How do you know it wouldn't slow down the server, Mike? The other sites (especially IYT) almost guaranteed have much faster servers than here. So their servers can tolerate the added members and calculations required for this. Maybe it wouldn't be very much slower if this was done. I don't know what kind of server Fencer has, and it would also depend on the number of backgammon moves (which seems to be quite a bit - quite a popular game).

I am not going to argue about it anymore, however. I believe i have made my points, and do not need to make them again.

But I believe one of your major points was that it rarely happens. I think it probably happens much more frequently than "rarely". I just had 2 times occur today alone at IYT, where I could have used this flaw to my advantage, if they had been games here. I think it WOULD be a problem to have Fencer manually fix this at each occurance. Though, then again, a lot of people may not always pay attention to their opponent's move and wouldn't even notice.

I agree though that it certainly isn't an EMERGENCY.. it would just be nice if it were fixed. This is by NO means a real complaint. I am TOTALLY in love with this site. Fencer is my hero! :-D
