Thanks for reporting this. It is almost certainly due to the transfer to PBEM3 rather than the update itself. I will report the issue to the relevant parties.

Give us a chance!

It isn't actually a bug. The original PBEM3 design automatically removes old games, so the programmer thought that the old "End Stalled Game" functionality was no longer necessary.

We have told him we would like it back, so hopefully he will be able to put it back when time permits.

However, there is a lot of other stuff on his plate, and it isn't really top priority.

OK it is just that the DL is about to start and that is when I normally have issues when accepting and making challenges as the game tells me I have to many games open despite that not being the case.

After how many days are non-active games removed? For example, I'm having a game that has been with the other player since December 29th.

Also, are non-accepted challenges also removed after a certain number of days?

Thanks. And that applies whether the challenge has been picked up or not?

I am not entirely clear from the reply I received. Restoring the function of the "End Stalled Game" button is on the work list for the PBEM++ programmer. Hopefully it won't take too long. It shouldn't require a game update.

Hi Richard is there any date on this being resolved? There does seem to be a reluctance to play by players this season and it would be good if the games feature of being able to claim a game after 7 days of no activity was returned to the way it was designed.

I agree, but it has not been resolved yet. The guy who programs the PBEM system is snowed under with higher priority tasks. Please be patient.
