Vying Games : Blog

I just pushed out a minor update to the server. This is mostly bug fixes, and a couple small user interface changes. Mostly things you're not apt to notice. There is one change, though, that I wanted to draw attention to.

If you leave one of your games open while waiting for your opponent to move, the document title will be updated when it's your turn. In most tabbed browsers the title appears in the tab, and will be prefixed with an asterisk (*) when it's your turn to move. The turn indicator comes on when it's your turn to move in any of your games, not just the one you left open.

This way you can browse away in another tab, and you only need to look at the Vying Games tab to know if it's your turn.

A few notes:

1. The title is only updated when you're viewing a game, because those are the only pages that update automatically.

2. If you leave for an extended period of time the server marks your status as "offline". You won't get any updates while "offline".
