Hi.

I wonder if it would be possible to have a Connectivity icon beside the players name, when you play?

Example:

We turn the username red if they get disconnected. You might be thinking of OKbridge, which shows a red dot if the player has a slow connection.

No, I'm thinking of the red dot that showed up on the Windows version when a player might, or might not, be about to get disconnected. I haven't noticed anything turn red on the browser version, just the sudden appearance of an empty seat. (I've never used OKBridge.) That said, I don't really notice changes in colours unless I'm staring right at something; just one of the many reasons why, for me, playing on the browser version doesn't seem to allow me to engage fully with the game.

What I'm thinking of is tourneys, or regular tables when a seat is reserved for a player. In that case, when the player gets disconnected they get a red background behind their name.

But if a seat isn't assigned to a specific player you're right, you're right, it just becomes an empty seat when they get disconnected.
