Uday,

Just another suggestion along the same lines as gerardo's concerning latent mail messages....

This mainly concerns again those of us who may leave BBO idle.....

Under the current scenario, when you return after, 20 mins say, you have to scroll back perhaps many pages (especially when some manic twat has flooded the lobby with 3 pages of rubbish or after a flurry of - justifiable ;) -substitute requests for tourney) to see whether anybody has sent you a private message - along with perhaps making a mental bench-mark of a message you may have last made, received or recognise....

I was thinking if there was perhaps some better mnemonic which may have some other intrinsic value maybe.....like

A Little box telling you either how many private messages you have received during the session ie [Private Massages Received:18] so when you come back and it has incremeneted to 20 you know you have one...and if it stays the same you know you have none and no need to scroll back :D

Or along the same lines a message like "Uday last sent you privvy at 5:34 pm".

Either way you have an "At-a-Glance" method of knowing whether you have unread lobby messages...

Unlikely to happen anytime soon ;)
It isnt that this suggestion has no value, it is that there are plenty of things i'd like to see on the client before i asked FG to spend time on this.

I'd suggest disabling lobby chat when walking away from PC.

In an ideal world, you;d be able to click a button and see all the messages that arrived while you were away. Maybe someday.....
