when deeply reflecting I don't like it either.

although it was quite funny to watch 'my' well known backstabbers
from iyt instantly starting to spin in the background after my first post here,
(exchanging messages means calling the other one's profile ) :D

actually I don't want either that opponents know which
games I review to get some tips about their usual tactics ...

the big-brother objection is also understandable.
maybe a more general display would do it like
'viewing games' - 'viewing profile' - 'playing' - 'inactiv'
and so on. inactive could cover the automatic refreshing,
if there's no action appearantly for half an hour. ~*~
