Hi folks,

The changes I can make to the site are very limited for several reasons, but something that was being problematic for players of Backgammon Match games was that the Roll and Double buttons were too close to one another (and there's no confirmation), making it really easy to accidentally double when you just wanted to roll. (And similarly for the Accept and Decline buttons when you're being offered a double.) For most users (who use the web games, not the Java games), that happened to be something I could do something about, so I've added a bit of space between them. Please let me know in this thread if you notice any problems because of the change.

FYI, the primary reason I can't make other changes to the site is that I don't have the time it takes. There's good news, though: One of the reasons for that is that Wendy and I are hard at work on the successor site to Pocket-Monkey, built with modern technologies. We'll let you know when it's in beta, likely sometime in the first half of next year.

Thanks,

-- T.J. :-)

Thank you so much for fixing this…it has been a real problem for me to double unintentionally on many occasions. Thanks again, Duke

Yeah. I'm just sorry it took me so long to figure out I could! (Within my current limitations.) :-)
