I hadn’t thought of this, and at first thought “weird idea”, but actually I too have forgotten to press submit, and I can see how this would help. Clicking on the board is not placing a stone, for submit move button mode!

I rarely play on my pc with the sound on but you’ve made me realise that when I do this happens to me every time and you’ve nailed the solution with this!

proposal: for double click and submit botton modes, the first click places an X on the intersection with no sound… and confirmation places the stone with the sound… thoughts?

X or an empty circle with a + in it, would be better, if it’s not too much of a trouble.

This would be great.

Agreed, I wen’t back and forth on this, but yeah I just updated them to make more sense and it’s better.
Interesting, I’ll try and fix these.
These are great suggestions, I’ll implement both.

Also I added a short vibrate effect on mobile devices when a stone is placed, let me know what y’all think. You can turn it off in settings of course.

If a setting is annoying, it’s easy enough to go turn it off… but if a setting is off by default, nobody is going to go look for it… there are many features on our site that a lot of people don’t know exist simply because they’re not on by default.
Reminds me of the attitude of websites that used to auto-play music when you open them up. 
If you can’t imagine how else to make a user aware of a feature… 
Awesome job! It’s customization like this that is going to put OGS above the rest I feel.

Yeah the counting up I felt wasn’t “right” yet, or at least quite horrible… but it was an odd concept for me anyways so I wasn’t sure what the expectation actually was I suppose. Yours sounds better.

It should be like this shouldn’t it?

40 seconds, no time left;

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.”

Yep, I think that’s pretty much what @S_Alexander described. I don’t think I want to deal with the followup “no time left” / “6 minutes left” (or “6 periods left”) unless it turns out folks really want that, but I think that’d be a bit too much chatter for an online game. The way it counts up though, I’ll make it match.

If i make it count up starting from 60 seconds but use byo-yomis over 1 minute, the countdown goes down instead up.
If i try to use old amy voice for counting to 60, it hops to claire after “ten.” Guess there isnt amyvoices from 11 onward?

Now the sound effect for placing a stone is played even when the volume is set to 0 on the right panel.

I’ve just played with the sound for the first time on my desktop and they are incredibly nice! It’s such an improvement I just had to pop over to the forums to clog them up a bit with my disproportionate gratitude!

With the updated code? I added code so it specifically should no longer play when the volume is 0 
Anything interesting in the console by chance?

I just tried testing this out on beta server and I think it broke double click to move… For me they both function as submit move button. (single click works correctly)
Again, it only happens when the volume is set to 0 when the page is loaded:
