• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
I used the new lobby to start a turn-based table, restricted to a specific group. When you start your table, the new lobby appears to search through the existing open tables for one that matches your preferences (options/speed)? If it finds one, it adds you to that table, rather than starting your own tables, ignoring your group restriction.

Report history
Here's the link to the table I was added into (sorry but I didn't save the link to the original table I had made):
boardgamearena.com/3/carcassonne?table=327606410
Luckily this time I've retained the links for both the old table (the one I made, with the group restriction) and the new table (the one into which I was added involuntarily):
Old - boardgamearena.com/table?table=327402530
New - boardgamearena.com/6/fleet?table=327656929
Old - boardgamearena.com/table?table=327084504
New - boardgamearena.com/6/marcopolotwo?table=327676246
I have found a work around by altering the table URL to /table?table=[id]&nr=true, and setting up the boards from there, but it's unclear how long that interface will exist for.
Old table with group restriction: boardgamearena.com/table?table=330566980&nr=true
New table that I was added to: boardgamearena.com/3/wingspan?table=330607481
Please fix this. Creating games to play with friends is the only reason I pay for premium here.
I am a premium subscriber and this is very annoying as I do not want to play with strangers outside my groups
boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=nimalia&table=493611951
boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=nimalia&table=493688649
Also when I do get added to games, that I did not agree to join, I go to cancel/leave and it also kicks me out of the game that I originally started.
