sydneyapplebaum 11-Oct-11, 06:30	Green dot question A player on my team had the "available for team games" green dot showing for a couple of weeks - I check availability multiple times each day. Today it is off and according to his profile the player has not been online in more than 2 days. How did it get turned off? Bug? Thanks. Ray
doji 11-Oct-11, 06:39	No The most likely is that he is playing his maximum games due to his membership or settings. Another possibility is that he has a vacation flag. Who is it? Maybe I can take a look at his profile.
sydneyapplebaum 11-Oct-11, 07:34	Ecastro715 Probably unrelated, he's timed out his last 10 games.
kingdawar 11-Oct-11, 07:53	A player becomes unavailable after not logging in for 48 hours. i.e.: Your challenge to team "** The Fighting Warriors **" has been automatically cancelled due to one of the participating players in your team becoming unavailable for team matches: white_knight_03. Reason: More than 2 days since last time online.
sydneyapplebaum 11-Oct-11, 08:04	Thanks kingdawar. Doji Pm'd me too. Is this rule posted somewhere?
kingdawar 11-Oct-11, 08:07	No I don't think so. It's a preventive measure, otherwise it'd happen quite often that team captains unwittingly assign team matches to players who are away for a few weeks... the two games would be lost by timeout on move one.
sydneyapplebaum 11-Oct-11, 08:12	Right. Thanks again.
a******8 12-Oct-11, 16:08	kingdawar But many of our 5 day team players often don't log in before 48 hours! So I sent a message to the administrators asking them to change their automated robot from 48 hours to 72 hours. How many captains have team members who go a little past 48 hours before they log in again? I'll bet a lot of you have this problem. GameKnot could make this change easily, but they won't do anything until people ask them to change it. Don
doji 12-Oct-11, 22:37	Right you are Don! It has been asked several times, maybe one day..... who knows!
a******8 13-Oct-11, 00:33	You know the rule of business.... - the squeaky wheel get's the oil! So if a lot of members actually send messages to the G/K administrators, it has a chance to be modified in your lifetime! * Do the right thing... - Send a message to the G/K administrators regarding the above mentioned improvement. If enough people complain the G/K will do it! Cheers, Don
