Beta testing new ad policy?
Can someone explain the new policy on ads? Now every time I leave a room, I have to wait 15 seconds and see a new ad. Meanwhile, to others, it looks like I am in the lobby, so people challenge me or try and message me, and I don't even find out until 15 seconds later - so people think I'm being rude by not answering. Is this a beta test or a permanent change?
sadly, its permanent i guess :(
it does have a skip add selection.
...which still makes you watch the first 10 seconds out of the 15.
I hope you also realized that there are no more ads shown while a match is in progress, so it does not interfere with your game.

OP
The ads that take over the whole screen may be gone but ads still 
DO
 load in the middle of shots.  I guess loading ads in between ends or on the opponents shot is not possible ?

You shouldn't see any ad while you are playing a game.
If you do, your system might be compromised.
actually, you can skip the ad after just 5 seconds.
Can't you make it so your name doesn't reappear in the Lobby until you can actually respond to challenges? I've had people challenge me while I am in ad mode, and then think i am rude for not responding.
BRB clock will be displayed in the lobby now while an ad is being shown to you.
Thank you - that makes much more sense.
Now only problem is the BRB clock stays on next to name even after you're back!
You need to take some kind of action in the lobby in order to remove it, simply clicking on the brb button, or a player's name will do it.
