There's something that I don't find normal in turn based chess... I don't see my opponents messages when he/she sends it, I see it only when he moves or I refresh the page(refreshing doesn't work when you're typing I think)

Why it can't be like the Live Chess? Is it a programming issue or something? Or it was meant to be...? What do you think? (you is plural here:)

yavuz -  this is a recent problem - 3 months ago it was all right. [messages were coming immediately] - in fact in our game I was thinking - some new bug .. messages were getting stuck - in fact once in our game : page refresh didn't work either, so I had to leave the game and go to it again.

Or maybe it happened before also - I forgot : I am playing a game non-silently after many months :)

This bug affects the vote chess games as well.  The Dark Knights just played a 5-minute per turn Vote Chess game and we needed to keep hitting the refresh button to see what everyone was saying.  With only 5 minutes per move, the discussions had to be done very quickly, and not seeing the other comments when they are posted made things more difficult than I think they needed to be.  I also noticed that the board would automatically refresh when THEIR move was made, but not ours.

this is the web people - it wasn't meant to be real-time :) we're adding it where we can, but not easy.
