Feedback on the new game chooser interface

Clarkey: Indeed I'm adding a chart that shows games on a Elo+time scale, like chess.com does for live games.

I can do linear order but it does look weird when game disappear.
Just an idea. I'm not sure what to do with the 960 indicator, but that's where I've thrown it. http://imgur.com/RWqsEew
I thought I couldn't, but when someone joined my game (that usually takes a while because of my rating), it did start (it wasn't the elo range I expected because I didn't know that others could see my game while I couldn't and I couldn't see which elo range I had chosen). A major disadvantage of not being able to see the games you want to start is that you feel like you have to watch the screen the entire time in case you created a game earlier on and someone joins it. I would also prefer it if we could make the notifications disappear temporarily (like we could with the chat). The big square button in the middle of the screen and the notifications make the screen look crowded. Another change that I don't like is that the website automatically starts in Dutch instead of English for me (I have to change it every time). I do really like the change that Advanced Search now has the possibility to search analyzed games.
Thanks for feedback.

I'm improving and fixing the lobby right now. You will see your own games.

By notifications, you mean the proposed game? You want a way to hide them? I'm not sure to understand this point.

About the language: when you go to "lichess.org", you are being redirected to "de.lichess.org" because of your browser language preference. If you want the english version, go directly to "en.lichess.org". You may want to update your bookmark.

Thank you very much!

I meant the timeline (for example: " thibault posted in forum Feedback on the new game choos [...] about a minute ago"). The main reason why this website became my favourite chess website is because of how clean (little clutter) the website looked; the new game chooser, the timeline and the big "No game available right now, create one!"-button changed that a bit.
I think what I would like is a way to close my own game tile after I create it.

There is an X that lets you, but it seems I'm lucky for it to even appear on the board map. Many times when I create a game there is a large time delay before my own game shows up in the tiler, so, I can't close right away. :(
Meph, I think that I found by clicking on my own games the game request was canceled. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to work, however.
