Separation of system messages

You might have noticed a new link in the left column of BrainKing pages, called Events, just below Message Box. Starting today, all messages generated by the system (game resignation, tournament invitation, winner notification etc.) will be shown on this page, while the former Message Box would be used for personal messages only.

The reason is simple. I've made a fast lookup and realized that only 10% (or less) of all messages are actually sent by BrainKing users and it's easy to overlook them in the middle of the system ones, especially if you play many tournaments and don't visit BrainKing for 2 weeks. Furthermore, many people don't even read system messages and delete them without opening - and I cannot blame them. Sometimes, I do it too.

The Events page is probably not flawless because the whole structure of system event generation has been fully rewritten, in order to make it compatible with upcoming new version of BrainKing. Any suspicious behaviour of missing functionality can be reported to the Bug Tracker, of course.
