Web on iPad Interface Suggestion / Question

So I play almost exclusively on the iPad in the Safari browser.

My one problem is the game log.

It’s fine in early stages of a game, because the amount that auto loads is enough to see the activity from the last few turns.

Later in the game, especially on big maps with lots of different bonus’s. You can only scroll back a bit, not even one whole turn, only the. turns of the last 2-3 players maybe not even that.

You can always hit the ‘load entire log’ button... but then this by default dumps you at the beginning.

This is problematic because on the iPad to scroll back and see the more recent activity it takes awhile, there’s no scroll bar.

My suggestion would be to setup the interface so that when you hit the ‘load entire log’ button it starts at the more recent activity and not at the beginning of the game.

Is the possible?

Is there some other interface (an App) that makes this easier?

Thanks for your help.

Yes it has been always like that and I tried using the Chrome app and playing CC using it and log appears also from the latest rounds.

Thanks for the reply.

So I accidentally figured out the solution.

The order matters.

If you Load Game Log, then Start Game
- The log will first go back to beginning with the “Load Game Log”...
- Then the log moves to most recent activity when you hit “Start Game”

If you Start Game, then Load Game Log
- The log comes up with most recent activity when you “Start Game”
- Then when you “Load Game Log” is resets to beginning.

So the key is to Load the Log FIRST.

Not sure I understand the "Start game" thing, why would you load a game log before starting a game? (Obviously the game log wouldn't show anything but the launching time stamp), or did you meant "Start the turn"?

Yes... Start Turn

It works for me if I Load Log then Start Turn... but not vice versa.
