Not an error - just trying to better manage the number of tables and listings that we're getting in the events this year. Last Trade Arcade we had some mobile users who were getting timeouts just trying to load the almost 400 tables on a single page. The experiment for this event is showing tables in the order they were created instead of random. That means the ISO match groupings need to be per page instead of Arcade-wide. I'll do some more work on the table back / next navigation to see if I can follow the unique sort-order for each trader instead of it feeling random.

Thank you for explaining the setup. 😊 I love the idea of listing the tables in the order they were created; that explains why the last page (so far) has always been full of tables I haven't yet visited. I didn't know people were timing out last time, so hopefully this helps. Most of my activity during trade arcades happens on my desktop (for the most part) so I have not experienced the time-out issue.
 
This new page setup is either going to save me a lot of time, because it is so frustrating to be constantly scrolling up and down to see the few pins on each page that are ISOs for me/them that I stop looking altogether, or waste a whole heck of a lot of time doing said scrolling. I fear it will be the latter and a lot of joy will be sucked out of this TA. It is extra annoying that I have to scroll past the sponsors on each page, and if I want to look at a total of like 10 tables, I have to do that a few times. I really hope this changes before the TA opens. It is not user-friendly in the current setup, at least not in this user’s opinion.

Perhaps if each category was on its own page series? It would be great to filter ISOs for me/them and only have those on my page series. That would be user friendly. Now I’m searching between sponsors and other categories on every page.

I'd prefer seeing everything categorized as it was previously. It's already getting confusing , especially as people update tables.
 
Yes. As people update tables they could move into a different group. So they might move into the “iso for you/iso for them” group on the first page, because their table has existed for a while, even though they are a “new” table to that category.
 
Yeah, this new setup is very painful. Scroll past sponsors and my own table to get to the mutual ISOs. See there is a new one and look at that. Then scroll back up to the top of the page to click to the next page. Scroll past sponsors and my own table to get to the mutual ISOs. Nothing new here. Scroll back up to the top of the page to click to the next page. Scroll past sponsors and my own table to get to the mutual ISOs. Oh look! There's a couple of new/updates. Check those out. Scroll back up to the top of the page to click to the next page. Scroll past sponsors and my own table to get to the mutual ISOs....

It is way less convenient and exponentially more time intensive than it had been. And will get worse as more tables come online. Please reconsider it. I know it's not ideal, but maybe in the short term have a separate page for folks who can't see the whole list that they can click to get to that has this setup but the default is the prior version?
