    I would like to see us get a tone of some sort when we are invited to a game rather than sitting watching the screen waiting for the invite. A simple tone or ring a bell or something that tells us we have an invite. Also, when we are invited there is a white flash across the top of the screen. if I click on it I can tell the inviter I am busy or something but, it needs to stay on longer in case I'm in the middle of a shot and can't get to it before it disappears. Not answering when invited is rude IMO and I hate to leave someone hanging waiting for me to answer. Thanks for any consideration

    Cheers

    I didn't know they stopped the invite chime or whatever . I don't have sound on my computer .

    Even if I did . The only time I would hear it is while playing a match already in Coins . I couldn't accept it anyway .

    All throughout the 14 year Flash era . The notification system was a failure .

    There always needed to be better longer pop ups . For audio a better more distinctive sound .

    I do not know if during all MP ( multi player ) rounds . Stroke and Alt . If invites are still turned off default red busy .

    I know invites are turned on in Unlimited Stroke Play and Coins .

    MP INVITES ALT SHOT , STROKE , COIN

    No one knows or thinks you are being rude if an invite is not answered .

    They are too fast for me to respond to anyway .

    You say you could respond and not disrupt your current game ? If you could click fast enough ? Is that an MP round ?

    I still have yet to be able to try that .

    I have done it in Unlimited Play . Solo . But not since PCEA started

    I just found this :

    ScottHope:

    Click on either of the invite notifications to bring up the next screen where you can decline or accept the invite.

    If you are already in a game you will get the same invite appearing at the top left of the screen, but nothing at the bottom, click the invite to accept or decline it. After the invite has disappeared, if you click the escape key to bring up the left pane menu, or click the 3 dots in the top left of the game window, you will see an invite button which remains there for 2 minutes from when the invite initially appeared...

    ...click it to accept or decline the invite.

    What get from this is there are 3 notifications .

    1) Uppoer left corner of screen . 5-7 stconds . Too quick to click .

    2) Bottom of game client screen.For 2 minutes . Just as useless as the flash green icon . Never going have the game client window main acreen open for longer than it takes to click GAME MODES , or PLAY NOW , or my avater icon , or EXIT .

    3) Left Pane Menu . INVITATIONs prompt . This is XLNT . Didn't know about this . Now I may be able to respond in some sort of way . Or even accept .

    Thank you Scott . This has been very helpful .
