Ok so your not always online. So send us only email alerts when we're offline and only after x hours not like for every move.

this, too, has been suggested and answered. i'm not a techie, so my answer doesn't count, but the "programmers" tell us that it's far more complicated to do this than it seems

if you are a programmer and think it's easy, then go to the Developers forum and you can work on the site i think

Use a free account like gmail or hotmail, and you can use an email alert notifier to beep when you receive an email (ie: receive a move).

You can also set up email filters to help keep your inbox clear.

Thank you Ragnorak, I never thought of that and I will consider the option

I know too little about those stuff to know how to do it, that's why I post it, maybe someone else knows.

That's easy - just ring Russ up after your phone has been disconnected and it all gets sorted out for you!

Or just go to My Settings > My Email Settings > and then turn off move notifications. Or have I misunderstood what you're talking about?

No I think you got it, and I did turn it off, but still, the internet is making everyone's life easier, so I thought a BEEP sound or something would be nice 🙂

If you are looking for "something" you could try one of the firefox extensions. One notifies you how many games you have waiting and the other just has a little pawn icon that goes red. Whether you are at RHP [etc] or not.
No sound, but they both work well.

They may be sent to you but you won't get 'em till you go online.
