Board Game Arena

if possible, the server should send the current move # to all players in active games every <time interval> - e.g. every 10 seconds

if the game's internal move # does not match what it just got from the server*, it should notify the player that he was disconnected


for the last few days, BGA (and only BGA) has been disconnecting and otherwise misbehaving, but half the time I see it as one of the other players disconnecting or not taking their moves, so I expect that this is not currently happening


* you need to keep track of move numbers from the last 3 pings - if there is a mismatch during all 3 but the internal move number stays the same, tell the user about it (so you are stuck in a disconnect state without knowing it for 30 seconds, instead of the until-someone-starts-complaining-in-chat like it is now)

Because of my rather unstable connection, it happens to me quite often that the signal from BGA server telling my browser it's my turn gets lost somewhere and I have to refresh to actually see that my alloted time is already half red. I am otherwise able to play without problems, so my connection can't be that bad. If Infomage's suggestion was implemented, it would make my playing incredibly easier.
