2020年Oct25日 10:05 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

2020年Nov17日 18:56 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

This behaviour has just caused me again to lose something I was typing. I cannot see any reason why the site should behave in this way, and when it causes you to lose something you were typing, it is really infuriating.

2020年Nov18日 13:12 • KongKing123 • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

Agreed, it's incredibly annoying. I used to do some quick translations while waiting for a game, but I've stopped doing that because of this behaviour.

There must be a less intrusive way of signalling that a game is ready.

2021年Mar13日 12:55 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

AAARGH this is INFURIATING. Yet again I have lost something I was typing, in this case another bug report which I was carefully compiling. What is the point in this destructive tab-hijacking?

2021年May2日 15:08 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

And again, lost a forum post that I was typing. This is infuriating and completely pointless. If I open a new tab, I do not expect other tabs to interfere with it. I find that seriously intrusive and objectionable. Why is the site doing this?

2021年Sep26日 19:55 • blockmonoid • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

I find this extremely annoying as well. I have multiple tabs open for the site, including tournament pages, chats, etc. When I'm waiting for an Arena game, I'm usually looking at another tab. When the Arena game finds an opponent, ALL my tabs switch to the arena game. This is sometimes 20+ switch. Then I have to go through each one and click on the back tab. Super annoying.

2021年Oct16日 13:14 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

Another forum post lost. Very nearly a full year since I posted this bug report. No response or explanation of any kind from the developers for this intrusive and disruptive site behaviour really rankles, I must say.

2021年Nov18日 18:44 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

Once again, a forum post lost due to this obnoxious tab-hijacking behaviour. Still no explanation or justification of it. If someone from BGA had taken the time to outline any kind of rationale for this it would have been nice.

2021年Nov19日 19:57 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

And another forum post lost. No explanation for this obnoxious, destructive behaviour; no hint that anybody has even so much as looked at this report. It seems to me it was pointless making it.

2021年Dec9日 12:56 • nccc • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

u have to wait, that's it.
Mutual friend was added back, but it took years.

2021年Dec9日 12:58 • nccc • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

Plz, have more patience.
There are only 20 thumb ups, apparently NOT many enough for the dev to see it.
U need at least like 100 thumbs up.

2021年Dec10日 03:12 • nopeasaurus • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

On the other side of this issue are the people who wait for a real-time Arena game to start, then get stalled on the first move because one of the players is in another tab writing a forum post and not paying attention. Failed real-time games are going to increase if this suggestion is implemented.
A medium suggestion: maybe there should be a flashing banner in the other windows when a real-time game starts?

2022年Jan25日 00:46 • DracoMagister • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

This is really annoying and I really hope it changes in the future.

2022年Feb6日 10:25 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

And once again, I've lost a forum post I was writing because of this stunningly obnoxious tab-hijacking.

2022年Jun5日 20:19 • maifosz • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

This is annoying and intrusive behaviour and I can't think of any other website doing anything like this.

2022年Dec27日 21:33 • KongKing123 • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

Bump.

2023年Mar6日 20:05 • blockmonoid • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

I just lost a game of CuBirds boardgamearena.com/table?table=353947851 because when I joined the table, BGA decided to hijack 20+ tabs simultaneously to load the game. This completely froze my browser, because each of those tabs now had to produce the game sounds and graphics. I tried to click the back button on all those tabs to return them to the previous pages, so that I'd only have one tab with the active game. But they all froze and I lost on time, because it took more than 3 minutes to resolve.

This tab hijacking is REALLY annoying. I keep tabs open: tournaments I'm following, games I want to replay, some stats pages, etc. So many times, I find many of them hijacked when a new game starts. This is unacceptable. Please FIX this.

2023年Mar24日 23:58 • Blacktango • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

If you have more than one tab waiting for the game to start, you must stay in the tab that you really want to play in.
That way, you won't lose what you've written in your other tab, and you'll be able to continue writing without loss when the game starts.

2023年Jul9日 06:31 • Vynce • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

Blacktango: that doesn't always work. i have had a new game steal 3 different open tabs.

2023年Sep14日 14:10 • bananasplay • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

"This is annoying and intrusive behaviour and I can't think of any other website doing anything like this."

The underlying attitude among BGA admin seems to be "we know better than our users about how they should go about searching for games and playing games, or even how they should use their own browsers".

Just look at the horrible new game listing, or the needless restrictions on no-time-limit turn-based games that can no longer be played as ranked games, or how the results of Arena games puts an overlay over the entire page that often won't go away, even if one clicks the dismissal button, thus requiring a full page refresh to make go away ( boardgamearena.com/bug?id=14407 ).

2024年Feb18日 10:47 • KongKing123 • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

Bump to avoid automatic closure.

2024年Apr21日 18:46 • matagouri • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

this, please!

2025年May28日 05:16 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

Still happening. Still unbelievably intrusive, inconvenient, and destructive. Still zero response of any kind from any developers.

2025年Jul9日 21:44 • stoiclewischesterton • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

For this to work, the apps should know that there are several tabs open. I don't think it is feasible. Or there should be several tabs open by BGA itself ?

2025年Aug6日 00:02 • ribidilus • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

stoiclewischesterton - it is feasible to detect, that the player is actively using a tab with BGA website in it. It would be easy to just intrude that tab and the tab related to the game starting and not all.

Another solution would be a special adress, where the game starting intrusion will end up (like the special page boardgamearena.com/play which is automatically leading you to the next turn based table )

2025年Sep22日 22:00 • Blacktango • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

It could open a popin in the tab you are on, with a button to go to the game in a new tab.

2025年Oct27日 21:48 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

It is five years since I filed this report. The developers apparently still believe that they know better than I do what page I want to be viewing, and feel fully entitled to destroy whatever I was doing to make me view what they want me to view. Clearly, they are never going to bother to explain why they feel this way, nor change this utterly obnoxious tab-hijacking.

2025年Dec30日 11:44 • wrldtrvllr • 此建議尚未被開發者分析過:

Once again I have lost a forum post I was writing because of this outrageous behaviour. You do not know better than me what page I want to be looking at. Stop destroying whatever else I am doing on your site when a game starts.
