Thad: You have a mere fourteen games! I'm puzzled you'd have a problem making a move. Perhaps you should do what I've been forced to do since getting this new job. I hate having to have done it, but it has curtailed my problems with having to worry about time outs.

Play longer time limit games.

Simple solution. I don't like it, but I have understanding opponents and I do make my moves when I'm able to. I have around 30 games going. Down from 60 of a few weeks back. Since you don't have 900 games going and those people seem able to avoid time outs, I'm kind of wondering what happened. What was the time limit for the game you timed out in? Why should it matter what color it is for telling you about how much time it is? It's the amount of time left, not the color that is important. I hope you have your games listed by the amount of time left. That's how I have mine listed. That way the game with the least time left is listed first. If I know I have time to play every game when I log on, it doesn't matter which one I play first. If I only have time for a few moves I can look at the top of the list and move in the games that will time out in before the next time that I think I'll log on.
