It'd be neat if in the chat window, it showed when the player has left the game. It'd be good during the game so you know that you can stop thinking and just wait for the force resign... and after a game is done, it'd be nice so you know if they are still there and able to accept a rematch.
Just my 2c... great site btw, love the simplicity/clean-ness...
that small green circle next to the playername indicates just what you want.
Neat... ty, never noticed that before.
Perhaps the small green circle should be a bit larger (not much - a couple of pixels larger radius ) or a bit more saturated. Or red instead of grey to indicate disconnection.
(But some people are colorblind to red/green.)
Yeah it would be nice because I cant tell at all if I am playing on my phone. I think it would be good in the center of the board though.
Anyone else think the site might be completely hacked yet?
Ive been playing a lot of games recently where as time gets closer to running out for opponent lag increases more and more enabling them to gain more moves, similar to yahoo chess with chessbuddy. Ive also had a lot of people kill my best engines in sub 4 minute games which is rare but never happened on this site before.
That color thing is lagged as fuck.
Like, if you see someone rematch, it blinks for who offers the rematch.
And when a game finishes at the same time someone leaves, it just, like, disappears completely, until you refresh and see it's gray.
And if it turns gray, but you refresh, the player icon finally turns gray after you refresh to show that they're actually disconnected from the site entirely.
Those stupid little green men. I hate them all.
^ true dat, racist mother fker
LOL!
Dude, thibault used to admittedly have this worthless feature, that on the online Players page where it listed all the users online (including guests), it would enumerate the number of online players in both text (just giving you the damn decimal) and icon form (showing a shitload of little green men based on how many people are online). Eventually, the guy admitted it was just a worthless strain on the server, and took that off XD.
Besides, they're like Piccolo.
They're probably black, not green.
Erm...not that I have a problem with that :D
Not Amy, though.
Amy's race is, like, rainbow....
