Edit: I've now found it under "WATCH Games in Progress". That's not at all intuitive because I don't watch my games in progress. They are all turn based. I just want to see the list of them. Suggestion: Rename this tab to something like "Games in progress"
Edit: After roaming the site for so long looking for my games in progress, with no prompt for those waiting for me to take my turn, I clicked on a pop up for someone adding a comment to one of my games in progress. That's how I finally got to that game. It was only after that that my yellow bar up top appeared showing I had many games waiting for me. Must be a bug.
A propos the last point, you do have to refresh the page fairly frequently.
You do not have to refresh to get the yellow bar to come up. It will come up on its own if a new turn comes up. Mine does it all the time. So if this is not working correctly for Emfatic, then it's a bug.
That said, you have to refresh if you want them to come up "in order," i.e. starting with the one that has needed a turn longer. But not to get the yellow bar just to tell you that you have turns up. If you have a rather long list and can't find it without refreshing, you can click on the "x waiting for you" and be taken to the first one.
You are probably right that this is not the intended behavior, but it is certainly the observed behavior. (To sourisdudesert: I saw you had sent me a message about this, but can't seem to work out how to reply directly to you
) To be more clear, I have observed, on Chrome Version 57.0.2987.98 (64-bit) on a Mac, that
1. If I have my games in progress page open in a window, and I have no turns, and then one of my opponents plays and it becomes my turn, *usually* the yellowbar appears on its own, but *not always*. I know this because whenever I am running low on time on a turn-based game, I enable email-notification for my turns, and sometimes I receive the email first, and see no sign of the yellow bar until I have refreshed the page. (Or perhaps it is just that I have very little patience and have never managed to wait long enough for it to appear on its own. The fact remains that sometimes, though not always, the email comes first.)
2. If I have my games in progress page open in a window, with the yellow bar on top indicating that it is my turn on a few games, but they happen to be games that, for whatever reason, I don't want to play on right away, then I often minimize or background the window and do other things on my computer. When I return to the window, the yellow bar still shows the same number of games with my turn as it did before, even though it may now be my turn on many more tables, but this is not updated until the page is refreshed.
Frankly, I don't think it is a big deal to have to refresh the page fairly often. Nevertheless, if the yellow bar is supposed to be up to the minute without refreshing, then there is certainly a bug.
