Concise description:
Add to profile, the option "notify via pm when turn has started"
Specifics:
Add to existing options (notify via email, etc.) the option to get a pm notice, much like one gets for speed games.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
This will help both people who go to the forums and people who might play more than one game at once. In particular, it will help people, such as myself, who start a game, then get involved in the forums and leave other players waiting a bit too long on occasion.
Emails help if you are not on-site. However, they do nothing for the above situations.
Offer "its your turn" pm option

Re: Offer "its your turn" pm option
darth emperor, i think PLAYER57832 is not looking for emails but for PM's( to be send when a game starts)
Its a valid suggestion.Obviously third party software also has the option to be warned, however since i dont use firefox i am unsure of its specifics.
The option to toggle between email and pm should not be too hard and i do see its advantages.

Re: Offer "its your turn" pm option
You are correct, there is a third party software for Firefox, found here. I use it, and it is helpful, its only downside is that it updated itself every 5 minutes, so its not a good tool for watching out for speed game turns.SirSebstar wrote:darth emperor, i think PLAYER57832 is not looking for emails but for PM's( to be send when a game starts)

An option for PM's would be a great idea as well, because sometimes I will play speed games while surfing the forum, and having the option to receive a PM when those turns begin would be awesome
But for you, PLAYER57832, since you are a freemium member, the link I mentioned above should be good enough for you to use... If you have Firefox.
