I like the new feature (and the site as a whole) a lot. Thanks!
Minor modification idea: Would it be possible to hyperlink the number in parentheses - e.g. the two in "Your games (2)" - directly to the first of your games that has moves needing to be run? That way, if you just want to play and don't care which game, you won't need to scroll down the list to find the game needing your move. I'm guessing you'd have to keep track of an extra variable, but if you're already polling the games, my guess is it shouldn't be too hard to add. |

I like the sound of Dobinator's suggestion. If the number was a link to the first gain waiting this would also save a hit on the Your Games page as players check which game it is.
Giving that the enhancement is so useful I don't want to be picky but if the above is to work there is a slight problem with the current link.
When you complete a move and the page returns ready for the next player. This game is included in the number outstanding. I guess this may be bacause the script checks the outstanding moves before the current move is committed to the database.
As I said I can live with this given the overall benefit of the facility. |

| Thank you for taking the time to add this useful feature. I noticed it today--I like the color-coding so it shows red when I have games with turns to do. This is a very neat feature and will save me time every day. |

I also think it is a good suggestion (linking the number to the first game to play), but because of the reason you mentioned (which I had also noticed), I'll need to dig a little deeper to get that implemented and working properly. |

| OK, solved the problem (the "menu bar" was previously created before your turn action was completed, and thus the Your Games link wasn't updated correctly), and in the process have implemented Dobinator's suggestion. |

Woo! That's great! Thanks. It will definitely cut down on "Your Games" clicks for me. |

I agree
this feature works very smooth
THANK YOU
now for the downside 
because it's human nature to take the easy path
WallySlow games will become even slower as people only get to those
games after all other games |

Much thanks!! I love being able to jump to the next game quickly on Yucata.de and Mabiweb, having something similar rocks. |

It looks like Milksheikh has randomised the link for the next game. This stops the Wallyslow problem and adds a bit of extra excitement not knowing which game is coming up next.
I have certainly cut down the page hits, I just played ten moves and only hit yourgames once. Thanks again |

it looks like it may be in order of the game waiting the longest for the next turn
I just took 19 turns and 17 of them were in time order starting with the game waiting the longest for a turn
my 4th and 5th games were a little out of order the balance of the games
were in the order of the games waiting the longest for the next turn
maybe Mikael could tell us what the settings are for turn order |
