Board not visible during disconnection!

Hey,

All of us suffer sometimes from disconnection problems while playing. I think the site has greatly improved since the reconnect possibility. What I find unfair though is that while you are disconnected you don't see the bord!!! All of a sudden you are in a blindfold game without being warned :-) Now I guess this wouldn't be a problem for the likes of Paul Morphy but for me the board is gone and I can't even think about the position while trying to reconnect. Any way to fix that? Would be a great improvement and would also be more fair.

Cheers,

Midi

It's not that you can't see any subsequent moves (obviously being disconnected from the server prevents that) -- it's that you can't see the game situation at the moment when you disconnected, because a big message saying "You're disconnected" blocks the board!  So even if it's your turn, you can't consider your move while waiting for the connection to re-establish (which often does happen while you still have time on the clock).  I think Midi's suggestion is a good one.... and it's an easy problem to fix:  just move the pop-up "You're disconnected" message over in front of the chat window, instead of on top of the board.  Or, allow it to be moved after it pops up.
