Added new feature to receive notifications. You will be notified when new lobbies are found and connection issues or timeouts occur.
They are interactive meaning they can be clicked on. When you click on "New Lobby Found" notification it should join you to that lobby. When timeout/connection broken notification is clicked on it should try to reconnect. Lobbies are searched from current filter you have set, not from the entire list.
They are implemented as part of HTML5 Notification API which means they are heavily browser dependent but they also have really nice features such as you can have browser minified or out of focus or be on some another tab and you still will receive notifications. As long you have browser opened and page opened in some tab you will continue receiving them. This should make keeping an eye on lobbies on unpopular times much easier since you don't have to have the page focused.
To enable notifications click on the "Speaker" icon in the top-right corner of the page. You will be prompted by browser to allow notifications, click on allow. Most browser remember or offer an option to remember your choice. If you wish to forget the choice especially if you accidentally clicked on "deny" you have to google how to do that for the respective browser you are using. Or ask me on the chat for help.
As this HTML5 feature is fairly new not all browsers support them. Currently they seem to work best on Chrome and Firefox. Opera also supports them but on Windows 10 it seems to use Windows 10 notification UI and does not seem to stack them up, meaning you will miss some notifications. IE/Edge currently does not seem to support them at all.
For lobbies I currently display lobby name, slots count and map name. Each notification is displayed for 4 seconds. Please let me know if you would like to have these hardcoded settings (lobby name, slots count, map name and 4 second timeout) configurable or they are good as they currently are.
I also added donations button if some of you would like to help me keeping the site up and running. You can read more about how much it costs from here.
