/bg N (where N is a number 0-8) to change the background

Actually, the background numbers go up to 10 now. (And I happen to like 10 the most.)

A card like Artificer, Hamlet, etc. is prompting me with a button to do an optional thing I don't want to. How do I not do the thing?
Just continue your turn!

I would suggest to add "by playing the next action card from your hand".

I know there's an argument to be made that this *is* free to play, but if my subscription has a monetary value (it does) and the product is not one that I would be paying for yet (I wouldn't), then it seems I'm being forced to pay for an unfinished product.

Which seems kinda lame to me.

How are you being forced to pay if you get this year for free without paying one Dollar? Seems kinda strange to me. If you don't like the gift you got, don't use it. Have some other fun and come back in a month or so to see if it then suits your requirements.

Oops, sorry, that's even better. :)

A mandatory setting selection for new accounts, choosing from "Beginner" (as it is now) and "Expert" (all cards familiar) might be useful.

There's one trick that might help a little: You can click on the Actions/Buys/Coins bar to make it disappear.
Unfortunately, this doesn't make the tiny cards bigger...

markus told me he had the same problem with Firefox on Windows 10. With Chrome, it didn't seem to happen.
(I use Firefox on Windows 10 as well and have never had this issue.)

Actually, the last turn of the bot is shown in the log usually. The log doesn't seem to be always completely scrolled down, however.

And if the game ends after the player's turn, the bot doesn't take another turn. The last turn of the bot is only not visible (as animations) if the bot buys the last province or 3-piles.

Or you can request Undo several times until you are at the situation before playing the Black Market.
(This is faster with bots but less convenient for human opponents.)

That's intentional to visualize that your opponent does a selection from cards you cannot see.

If you hover your mouse pointer over your player name, you can see the mat's contents on the right side (over the log). Clicking your player name keeps the mat area open (so you can scroll there if required) until something new is written into the log.

As the discard options on Hamlet are two separate effects, this is indeed a bug in the new client. DXV has confirmed that you can react separately: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=1004.msg15441#msg15441.

So for full compliance with the rules the client needs to do/have one of these:

• discard the first selected card first implicitly (still allowing to react with the second selected card), or
• an ordering box after [Both] (discard the left card first, still allowing to react with the right card), or
• separate steps for [Discard for +Action]/[No Discard for +Action] and then [Discard for +Buy]/[No Discard for +Buy].

With any variant, the direct click on a green-bordered action card could still be used for [No more Discard for this Tunnel].

With the current card set, the ordering box is only required if a Tunnel and the only Watchtower in hand are selected. Actually, to make it easier, the Tunnel could be always discarded first automatically, I guess, even if that would technically be stealing a decision from the player.

I actually like it. I don't need to read my answer again after posting it, and going up one level is the best guess i can imagine. Even if that behavior is really unusual. :)

This was funny. markus just was at two tables at the same time. He had joined my "new" table and clicked "Ready". I still had to remove Farmland from the card list, so I wrote this in the chat and proceeded to "Edit Table". In the meantime, a previous "Good Match" request from markus worked, so he was moved to another table. On my table, nothing suggested that he had left except him not being Ready anymore (but I assumed this was because of the new card selection). (I could not even start a game with Lord Rat by clicking "Ready", but that might have been caused by me refreshing in between, so I possibly wasn't host anymore.)
markus, however, could still see my chat messages but I couldn't see his. I then joined his table (#61175 on frankfurt) from the friend list and he showed me my previous chat messages.

Did you try to click on the stack of the 4-cost card? That stack should have shown a plus sign. (The wrong text in the log is a known issue.)
