The ChessOnTheWeb server was offline for a few days. It is now back working correctly. Due to the site being unavailable I have disabled the automatic timeout on games.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Kind regards

Thanks for that. It was very annoying to find that when you get back on your time is nearly expired

But the Game Time is still completly lost.
Only the Move Time is resetted?

Yes, on my end, it was offline for a week. So a week of my time expired. And yes, it is annoying, but in the end, its only a game, and no one was injured. Thanks for the dedication in keeping the site going,Stoney. I thought that this last outage was the end.

The site is slowly being re-written in a more modern language. There are all kinds of issue that crop up as the operating system etc etc evolve over time. For example, the previous message in this thread posted by Chunga contained a smiley character that crashed the site! This all needs fixing.

Ban Chunga ... the server destroyer ...lol

Oh man. Wont be using emojis again. Any chance of getting our lost time back? Im really having to be on the ball to get my moves completed in a couple of days.

I've been looking at ways to reinstate the lost time, but too many factors involved to do that now unfortunately. I'll come up with a plan to handle these issues better in the future.
