Quite often when I log on the monitor will show 1 game waiting in the upper right hand corner but when I click it I end up in the "my games" page with no games waiting? Anybody else ever have this occur to them?

The "x games waiting" only changes when you refresh the page - I leave a RHP tab permanently open and it always says "0" when I arrive, because it's the page I got most recently from the server, and I only leave the site when I've played all available moves.

YES! Except mine comes on right after I move in a game where I've had several waiting and I'm on the last move. When I'm done all of a sudden it'll say "1 game waiting and "Go to next waiting game" will replace the "refresh" tab. When I hit it, it takes me back to my games page with no waiting games shown. when I pick another game to go to for study, it again says "Go to next waiting game?" But it's only another false alarm! It wouldn't be so bad except I'm using a laptop which the touchscreen is HORRIBLE on!!

Sometimes when that happens, either it's a false alarm or there was one game waiting because your opponent made a move then resigned the game while it was your move (this is legal by the way).
