@zpatsfan1265 Thanks for letting us know about this, to check the table your friend was in when trying to join, was it one they were hosting or one they found?

It worked both ways. I was in a room, and asked my friend to join me. She couldn't see me, so I told her to find a room. The same thing happened. We were trying to join each other in Spades at the time.

In both instances, we were not directed to the same room, and followed the instructions in the blog perfectly.

We kept being brought to the room that asked if you wanted to play with bots, humans, join a game, host a game etc.

I also tried to join another friend and the same thing happened.

It seems that we aren't being directed to a friends room as stated in the blog post.

@zpatsfan1265 Can you check out our HTML5 guide then sign back in and confirm if this is still happening?

  I tried using Chrome and Safari. I have a MAC Book Pro, with 16 GB memory. I routinely clean the cache, although MAC's don't need it as much as PC's.
  I have attached screenshots of what I do, and what happens.
  When I try to "join game".. I get the list join game, host game etc. Prior to getting the incorrect screen, a brief message comes on "connecting to server". Never connects.
  Thank you.
