Clicking on the Edit button for a listed game on the "BOARD18 Main" page will link to the miscellaneous action page for that game.

The Left Panel

On the left panel of this page you will find a list of the Player IDs of all players known to this server. Hovering over an ID will cause that player's name to be displayed. This can be helpful in locating players with cryptic Player IDs.

The Right Panel

A sample of the right panel of this page is shown here.

At the top of the panel is a table that lists all of the players in the game.

The next line shows the current status of the game. This status can be either Active or Completed. You can change the status of a game to Completed to cause it to no longer appear on the Main page.
The keen observer will notice that this implies that this page can never be reached for a completed game. If you accidentally change the status of a game to Completed then you will have to use the view all games option to reactivate it. The main menu of a completed game contains an Activate Game option.

At the bottom of the panel is a form that can be used to modify the game.

Adding A Player To The Game

Clicking on a Player ID on the left panel will add that player to the Enter login of player to add to game field on the form. You can also manually enter a Player ID. Then select Submit to cause the add to take place.

Removing A Player From The Game

Clicking on a Player ID in the list of players in the game will add that player to the Enter login of player to remove from game field on the form. You can also manually enter a Player ID. Then select Submit to cause the removal to take place.

Changing The Status Of The Game

The Toggle Status button can be used to change the game status from Active to Completed. Clicking it again will change the status back to Active. You will have to select Submit to cause the status change to actually take place.

Maintaining Useful Links

The Maintain Links button will cause a Maintain Links window to open. An example of this window is shown below. The links created via this window will appear in the Useful Links sub-menu of the help sub-menus on the map and market pages.

Clicking on the name of an existing link will cause that link to be deleted.

Entering a name and URL and pressing the Add button will add the link to the menus.
