My Games Page Enhancement
The "My Games" page would be better if it provided a total active games count on the page. It would also be great if it displayed opponent rating as a column. rambo300

The total game count used to be there, but at some point it was decided to stop showing it. You can still see this number on your personal stats page gameknot.com.
The rating column has been proposed several times in the past, but apparently it's still not there.

It seems to be back  
It's a very nice feature! Now you can see the number of games where it is your move to make next to the "my games" tab in the menu. I really like it! Thank you GameKnot! <3

No, phyle, the display of the number of games in which it is your turn to move is completely new!

Call me slow tonight or brainless,but what is the logic behind showing a number aside of "my games" which is supposed to show me the number of games where it is my turn to move...when you can just look a bit to the right and see under my game "status" a bright orange word telling me its my move for any game listed?I must be missing something,I suppose because this seems highly redundant to me.

When browsing GameKnot, you are more conveniently notified when a move comes in, of course

Dear mister tactical_abyss, it is really useful when you got a lot of games.
Then you can go and "clean up" your games, making the to-do games moves. And then you can see you got only 103 left

Thanks phyle.....I can now see that playing a 176 games like you do,this feature would come in handy!But playing those many games at one time,well,you do not want to hear my "unbrainless"opinion about that!Good luck!

Thanks heinz!
Oh....I see.So when you are on a different page......that makes sense.I flip back all the time like lightning,so that never occurred to me.But does that number "refresh"itself while on a different page so that you can actually see it updating to a higher number if another game comes in while on a different page?If not,then browsing and showing,does no good anyway to alert you properly.

I just use the actual refresh click on option while browsing the forums...that good enough for me.
But was still wondering about a actual game# amount changing by itself while,say,i'm in the forums and depending solely upon that green square accuracy.
