BoardGameArena Extension Extension

This extension is no longer maintained as the project has been merged with this one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bga-chrome-extension/kchnhmpeopknjdjejognciimepllkacb


-------------------------------------

This extension adds the following features to the BoardGameArena:

1) A vertical menu on the left edge of the screen to easily navigate between the players' boards.
This feature is available for 100 games so far. Don't hesitate to ask me if you want a game to be added!

2) An option to enable/disable messages about your friends' activity in the game log.
These messages are disabled by default in the extension.

3) An option to display the game log and the player panels in a floating menu on the right. This saves space for the game itself if your screen is too small.
This option is disabled by default in the extension.

4) A button for 'deleting' a game. This button appears next to the button for starting the game in the list of games.
Deleted games no longer appear in the list of games or in the lobby.
You can cancel the deletion of a game from the extension options screen.

5) An icon to hide/display the global chat, in the top right corner of the screen.
