  I'm very sorry if this question has been posed before, but I can't find it anywhere so will go ahead & ask:

  Is there any reason why a small notification box can't be made to pop up in the game window when one receives a message in their inbox?

  I doubt if very many players would interrupt their game to go check messages, just in case they missed one or two...but if they KNEW there were messages there they would check...I'm sure.

  Said messages appear in the players email almost instantly...surely we could have something in the game window?

  Just asking :)

  LOL,We've been trying to get them to change the Friends and Invites so it doesn't effect the meter now you want some thing else to pop up that might cause skips ;)

  I have also asked that question and agree with the OP 100%. Many times I've missed games after a message was sent asking me to play but since I didn't know I had a  message, I didn't check until too late.

  Everything done here seems to cause more skips, meter jerks and disconnects anyway so why not try something that would be beneficial.

  Well pardon me Sir, for thinking it was ok to air my thoughts re the game in here.

  Your remark comes across as snide, and that's not nice at all :(

  Oh and btw...it's Affect, not Effect

  very good idea Caroline, and as OBR has said, we have reuested this for a while.

   

  It does seem that WGT assume we have out profile window open at all times when we play and we should see the messages as they appear there.

  However. they dont seem to realise that the message indicator only lights up when the pages is refreshed and that also many people dont view their profile page when in a game..

   

  YES, a message indicator would be far more accepted in the game window that a 'friends list'.

  I don't think it silly, was lite heartedly referencing another problem they have with these types of items to date.

  IMO, before the implementing any new item popping in that can cause ones meter to jump they need to fix their method of implementing items so it doesn't affect game performance as is the case with the friends list.

  BTW regarding Affect vs Effect

  I stand corrected

  Oldbayrunner:

  An affect is something that acts or acted upon something else. However, an effect is the result of an action (by something else).

  Affect is a verb, effect is a noun and a verb too.  Diagram the sentence.  (Ugh, remember those days?)  :-)

  *edit. LOL. Great clip, now I know affect is also a verb. We won't talk about the confusion though.  ;-)

  Oldbayrunner:

  LOL now are we thoroughly confused

  Hahaha, great clip....but I am certainly not more confused :))

  You STILL should have used the verb Affect instead of Effect...lol

  Anyway, I understand & appreciate your point
