Make "My Games" flash when games playable

All the updates similar to this brought in just recently were really helpful, great improvements. (Time remaining/jump to next availiable game etc.)

Just wondering if they could be pushed that tiny bit further and, when you have a game that is playable, i.e. where it's your turn, that the My Games box in the left panel of all searching screens could flash?

If so, i think a yellow backgrround, with a tint of orange - similar to the forum "new post" color - would be approopriate.
In fact, it probably wouldn't even need to flash, merely to be highlighted.

The benefit of the change would mean that, once you've taken all your turns, then proceded to browse the forums (as we do), you wouldn't need to check back to mygames so much and could have just one cc window open. The intention been, that whether it is flashing or not gets updated with every click/refresh throughout your browsing the site.

Any thoughts?

[EDIT]: Sorry if this is classed as a repeat, just found it on the Pending list on a second glance, if this is so, and you can delete this thread, then i've no objections.
Though it was a suggestion from July 2006.

Wouldn't it be even better if the site automatically refreshed, like the NFL and baseball sites do when you are "watching" a game? I would especially like that in a particular game, so that I don't have to keep clicking refresh map to see someone else take their turn. I don't understand computers that well, but it seems easy enough to make it refresh after each "Player attacks country from other country and conquers it." Right?

Would anyone else like that?

If this is implemented it should be an option in preferences, it would just annoy me.

super mario 64 was the first console game i ever owned, it rocks! i bought it on the wii marketplace and got all 120 stars in 2 days XD

now i gotta say something so this isnt off topic

i dont wanna get a seizure from the flashes! (lol best response i could think of, but i like the idea. maybe it will even annoy those who skip turns as a strategy into taking their turns!)

I have one that refreshes after each of my moves, but I'm looking for one to refresh after each of the other players moves. Is there one for that? If so, give me a link please!
