# 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](/guides/your-yards-games/).

## 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](/guides/make-a-yard/).
