Sorting of your games in urgency of play??

[Greystoke]

May be a stupid question but can you sort your own games in progress showing games which have the shortest play time left??
Therefore when you log on briefly you can play urgent games with the clock ticking down fast oppossed to games you have 5+ days to play with no urgency???

As of right now, I know of no way to sort your games on any criteria.

Or, a shorter answer -- No.

That would be a great feature.

Another great feature would be to show which games you need to make a move on when looking at a list in your "games in progress" screen. Chess.com has this feature and I really like it.

While not obvious, this is available. On the "games in progress" screen, an hourglass will replace the normal avatar of the person whose turn it is (or all players who need to make a move for simultaneous play). Rotating hourglasses replace your avatar if it is your turn.

Yes, it would be nice if these were moved to the front, or a different color, but the information is there.

This is a picture of what I see when I look at my games in progress screen. In one game it is my move and in the other it is not and they look exactly the same...

Strange... Because here's mine

Hmm...I tried changing browsers/computers and it still isn't showing up like it does in your screenshot. I am glad it is a feature even if I can't use it though

The hourglass-feature doesn't work with all browsers (chrome works, firefox and konqueror don't, more I didn't check). It looks like the CSS content property isn't used as specified (no :before/after pseudo element is used).
For the savvy ones here are the relevant lines from mainsite.css:

Code: Select all

.tableplace_activeplayer img {content: url( '../img/layout/active_player_static.png');}
.tableplace_activeplayer_current img {content: url( '../img/layout/active_player.gif');}
.tableplace_activeplayer_clockalert img {content: url( '../img/layout/active_player_clockalert_static.png');}
.tableplace_activeplayer_clockalert_current img {content: url( '../img/layout/active_player_clockalert.gif');}

It might be a simple fix, but I haven't verified.

PS:
It looks like changing the img isn't as easy as one would like. The css-code used here does indeed not work for all browsers, cp. Stack Overflow. A simple fix [working for all relevant browsers afaik] would be sth. along these lines:

Code: Select all

.tableplace_activeplayer {
	border: 2px solid red;
	border-radius: 5px;}
.tableplace_activeplayer_current {
	border: 2px solid red;
	border-radius: 5px;}
.tableplace_activeplayer_clockalert {
	border: 2px solid red;
	border-radius: 5px;}
.tableplace_activeplayer_clockalert_current {
	border: 2px solid red;
	border-radius: 5px;}

=>


PPS: No border and just changing the background color to #ebd5bd which is used for many boxes on this site looks nicer:
