Why did you remove game status?

Why did you remove game status (eg: Your turn, Waiting opponent)?
I prefer them because sometimes I play chess while doing something in the same time. When I back to my game page, I want to know if it is my turn. I have to look at time control which one is running, or look at the title of browser tab for game status. I think it is not convenient. Can you please bring them back at board again? If so, please make their font larger and more noticeable for old people (if it can be other color instead of black/white font).
Thank you
I'd like it to be more noticeable too, in quick matches sometimes when you busy calculating some tactics it's easy to miss some little pawn move on far side of the board.
Sound will help if you always sit in front of the monitor, or you do not move to the kitchen, looking for snack, or to the restroom and then back to them. Finally, my boss does not allow me to enable sound. :)
Sound really helps a lot, but still I'd like it to be more noticeable visually. Plus Jer_King has valid point :)
It's in the title of the page. Most browsers show the title on the text of the tab.
Yea, there's the:
-Title of the page
-Position on the board
-Move sounds
-Whose clock is highlighted
-Whose clock is ticking
-The PGN

All of these things indicate whose turn it is. There simply wasn't the space for an additional "X to move" string on the RHS of the board.
Ok, I need to switch to White theme since I always play in Black theme, then I can see highlighted clock (yellow). With Black theme, why do you highlight clock with gray (less noticable)?
