Also new: a yard's week instead of a leaderboard, and Show me as here

Smaller changes from the last two days — a yard's games page shows what the yard did together and ranks nobody, you can hide that you're here, yard names are shorter, and your own posts nag you less.

A few smaller things that went live over the last two days.

A yard’s week, not a leaderboard

Inside a yard, GAMES no longer ranks the yard’s members by name. Where Leaderboard was, This week. now says what the yard did together, like 12 people took part · 140 things done. Under it, only you see your own week: how many things you did and the points they earned. Switch between THIS WEEK and LAST WEEK as before. Game winners still get their own boards. See Your yard’s games and ladder.

Show me as here

Rather not be seen? Tap YOU, then the gear for Settings. Under Privacy and safety, turn off Show me as here. Then nobody sees that you’re in a yard or when you were last on. You won’t see when others were last on either.

Your pace

Also in Settings, under Your pace:

  • Streak reminders — turn off the streak prompts on HOME and your profile on this phone. Your points and streak record stay.
  • Games you didn’t play — turn off the HOME recaps of games where you held a seat but didn’t play.

Your own posts nag you less

  • A post of yours that nobody has answered yet no longer says No votes yet or No reactions yet.
  • A poll or ask of yours that is still open is mentioned once, for a while, as Your poll is still open, with SEND IT to share it with one person. After two days it is let be.

Yard names are shorter

A new yard’s name, or a sub yard’s, can be up to 20 characters. See Make a yard.
