Joining game issues

hello first time table top player and i would like to say that it is quite difficult to join in games due to time changes and more prominently the one time games, i do not know if the game is ongoing or not. this makes it quite iffy to join in . i would like to say that it would be better if we have a whos online at that moment who is a part of the game so that there would be a better channel of game play. also we could have a chat room style to join in rather than a message system to make transition of game lobby and game play better or why not a hybrid of both =)

Though Ive not had the same gaming issues you seem to have had I would love a 'whose online' feature for a campaign. As a GM primarily it would be great to log into the campaign details page and see how may players have already loaded the game or if I still have a few minutes to eat dinner, get a drink, grab my books, etc. Even if its just a darker/lighter avatar in the players list to see whose ready to go would be nice.
