We've both been on this site for 13 years padger. You even have 5 months more on here than me. You All Games Played 9645.

I've played a little over 12,000 games. At the end of the 13 years I've played a few more thousand games than you have. Try to keep up with me!!!! 😛 😉

I am also Offically retired so have more time on my hands now. I've actually been semi-r ...[text shortened]... playing on 2 other sites. I keep my count low here because my Clan games are important to me.

You have got to have the last word haven't you
I retired in 2007 ,went back to work and retired again 2010
However I was an avid golf enthusiast so that took up most of my spare time
I haven't been too well the last couple of years and Arthritis has stopped the golf now perhaps I can catch you up on total games played

I don't actually know why it's not possible to book a days vacation on the actual day but I suspect it's something to do with time zones.It's already Dec 4th in New Zealand so if someone there were to try to book a vaction at this very moment they would actually be booking it on Dec 3rd GMT which is what the site uses for it's clock.
Using the same logic , you could then book a vacation today for last July which would be a nonsense.
I don't know,or care what the other sites do as I only use this one

You asked why it's not possible to book a day's vacation on the same day.
I said I suspect it's to do with time zones.

So why is it possible on other sites to book a day off on the day who also are world wide ?
Why also is it possible on that site that they can stop the clock for both players ?
Why can't we have this ?
So discussion not ended

It doesn't matter anyways padger as you don't get it...Have you stopped to think perhaps the other site may not be doing it correctly?

I could be wrong, but I believe it was once explained that vacation days are scheduled to start at the beginning of the day, GMT.
If that is the case you cannot start a vacation today, because today is already in progress.
The earliest day that you could schedule a vacation to start would therefore be tomorrow, since it has not yet started.

If that doesn't make sense, you could always send a feedback for a better explanation. 🙂

Again read mwmiller post...it may eventually sink in as to why, as he said if you aren't happy with the explanation he gave which I think is the correct one....then send feedback!!!

How long can you maintain this pathetic whining over something so trivial?
