Improved game snapshot at TL homepageProposalsIndex ->

Hi,

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who was involved in displaying currently played games on the TL homepage. I like to watch games of my team mates, but often find myself to be on the go with too lousy internet connection to use a regular FICS client. Hence the snapshots on the homepage are a very good solution for me!

I wonder if it is possible to add two features to these snapshots:
- display the current remaining time for the White and Black player (e.g. between the game header and the chessboard)
- by clicking on any single chessboard, go to a separate page, which would display only that single chessboard (with game header and current time remaining)?

Thanks,
MichaĂ…‚

Improving the game relay has been on my list of things to do for a while. I started working some new game relay code when we were using the previous web host, and they complained that it used too many resources, so I had to undo the changes.

Now that we have a new, better, host, I might try to make some improvements. However, our server is due to be upgraded "soon", and I don't want to make any changes until that happens.
