few non-word games we want to do first, too.)
But we will have them! Including at least a variant or two you won't find anywhere else...we've been setting our little minds at work, you see.
Hey T.J. How about a Match option on the HyperGammon game? I love the game but it's over so fast. It would be great to be able to play like a 9 or 21 game match. DeeDeeDina
Geez, people are hijacking my thread about the new game notifications to talk about other game sites. I must not be living clean enough. ;-)
Just a quick note: If you want to post something in a completely new topic (discussion "thread"), the way you do that is: Go to the forum section the post should be in, and then click the [Create New Thread] link in the upper right-hand corner. Ideally it's best to keep posts within a thread relevant to the topic that started it. It's no big deal, it's just been happening a bit lately, and since it happened here I thought I'd mention it...
what about a game called ludo.....do we see that in the future?
