Walter Montego: I must say, what does it matter to you guys if someone is cloaked? They either move in their games, or they don't. I do not like the cloak feature because, as pgt has pointed out, it interfers with me knowing if my opponent is checking out our game or not and if I want to stay online or call it a night.

You answered yourself.......!
I like to play some Backgammon and Hypergammon games almost live. And if the damn thing at online opponents shows "cloak mode" then how should i know to go to the game..........It is very nice to see an opponent to play and then going there to play too, and looking forward for what he replied ...etc. With cloak-thing this can't be done with all opponents.........Hopefully there are others that hate this cloak-thing........
