"jump to your next playable game" Suggested Improv

I'm a long time app-designer and I always strive for ease of use and efficiency in my interfaces.

I think the "jump to your next playable game" link would be greatly improved by changing the link-text to something different if you have no more playable games to 'jump to'. (If it isnt your turn in any of your games) The link could become "return to My Games" or something... doesnt really matter what it says as long as its different.

This way if i just log in to make my moves (which is frequently all i do) I dont have to bother clicking the link and can instead just close my browser after i finish my final move.

i don't really see how this makes too much of a difference...it takes a fraction of a second to click the link and notice that you are on the My games page and are now done.

also, please use the form at the top of the S/B forum.

thanks!

I agree that would be nice, but it would take extra processing power to check the number of active games remaining, which is why I made the link dumb.

Maybe after a server upgrade...

Actually I like it the way it is. Because if I leave that page open and come back to it later, I can just hit refresh and it'll take me to my next playable game. :wink:

seriously why would you care that it takes half a second longer for it to go back to my games!
