I still think that the best site idea is a "your move" alert, either by a flashing symbol or sound or SOMETHING, instead of having to 'refresh this board' each time.

NOT true - I am using firefox. When I catch up on all my games & surf the web I need to go back and refresh RHP to see if games waiting. On other sites you get a pop up box telling you a game needs your move.

It's grey until you have a move waiting. [when it then turns red]
There's another one too that tells you how many games are waiting. I forget where I got that one - I'll see if I can remember. 🙂
