It would be great if the actual game url was displayed in the browser's address bar. That way if someone has to reload because of connection (or some other issues) they automatically get to the active game.

It wouldn't be hard to implement using the HTML5 history API, which is supported by all major browsers. (http://caniuse.com/#feat=history)

eg:

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.call("history.pushState({},'',"+game_url+")");

on loading a new game.

(One could even listen to the popstate event and make the browser's back button work properly. :)

Oooh, ain't this a clever hack.

Nice, considering my lousy internet connection, this would be useful for RT games.
