if real time games are going to be allowed, can there be an option to switch games back and forth? eg myself and whoever are both online so our current games have a tickbox/prompt for both of us to agree to go 'real time' and then if one of us has to go, we can then deselect it?

I (accidentally) just tried to submit a move after typing a comment and not hitting send and was pleasantly surprised to see a reminder pop up. Thanks for the added improvement, ZE!

On the page where you see the list of opponents along with different columns. One of the columns- Game Type using L, T and blank (regular game). When you see L or T, you cannot tell which kind of ladder game or tournament is.... my suggestion- L B (Ladder Backgammon), L N (Ladder Nackgammon) and L AD (Ladder Acey Deucey..... for Tournaments - T B (Tournament-Backgammon) and T N (Tournament Nackgammon)..... Make sense?

I'd like to see cubed games on Top Rated Players, just like the actual game variations. Even though, it overlaps with them. Most cube games, most cube points, points per game avg.?

The way it would come in handy at this particular moment is, I'd like to use it to look up what other players play a lot of cube games; so I can challenge new people that enjoy the same game variation as I.

Feel free to use the subject heading as the name of your new band.

How about if you have 50 or 75 active games and you are going on a vacation and wanted to finish your games before you leave, is there any way no one can challenge you at that time for 5 or 10 days? I don't want to have unfinished games for that many days.

You can customize your Active Games list and add the 'V' column to show which Variation it is (AD,NG or blank for Backgammon). Hope this helps!

You can set your account in vacation mode for up to 30 days as a subscriber. So, if you will be out of town for 10 days, set your account to vacation mode a few days before you leave. You can play your games while in vacation mode, but you cannot be challenged during this time. You can always cancel your vacation mode at any time before the date set of your return.

This is actually a small request, and probably not so important, but still, I think it would be a nice tweak in the sort order...

At the moment, I've got my backgammon game priority set to "Most moves made. This is nice, because, I can only play a few moves at a time at the moment, so I finish games quickly and reduce my number of games this way.

Only one problem - New challenges have no moves made, so they always come last. Since I very seldom get through all my moves in a single sitting, I never get round to seeing or accepting new challenges unless I go to my games list to check. Sometimes it takes a day or two before I even notice new challenges. I'm worried that I have missed some game offers due to timeout.

My suggestion, therefore, is to place new challenges first in game priority, irrespective of game order.
