I know it stands for provisional but after how many games will my rank be displayed???
Between five and ten games it is very likely that your rating will seem to behave strangely: it may go down despite you winning a game or up despite you losing. Please read the explanation of provisional ratings in the help pages before complaining!
One other thing that may surprise you (if you don't subscribe) is that, after you finish a game, it takes a little while before the site recognises that one of your six slots is available.
