Agreed. But then why for the bulk of my games does it just show 1 day or 2 days. And then only for a select few it shows 2 days 15 mins. Surely knowing the difference between 1d 23h 55m and 1d 5m is more important than 2d 23h 55m and 2d 5m.

I don't like it - its all new and disconcerting

I want the most recent moves at the top. I don't want that turning clock unless I am in my timebank. I don't want a vague "2 days" I want exact times before I'm into my timebank like before - and I want it in bold.

Thanks for putting back the 'last move' column; much appreciated.

There does seem to be something strange going on with the rounding of the timeout times. Or there was; the ones that looked strange a few minutes ago are gone now. Before when I clicked through there seemed no rhyme or reason to how the actual time remaining matched up to the 'unrounded' versions.

Ah, there's one back now: I have one that says '1 day 38 secs' timeout, but then when you click on it it says the timeout is '1 day 3 hours and 59 minutes'. And now it's gone back to just '1 day' again. Maybe something where being on the exact hour (0 minutes) makes the seconds show up incorrectly, or something along those lines.

There must be some cutoff point in the coding (get 3D working on that) where it starts showing min/sec instead of vanilla 1d. When you click on the 1d it shows complete details of time left and timebank.

It's going to take a bit off time to get used to, but in the right direction.

Two points I would like cleared up, is the time only saying days, as has been pointed out.

The other is game criteria, i.e Clan, Torno, etc. The one missed out is others i.e normal games via invites, etc. I do have a fair few games with unrated leagues with the Scotland Club, I tend to give them priority to clear up the non-subs slots, so they can start on a new game.

But all in all a good step forward.

With a risk of being an even bigger annoyance, when you navigate away from RHP and then come back, it doesn't 'remember' 'last moved date' as your last preferred sorting option, but returns to 'game id'. Is it possible to change that?
Thanks. Excellent work. 😀

Just found another annoying thing.

If you archive a game to get it out your current games as its complete. It vanishes off your your home page, completed games in the last 7 days.

I'm happy today as I don't think I won a game in the last 7, but if I do win 🙂

How do we get back to "Manage your games" and archive the won, loss games?

OK not to keen on the new layout, but should get use to it although I do have 1 problem. I used folders for my games but had a number of games in the old default folder. How can I see these games now but only these games? I would put them into another folder but where I can select games to move it does not tell you if it is already in a folder or not.

Any help welcomed

My game list looks about the same as usual again, and I like that I can see the remaining timebank now, too. What I really dislike is that all clocks are blinking now. The blinking clocks when short on time always made me nervous, but at least they had a purpose. Maybe I am the only one who dislikes this, in which case I guess I'll just adblock them (and put up with them when I play from a different computer), but in case I am not the only one, maybe we could get an option to stop the blinking?

The whole timeout column really needs to be looked at. It seems to randomly decide whether or not to show minutes with days and only shows hours when there's less than a day left. And the sorting on that column is completely broken. I really can't fathom what order it's actually using to display games, but it's definitely not time-out.

I used to sort on 'Alert' to get a reasonable order of games by urgency. With that gone and the sort by time-out broken in the new system, it's making it pretty tough to manage games. Either fix the sort or give us back the sort by alert.

1. All my currently playing games and archived games are under the "archives" folder. I manually moved them, but where will new games appear?
(a quick way to move all your games to a new folder is --> click games that are MY MOVE only. Select All, then move to your new folder.. Click games that are your opponents move only, select all, and move to your desired folder)

2. Can we have accurate time remaining and timebank please? Also can the timebank be bold when in use (like before)

I think the sort order takes into account the timebank as well. So this is the order games would timeout in if you didn't move ever again.

This has some advantages but it would be nice to be able to sort on what is actually in the timeout column so you can move on games that are closer to getting to use the timebank. Perhaps clicking timeout should sort only on timeout (ie time before the timebank starts to get used) and clicking on timebank should sort the way timeout is currently sorting.
