I'll set my alarm, that's 02:30 GMT for me.

Great to hear. One word of advice, there is a caching issue with some of the files when I upload updates, so do a ctrl "f5" (win) or ctr "r" (mac) to fully reload all files whenever you experience a problem.

edit : Having said that, only urgent fixes will be arriving next week, due to family time.

edit 2 : A small usability modification - a "lobby" button an ...[text shortened]... fused about what to do next after closing the end of game pop-up, so this needed to be made clearer.

A link has been added to the "blitz" feature here to redirect people. I'll give it a good push here next week once I'm available to deal with issues again.

@Russ
I'll carry on doing what I'm doing. In terms of setting a separate browser for Blitz only. So it sits in the background & I get a 'tinckle' if an offer is accepted.

I say this because whether it's my machine or not once you enter the Blitz you can't get back to a previous page. [edit] No, that's not happening now.

Played a game yesterday, went smooth until moves where in the 30's - squares went red (when highlighted) and the cursor 'Icon' changes. Only a refresh will clear it.

I'll be on most of the weekend, if only for an hours play?

Spectate games will be next. ( < 2 weeks.)

upper left indicating several players are online.

Observation here (maybe anal) but running multiple browsers on a machine, a better 'Bell Ring' with more sound volume indicating an accepted game🤔[edit] Played a few games & no issues with standard play - I've NOT had an EP move for against during a game yet though.

The user lobby count issue should now be fixed.

Anyone who isn't gracefully disconnected will be removed after 15 minutes anyway during a housekeeping process.

edit : This may not actually be the case after all! Back to status : Not fixed!

Spectating games in progress now, then at a later date, it will all be merged with RHP - and it will show the number of games waiting in the lobby on the blitz icon when using the web site.

A little way to go yet though, and a few other things have to take place first such as another server migration for the main RHP site too.
