when you challenge players, make sure you challenge the Green players who are active. You can use the filter too to sort for active players.

I think the game needs a "step by step" tutorial (maybe with a video of explanation) focused on how this site works (I'm not talking about game rules, they are already well shown in the game manual).

I've started writing one. Ill post it tomorrow. It won't be with fancy video's since I don't have the know-how, but Ill use fancy screen shots instead. ;-)

[Some remarks of mine.]

1. Webpage
This is where you come once you log in. Here the updates are visible, like new cards and features recently added. (Latest News) On the left you see links to other informational parts of this site. If there is something you don't know, you might find it there.

3. Challenges
Here you can manage in and outgoing messages and challenges. To actually start a game a player has to challenge another one and the other has to accept. When you have an incomming message or challenge, an icon of an envelope appears.
3.1
Here you can see the incoming challenges (if any). In this case you see an incoming challenge. The two main options are 'Accept'and 'Reject' If you Reject, no game starts. If you accept a game is opened with the deck (make sure you have one ;-)) you've selected in the dropdown menu. (In the example, the chosen seck is named 'Barbarian Templars')If you select "Outgoing" you can view your current outgoing challenges. From here you can choose to withdraw a challenge (for example, if the other player went offline) or wait until the other player accepted. If they do a new game is opened.
3.2
Here you can view your in (Inbox) and outgoing (Sent mail) messages. You can select how old these messages should be at max.

4. Players
This is where you can challenge and send messages other players. Also you can view the info they filled in about them selves.
4.1
With this, you can filter the player list on on line status. If you want to start a new game by challenging a player, you probably want the filter on active players.
4.2
Here you can sort the players on nationality, username, wins and free game slots.
4.3
Here you can:
i: view the info on a player
m: send a message to a player
Challenge: challenge a player
Challenging a player is very similar to accepting a challenge. The only difference is that you can add a message.
Note: from i you can go to m and challenge as well.

5. Games
From here you can view and acces your open games. If it's your turn in one of them, a two crossed swords icon appears. If you are viewing the game screen, you'll see your active games. If they are yellow it means it's your turn. If they are lined green, it means that your opponent is currently on line.

6. Decks
From here you can access and edit your decks. Of course, Your changes don't apply for current games with the deck, but they will for new ones.
[How decks are build is already somewhat explained in current game manual. I suggest moving it here, since it's not that related to actual playing.]

7. Novels
Here you can find a fantasy novel which is being written by Lukáš Cajági. In the menu on the left you can choose which book you want to read. (Here Book 1: Shattered lives is already chosen.) Once you chose a book (though there is currently only one) you can choose a chapter to start to read in. Once in a chapter, you can select another page to go to from the dropdown menu.

8. Settings
Here you can change your settings and change the info other players can acces via "4. Players"[How to deal with this type of references]. All options pretty much speak for themselves.

9. Logout
Speaks for itself. You can do this to remove the forum icon.

10. Refresh
The site doesn't automatically refresh, and doesn't respond very well to the refresh button of most browser. So if you want to check weither[?Language] one of your opponents made a move, use this button.

[It doesn't feel too clear yo me, but I think layout could fix this.][Im not a native English speaker, so also at that point it might need a review.]
