I have a couple things with the web site that I wanted to suggest changes for, namely how games end when playing turn based and how much a pain it is to get to your table list after doing a turn.
From a feel good perspective I think that when a turn based game ends there should be a final table state 'in game' that shows the board, congratulates the winner, lists the player's final placements, and lets everyone fire off their closing posts - say 'I'll get you next time gadget' etc. As it is now when the game ends you get an email and the table drops off your list of active tables. That just feels bad and a bit less social than it should be. Having the table linger a bit in your list would be good for morale and would be easy enough to dismiss if you are in a hurry to move on.
Imagine playing Twilight Imperium for a month or more and then the game just ...ends. What a bummer. You really need a victory lap here.
The second suggestion is it can take a bunch of clicks to get back to your active table list from inside a game. It is ok when its not your turn in a game, you get a nice button to return to the list. however if you have a couple tables with turns to play the button changes to now take you to the next table you have a turn waiting which is a pain since you can't pick which one it opens if you have a bunch. you have to click out to the main site, then click your avatar to get to the view all current tables button etc. I think that you should be able to get back to the table listing way easier so you can pick which turn you want to do next.
